Acting Premier Curtis Pitt said after eight weeks of an online survey, the results were clear.

"Almost 4,300 people completed the Queensland government online survey and more than 83 per cent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that Suncorp Stadium should be allowed to stage more than four concerts each year," Mr Pitt said.

"By working together with the local community we can deliver six events each year and more opportunities for local tourism and local businesses which support these major events."

Mr Pitt said 73 per cent of local residents from Milton, Paddington, Toowong, Mount Coot-tha, Auchenflower, Bardon and the Brisbane City areas voted for more concerts as part community consultations.

This year Suncorp Stadium has already hosted boy band One Direction and rockers the Foo Fighters, and with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift coming up, has reached its yearly limit.

Minister for Sport and Racing Bill Byrne said it was the first time the cap had been reached since it was imposed in 2006.

"Effectively we had to turn away AC/DC because of the cap and like a lot of AC/DC fans, I was very disappointed."

AC/DC will now play two shows at the Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre at Nathan in November.

The new concert cap will begin from 2016, and Mr Byrne said the government would work with local residents and businesses to ensure the new rule was imposed with minimal disruption.
