Dave Grohl joined AC/DC onstage for “Highway to Hell” at the band’s Oct. 2 Power Up tour show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Foo Fighters had filled in for the Pretty Reckless for the second time on the tour. The show had been rescheduled from Sept. 25 because of dangerous weather.
Dave Grohl joined AC/DC onstage for a performance of “Highway to Hell” during the band’s Oct. 2 Power Up tour concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Foo Fighters had also performed at the rescheduled show, filling in for the Pretty Reckless for the second time on the tour.
The concert took place at MetLife Stadium after being moved from Sept. 25 because of dangerous weather, according to Stereogum’s report. During AC/DC’s set, the Australian band brought Grohl out to join them on its well-known song. The report describes the appearance as a rare instance of AC/DC sharing the stage with another performer, though it does not provide a tally or further examples.
Foo Fighters’ opening slot was also a repeat of the arrangement at an earlier tour date. The band had previously opened for AC/DC in St. Louis on Sept. 8, after stepping in for the Pretty Reckless. The New Jersey date marked the second time Foo Fighters had filled that role on AC/DC’s Power Up tour.
During Foo Fighters’ set, Grohl recalled seeing AC/DC’s concert film Let There Be Rock when he was 11. He described the experience as formative, saying it showed him how intense live rock performance could be. The account of his remarks was included in Stereogum’s report, which also said Grohl had previously shared the memory on Instagram.
A Childhood Influence Meets AC/DC
The appearance connected Grohl’s early inspiration with a live performance alongside the band he credited with shaping his ambitions. His recollection gave the collaboration a personal dimension beyond a guest spot: he told the New Jersey audience that seeing AC/DC as a child helped him imagine a life in music.
For concertgoers, the pairing also made an already unusual tour date distinct. Foo Fighters were on the bill as replacements for the Pretty Reckless, and Grohl then appeared during AC/DC’s headline set. The available report confirms the performance but does not establish whether the collaboration was planned in advance or will happen again.

How Foo Fighters Joined the Bill
AC/DC’s Power Up tour stop in New Jersey had originally been scheduled for Sept. 25. Stereogum reported that dangerous weather led to its rescheduling to Oct. 2 at MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford. The supplied report does not specify the weather conditions or give further details about the decision.
Foo Fighters had already stepped in as an opening act at the tour’s Sept. 8 show in St. Louis. Their return in that role in New Jersey was described as the second time they had filled in for the Pretty Reckless. The New Jersey performance thus involved two separate developments: Foo Fighters taking the opening slot and Grohl later joining AC/DC for “Highway to Hell.”
““I didn’t know that rock and roll could be like that.””

Details of the Guest Appearance
The report confirms that Grohl joined AC/DC for “Highway to Hell”, but it does not say how the collaboration was arranged, whether Grohl rehearsed with the band, or how long he remained onstage. The source material also does not establish whether this was the only song he performed with AC/DC.
It is also unclear whether the guest appearance will be repeated at another Power Up tour date. Stereogum characterized AC/DC’s practice of sharing the stage with other performers as extremely rare, but the supplied material does not provide a history or numerical comparison to quantify that description.

Remaining Power Up Tour Dates
The reported development is a completed performance, not an announced ongoing collaboration. AC/DC’s tour schedule and any future guest appearances would be the next points to watch; the source material does not identify a forthcoming date with Grohl or say that another joint performance is planned.
The rescheduled New Jersey concert has now taken place. No additional information was provided about the postponement beyond the report’s reference to dangerous weather, or about whether Foo Fighters will fill in for the Pretty Reckless at any further stops.
