Watch Dave Grohl join AC/DC for ‘Highway To Hell’ at final ‘Power Up’ tour show

The Aussie rock legends played New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on Friday night (October 2), with Foo Fighters serving as support after the show was rescheduled from September 25 due to severe weather.

No meio do set de AC/DC, Brian Johnson revelou que Grohl havia pedido para se juntar à banda para o clássico de 1979.

Grohl então apareceu com uma guitarra para tocar a faixa ao lado de Johnson, Angus Young e co. Assista à filmagem abaixo.

The collaboration came after Grohl used Foo Fighters’ own opening set to explain just how important AC/DC had been to him as a child.

Grohl continuou: “Eu vi esse filme, eu tinha 11 anos, eu disse, ‘Quero fazer isso pelo resto da minha foda de vida.’ Então aqui estamos… Vou viver meu sonho de infância novamente, hoje à noite.”.

Friday’s concert was the second time in less than a month that the Foos had opened for AC/DC. They stepped in for The Pretty Reckless in St. Louis on September 8, despite the booking initially being billed as a “one night only” appearance.

Ahead of that first show, Grohl described sharing a bill with AC/DC as “literally a dream come true”, recalling how seeing Let There Be Rock in 1980 had set the standard for his own approach to live performance.

After Foo Fighters’ St. Louis set, he joked: “I don’t know if we’ll ever open for AC/DC again, although honestly I think it’d be a great fucking tour.”.

The MetLife Stadium date ultimately became the final show of AC/DC’s two-year ‘Power Up’ tour, which began in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in May 2024 and was launched in support of the band’s 2020 album ‘Power Up’.

AC/DC não anunciou o que vem a seguir, embora Johnson tenha deixado a possibilidade de outro retorno aberta enquanto o show chegava ao fim.

Foo Fighters, meanwhile, released their 12th album ‘Your Favorite Toy’ in April.

Their recent North American ‘Take Cover’ tour has included dates with Queens Of The Stone Age, while they also played two huge shows at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium in June.

Na avaliação de quatro estrelas do NME sobre a primeira apresentação em Liverpool, Andrew Trendell escreveu: “Foals não têm os sinos, apitos, pirotecnia ou efeitos especiais de blockbuster de outros artistas padrão de estádio, apenas músicas e conversas.”.
