Foo Fighters will replace The Pretty Reckless for Sept. 8 show at St. Louis’ The Dome, Billboard reports
The switch at The Dome at America’s Center comes as Foo Fighters step in to fill the slot for AC/DC’s St. Louis date.
Foo Fighters are scheduled to appear at AC/DC’s Sept. 8 concert in St. Louis after the band was tapped to fill in for The Pretty Reckless, Billboard reported. The show is set for The Dome at America’s Center, according to the report published Tuesday.
Billboard said the change was made so the Sept. 8 lineup would be completed as planned for the St. Louis date. The outlet cited comments from Foo Fighters and framed the opportunity as a long-sought collaboration, including the quoted line, “This is literally a dream come true.”
The report positions Foo Fighters as an on-the-night solution for the scheduled appearance by The Pretty Reckless, with the St. Louis venue hosting the updated bill for the AC/DC event on Sept. 8. Ticketing details, ticket transfers, or refund policy were not included in the information provided.
The substitution also highlights the operational realities of major arena touring, where headlining acts and supporting artists must be coordinated around complex logistics at large-capacity venues. For fans planning attendance, the lineup change could affect expectations tied to supporting acts, though the underlying AC/DC date and venue remain the same in the report.
For Foo Fighters, the appearance marks another high-profile arena outing timed to the fall concert season, while the update ensures the Sept. 8 show maintains a full roster of acts for audiences at The Dome at America’s Center. The Pretty Reckless did not appear in the provided material after the switch was announced, and no reason for the change was described in the supplied reporting.
Billboard’s report does not provide additional detail in the supplied packet about how the schedule was adjusted, whether an alternate set time was issued, or whether on-site entry rules would change. As with other lineup changes, the practical next step for attendees would be to check the concert’s official event information closer to the date for any timing or admission updates.
The Sept. 8 show remains the central reference point for the updated lineup, with Foo Fighters stepping in at the St. Louis venue while The Pretty Reckless does not appear as part of the billed acts for that specific date in the report provided.
