Foo Fighters + AC/DC one night only dream blood rush
A Rock Dream Realized: Foo Fighters Step In for AC/DC in St. Louis
When rock legends collide, the resulting energy is electric. That is exactly what is unfolding as the Foo Fighters prepare to step into an unexpected role, supporting the titans of AC/DC for a special, one-night-only event in St. Louis.
The news of the arrangement has sent ripples through the music world. The show is slated for September 8, and the anticipation is palpable as the two powerhouse bands unite on stage, offering fans a unique convergence of rock history.
For previous stops on AC/DC’s ‘Power Up’ world tour, the support slot had been filled by The Pretty Reckless. However, last-minute changes meant that The Pretty Reckless will not be making the trip to Missouri. Enter the Foo Fighters, stepping in to fill the void, marking a rare and thrilling opportunity for the band.
This unexpected collaboration places the Foo Fighters in the spotlight, providing a special opening act for Dave Grohl and his band. This moment is more than just a gig; it is described as literally a dream come true for Grohl.
Grohl shared how being asked to join Brian Johnson and the rest of AC/DC on the tour is a deeply personal experience. Inspired by the band after watching the 1980 film Let There Be Rock as a child, he described the experience as the moment that truly introduced him to the raw, primal power of rock and roll performance.
“It was like nothing I had ever experienced before,” Grohl recounted. “How could five human beings conjure and possess such intensity on stage with just their instruments, and do so with such swagger, such groove… and such danger? My mind was blown. Melted. Changed forever.”
He continued, reflecting on the sheer intensity of live performance, noting how the experience fundamentally shifted his perspective on music and stage presence. He expressed that the show taught him that to truly deliver what the audience deserves, you must bring absolute passion and energy.
Now, the Foo Fighters get to share that explosive energy with AC/DC, bringing two generations of rock royalty together for a spectacular single night. It is a testament to the enduring, undeniable force of rock music.
While this collaboration is a highlight, the Foo Fighters’ touring schedule remains packed with high-octane dates. Following the St. Louis appearance, the band will continue their ‘Take Cover’ tour across North Dakota, California, Kentucky, Nevada, and more throughout September and October, before kicking off an Australian leg of their tour at the end of the year.
Meanwhile, AC/DC continues their ‘Power Up’ tour, hitting dates across the US, including Atlanta and Texas. Fans can look forward to the continuing roar of these iconic acts, bridging musical eras one unforgettable performance at a time.
