The two Rock & Roll Hall of Fame acts joined forces for an unforgettable show in New Jersey. AC/DC and Foo Fighters Deliver Epic Night of Rock ‘n’ Roll at MetLife Stadium: Review, Photos, Video + Setlists Spencer Kaufman
On Friday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, AC/DC and Foo Fighters wowed the crowd with an unforgettable night of rock 'n' roll. The concert was rescheduled due to a nor'easter that hit the area a few days prior, and when The Pretty Reckless couldn't make it to the new date, Foo Fighters stepped in once again, as they had done in St. Louis a few weeks earlier. With the temperature sitting at a balmy 80 degrees in October, a brief rainstorm was the only disruption to the perfect weather conditions.
Dave Grohl, the Foo Fighters frontman, kicked off the night's support set with an impressive nine-song setlist full of hits, shouting out AC/DC multiple times throughout. "When I was 11 years old, I saw 'Let There Be Rock,'" he said, clearly moved by the experience. He then launched into "Monkey Wrench" and "Best of You" before closing the set with "Everlong."
As the video intro played, the crowd eagerly awaited the headliner, AC/DC. From the first notes of "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)," the rock legends commanded the stage for over two hours, delivering iconic songs like "Back in Black," "Thunderstruck," and "Hells Bells." The audience was treated to a surprise when AC/DC welcomed Dave Grohl onstage to sing backup on "Highway to Hell," a moment that would have been unimaginable for 11-year-old Dave Grohl.
AC/DC's main set continued with more legendary hits such as "Dirty Deeds Done Cheap," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Whole Lotta Rosie," and "Let There Be Rock," with Angus Young's unforgettable guitar solo and Brian Johnson's powerful vocals. The night concluded with an epic encore of "T.N.T." and "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)," including cannons and fireworks. Tens of thousands of fans at MetLife Stadium will remember this explosive night of rock 'n' roll for years to come.
