St. Louis rock fans just scored one of the biggest upgrades of the year. On September 8, 2026, Foo Fighters will open for AC/DC at The Dome at America’s Center for one night only, stepping in for The Pretty Reckless.
The announcement turns an already stacked PWR/UP Tour stop into a rare double bill of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame acts. Dave Grohl and company are taking a one-off detour from their own Take Cover stadium tour to share the stage with the band that shaped his entire approach to live performance.
“Let There Be F***ing Rock, St. Louis”
In a lengthy statement, Grohl explained just how personal the night is for him:
“I remember it like it was yesterday… It was AC/DC’s 1980 concert film ‘Let There Be Rock’ that truly introduced me to the raw, primal power of rock and roll performance for the first time… All I have ever wanted was to someday live up to the awe inspiring fury of AC/DC, live onstage (an impossible task, by the way). And now, for the first time since that fateful night in 1980, my band Foo Fighters will share a stage with the gentlemen who are single handedly responsible for my determination to give every audience everything I have, every night. This is literally a dream come true. So…..if you want blood….you’ve got it. Let there be fucking rock, St Louis. See you September 8th.”
The Pretty Reckless have been the primary support act on AC/DC’s current North American stadium run. No official reason has been given for their absence on the St. Louis date.

FAQ
Why aren’t The Pretty Reckless playing St. Louis? No official explanation has been released. Foo Fighters are filling the special-guest slot for this one date only.
Are Foo Fighters playing a full set? They are listed as special guests/openers. Expect a proper support set rather than a short guest appearance, given the scale of both bands.
Is this part of Foo Fighters’ Take Cover Tour? No. It’s a one-night detour between legs of their own stadium run.
Will tickets sell out? Demand spiked after the Foo Fighters announcement. Good seats are still available at the time of writing, but inventory for desirable sections is moving.
What’s the best way to get there? Driving with pre-arranged parking or using nearby MetroLink (Convention Center stop) are the most practical options for most fans.
