AC/DC’s concert scheduled for Friday, September 25, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, was postponed due to severe weather conditions brought on by an incoming inclement weather, as per Blabbermouth. The band and stadium officials announced the decision across social media shortly before 3:00 PM on Friday, just two and a half hours prior to the scheduled 5:30 PM gate opening. The performance has been officially rescheduled for October 2, with all original tickets set to be honored for the new date and further instructions sent directly to ticket holders via email.
The postponement comes as local and state authorities cancel public events throughout the region in anticipation of heavy rainfall, high winds, and significant coastal flooding expected to last through Sunday.

AC/DC‘s Power Up tour, which began in May 2024, has been much simpler than their Rock or Bust tour of 2015–16. They have stated that the event in Philadelphia on September 29 will mark the end of this tour, but they have made no mention of their future intentions.
Formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), AC/DC is an iconic Australian band known for its signature high-energy sound. Though critics often label their music as hard rock, blues rock, or heavy metal, the band has always simply considered it “rock and roll.” The group served as a major influence on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—inspiring acts like Def Leppard and Saxon—and was widely viewed by critics as part of the new wave of stars taking over as classic rock pioneers stepped back. The original lineup featured drummer Colin Burgess, bassist Larry Van Kriedt, and vocalist Dave Evans, undergoing multiple roster shifts prior to the release of their 1975 debut album, “High Voltage”, initially issued only in Australasia.
