“As a result of yesterday’s extreme weather, Rogers Stadium sustained significant damage,” a statement from Live Nation (via Pollstar) reads. “As always, the safety of our employees and on-site contractors is our top priority. Fortunately, no one was injured during the extreme weather event. We are currently assessing the extent of the damage and will provide further information as it becomes available.”
The Toronto Star reported that the damage extended outside the venue, noting debris from the venue’s damaged plastic portable toilet frames scattered across the field and a toppled portable light stand.
After enduring numerous misfortunes during 2015-16’s Rock or Bust tour, AC/DC has had a much easier time on the Power Up tour, which kicked off in May 2024.
They have announced that this tour will conclude with the Sept. 29 show in Philadelphia, with no comments on their future plans.
