Rogers Stadium in Toronto cancelled AC/DC’s scheduled September 16, 2026 concert after a severe storm caused significant structural damage to the 50,000-capacity venue, according to an Instagram announcement made by the venue on September 9, 2026. The extreme weather event, which brought heavy rainfall and intense winds, damaged several seating sections on the stadium’s north side during the second season of operations.
Storm Damage Forces Season Closure at Rogers Stadium
The severe weather struck the venue on September 2, 2026. Live Nation Canada submitted a damage report to the city on September 8, 2026, detailing the necessary repairs. Engineers subsequently inspected the site and determined that the affected north-side seating sections must be completely removed and rebuilt prior to the next concert season. Because engineers and executives could not secure an alternative venue in Toronto large enough to accommodate the massive crowd, organizers cancelled the final show.
Concert Cancellation and Ticketholder Reimbursements
The cancelled AC/DC performance was slated to be the 20th and final show of the venue’s summer season, serving as one of the last stops on the band’s PWR/UP tour. The tour leg included a scheduled concert in Montreal on September 12, 2026, and a final Canadian date at Winnipeg’s Princess Auto Stadium on September 20, 2026. Ticketholders who purchased passes for the Toronto event through Ticketmaster will receive full and automatic reimbursements, according to the venue’s official statement.
Rogers Stadium hosted 19 individual concerts during its 2026 season, nearly doubling the 12 events held during its inaugural year in 2025. Major acts like Bruno Mars—who opened the summer with a five-night run—alongside Chris Stapleton and BTS performed at the venue prior to the storm. Venue operators stated that focus has shifted entirely toward safe and responsible structural rebuilding to prepare the site for the following summer.
