Dave Grohl Breaks Down After Joining AC/DC Onstage

Oct. 2 at MetLife closed AC/DC’s Power Up tour, fulfilling a lifelong, full‑circle moment for Grohl.

Overview

  • On Oct. 2 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Dave Grohl joined AC/DC to perform "Highway to Hell" and says he walked off stage and broke down in tears.
  • AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson brought Grohl out during the band’s headline set after Foo Fighters had been confirmed to join that rescheduled MetLife date following a severe weather cancellation.
  • Grohl told New Zealand radio station The Rock that the appearance felt like a full‑circle moment tied to his childhood viewing of AC/DC’s Let There Be Rock film.
  • He described the MetLife stage as the loudest he has ever stood on and called AC/DC the loudest band he’s played with.
  • The Oct. 2 show served as the final stop on AC/DC’s two‑year Power Up tour and the band has not announced concrete next steps while Foo Fighters continue their own tour schedule.
