The band had been due to perform at the venue on Wednesday, September 16. But a powerful thunderstorm that swept through the city earlier this month has derailed those plans.
The September 2 storm caused buckling and major damage to sections of the stadium's seating area.
AC/DC Cancels Toronto Show After Stadium Damage
Rogers Stadium took to social media to update fans and announce the cancellation.
"We regret to announce that AC/DC's show scheduled for September 16, 2026 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto has been cancelled due to damage the venue sustained following a severe weather event," the statement read.
"The safety of our fans, artists, crew and venue staff remains our highest priority. Every effort was made to find potential solutions for the show to move forward in Toronto. But unfortunately we were unable to find an alternative venue that could accommodate everyone."
The venue described the storm as "an extraordinary weather event".
"A suspected microburst in the area with extreme winds and heavy rainfall made it a 100-year storm for Toronto," the statement added.
AC/DC are now nearing the end of their 90-show Power Up Tour, which began in Germany on May 17, 2024.
Power Up Tour Nears Its End After Global Run
The tour has travelled across the globe and proved a major commercial success.
In 2024 alone, the tour reportedly grossed $69.3 million and sold 463,218 tickets across just seven shows in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Ireland.
Toronto was scheduled to host the fourth-to-last show of the entire tour. Following the cancellation, the run has now dropped to 89 shows.
AC/DC are next scheduled to perform at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, Canada, on September 20.
The band will then return to the United States to round out the tour, performing at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on September 25. The tour will conclude at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on September 29.
At the band's September 8 show in St. Louis, support act The Pretty Reckless were unable to perform. Rock giants Foo Fighters stepped in at short notice, playing a surprise 10-song opening set for AC/DC.
Foo Fighters are on a stadium tour of their own, but frontman Dave Grohl said he could not pass up the opportunity, describing it as a "huge f—--ing bucket list check".
