It has been revealed that Foo Fighters will step in to support AC/DC for one night only!!
The bands frontman Dave Grohl announced the news saying it was a "dream come true."
The Pretty Reckless were previously announced as the supporting act for AC/DC's 'Their Power' world tour. It has recently been confirmed that the band will be unable to attend the Missouri stop on the tour so Foo Fighters will be taking their place for the night.
This marks a rare support slot for the band whilst they are currently on their own tour for their most recent album 'Your Favourite Toy'.
AC/DC announced the news on their official Instagram account. They said: “Foo Fighters are taking a special one-off detour from their ‘Take Cover’ global stadium tour to fill in for their friends The Pretty Reckless as special guests of AC/DC for one night only in St. Louis. The performance brings two generations of rocks’ biggest live acts together for a one-night-only event, with the Foo Fighters opening for the band’s St. Louis tour stop.”
Grohl revealed how much the upcoming gig means to him in a recent Instagram post on the Foo Fights official account.
The band's frontman said that it was AC/DC’s 1980 concert film 'Let There Be Rock' that introduced him to the "raw, primal power of rock and roll performance for the first time."
“It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. How could five human beings conjure and possess such intensity on stage with just their instruments, and do so with such swagger, such groove… and such danger? My mind was blown. Melted. Changed forever. And my heart felt like it might explode with passion and inspiration," Grohl wrote.
“From that night on, the bar was set exceptionally high. If you were a drummer and you didn’t have to change your snare drum between songs from pummeling it to splinters, you weren’t hitting it hard enough… If you were a frontman in a band and you weren’t drenched in sweat by the end of the show, you weren’t giving the audience what they deserve," he continued.
Grohl concluded the message by saying that the upcoming gig is "literally a dream come true. So, if you want blood… you’ve got it. Let there be fucking rock, St Louis.”
After Foo Fighters' supporting performance, they will then continue their tour in North Dakota, California, Kentucky, Nevada and more throughout September and October before embarking on the Australian leg of their tour.
