Louis as part of their ‘Power Up’ world tour .

For all of the previous shows – including the 2025 UK and European shows – the rock icons have been supported by The Pretty Reckless .

Now, it has been confirmed that The Pretty Reckless will not be able to play for the Missouri gig and Foo Fighters have been enlisted to take on the slot instead.

The last-minute announcement marks a rare support slot for Dave Grohl and co., and comes as the rock giants are currently out on a stadium tour of their own celebrating latest album ‘ Your Favorite Toy ’.

“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,” read a new announcement on AC/DC’s social media channels.

“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.” View this post on Instagram In their own post, Foo Fighters shared the news with fans, and Grohl explained how being asked to join Brian Johnson and co. on their tour is a “dream come true” for him as he was inspired by the band after watching their 1980 concert film Let There Be Rock as a child.

Describing it as the moment that “that truly introduced me to the raw, primal power of rock and roll performance for the first time”, Grohl shared that seeing the movie when he was 11-years-old left him “watching from the edge of my seat the entire time”.

“It was like nothing I had ever experienced before,” he wrote.

“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.
