Morumbi to host AC/DC in Feb 2026, clashes with pre-Libertadores | OneFootball

São Paulo has already scheduled its first show at Morumbi Stadium for the year 2026. It was announced this Monday (3rd) that the Australian heavy metal band AC/DC will perform on February 24th.

The legendary rock band will bring its POWER UP TOUR 2026 to São Paulo, with The Pretty Reckless as the special guest. Tickets go on sale starting this Friday (7th), at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) through Ticketmaster. This will be the first time in 17 years that AC/DC performs in Brazil since the historic Black Ice tour in 2009, when they packed Morumbi Stadium.

The huge number of shows that the club negotiated with Live Nation for the end of 2025 has forced the team out of Morumbi for the rest of the season. There are still four São Paulo home games, which will be played at Vila Belmiro.

The topic is controversial. Fans have complained a lot about being without their home stadium during the decisive rounds of the Brasileirão, where the team is still fighting for a spot in the next edition of the Copa Libertadores.

And if they secure qualification, Tricolor could face a scheduling conflict between matches and the newly announced AC/DC show. The second phase of the 2026 Libertadores, still a qualifying stage for the group phase, is scheduled for February 18th and 25th. And the concert will be on the 24th.

It is in this ‘pre-Libertadores’ stage that São Paulo has its chances to enter, taking one of the last two spots through the Brasileirão. Today, the 6th and 7th placed teams would go to this phase, but the qualifying zone could extend to the G8.

There could therefore be a scheduling conflict, since there is also the possibility of more show dates for the Australian band at Morumbi.

At the end of October, president Julio Casares tried to justify Morumbi’s absence as São Paulo’s home for the next matches in this Brazilian Championship, since the stadium will be occupied for a series of concerts at the end of the year. He assured that the club’s priority is and always will be football.
