Rock Legends Unite! AC/DC & Dave Grohl Ignite MetLife Stage
Witness the electrifying moment as Dave Grohl joins AC/DC for a legendary "Highway to Hell" performance at their Power Up Tour's final, unforgettable show!
Rock history was made Friday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as AC/DC wrapped up their two-year-long Power Up Tour with an explosive performance. The final show, which had been rescheduled from September 25 due to a nor'easter, delivered a moment fans won't soon forget: Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl joining the iconic band on stage for a rip-roaring rendition of \"Highway to Hell.\"
Grohl, whose band Foo Fighters served as the surprise opening act, expressed his profound admiration for AC/DC throughout the evening. Before their set, he shared a personal anecdote, recalling how seeing AC/DC's 'Let There Be Rock' movie at age 11 ignited his passion for music. \"I didn't know that rock n' roll could be like that.
I didn't know that rock n' roll was sweat and blood and fucking tears and every ounce of energy you had,\" Grohl told the roaring crowd, adding, \"I said, 'I want to do that for the rest of my fucking life.' So here we are… I'm going to live my childhood dream again, tonight.\"
The dream became a reality when AC/DC's legendary vocalist Brian Johnson announced Grohl's appearance. \
Hey everybody, we got something to tell you. You better listen up close now. A very good friend of ours asked us today if he could come up and join us for 'Highway for Hell.' And we said, 'Yes Dave, you can,'\
Johnson declared, before exclaiming, \"David Grohl.
Music's brilliant, isn't it?\" The collaboration sent shockwaves of excitement through the stadium, marking a truly epic conclusion to the tour.
This final show supported AC/DC's 2020 LP 'Power Up,' a tour that began in May 2024 and concluded on Friday. While the band has yet to reveal definitive future plans, Johnson's parting words to the crowd, \"Good night, hope we'll see you again\", hint at the possibility that this extensive trek might be AC/DC's last.
Regardless of what the future holds, the MetLife concert, crowned by Grohl's unforgettable guest appearance, stands as a monumental chapter in rock and roll lore.", "city": "East Rutherford
