Later this week, on Friday, Sept. 25, iconic rock band AC/DC will be coming to MetLife Stadium for a one-night stop of their Power Up Tour. The tour is named after the band’s most recent album, which came out in 2020. The tour has brought the band to some of the biggest stadiums across the world and East Rutherford, New Jersey will be their latest stop. The show is set to begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.
AC/DC are no strangers to the area, having played in the Meadowlands several times before. In 2015, the band performed at MetLife Stadium as part of their Rock or Bust World Tour. Prior to the venue’s construction, AC/DC played at the IZOD Center, now known as the Meadowlands Arena, in 2008 for their Black Ice World Tour. The band played at the venue even earlier, when it was the Continental Airlines Arena, playing in 1996 and 2000.
AC/DC played their first show over five decades ago, in 1973, growing into one of the most influential rock bands in history in that span. The band has sold over 200 million albums worldwide and their ‘Back in Black’ LP is the ‘bestselling album by any band ever’. AC/DC deservingly took their spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 2003 and has continued to perform for millions of their fans.
The Power Up Tour has taken the band to Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Canada and all across the United States. Their MetLife Stadium stop will be taking place as the band begins to conclude its tour, with the only date after their stop in East Rutherford taking place a few days later on Sept. 29 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The band’s openers for the show will be The Pretty Reckless, a rock band fronted by Taylor Momsen that boasts 2.4 million monthly listeners. As the band prepares to bring its latest tour, it will be revisiting a familiar location to give an unforgettable performance to the tens of thousands of fans in attendance.
