Live Nation announced the cancellation of the AC/DC concert scheduled for September 9, 2026 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto after a recent storm caused damage that rendered the venue unsafe for the performance.
The storm inflicted structural concerns at the stadium, prompting Live Nation to commission an engineering assessment. The resulting report was submitted to the City of Toronto, confirming that the damage compromised the safety of the facility for large‑scale events.
Following the engineering findings, Live Nation made the decision to cancel the show rather than proceed under conditions that could jeopardize attendees, staff, or performers. The cancellation affects both the band and ticket holders, though no further details on refunds or rescheduling have been released.
City officials were informed of the engineering report and the consequent cancellation. While the report outlines the specific nature of the storm‑related damage, the city has not disclosed the timeline for repairs or when Rogers Stadium might be cleared for future concerts.
The decision underscores the impact severe weather can have on large venues and the responsibilities of promoters to ensure public safety. Live Nation, AC/DC, and the City of Toronto are expected to coordinate next steps regarding venue restoration and any potential alternative arrangements for the concert.
Fans who had planned to attend the event are advised to monitor official communications from Live Nation and the band for updates. The cancellation marks a notable disruption in Toronto’s summer concert schedule, highlighting the challenges faced by the city’s entertainment industry in the wake of unpredictable weather events.
