Four days out from the historic first day-night cricket Test, the Adelaide Oval pitch has only been in place for hours and some 800 square metres of outfield is being replaced.

But stadium hierarchy say the after-affects of Saturday night's AC/DC concert at Adelaide Oval won't impact on the third Test between Australia and New Zealand starting Friday.

Almost 53,000 rock fans packed the stadium on Saturday night for the concert, many standing on the oval where cricket's inaugural day-night Test will be played.

And while the oval resembled a work site on Monday as staff relaid turf, the oval's manager - the Stadium Management Authority (SMA) - declared preparations for the Test were going to plan.

"We are delighted with how it has pulled up after the AC/DC concert," SMA general manager of operations Darren Chandler said on Monday.

"The guys have been working pretty much since as soon as the concert finished and the turf, as expected, has pulled up really well."

Chandler said oval curator Damian Hough oversaw the drop-in of pitches to be used in the Test, the first to be played with pink balls.

"Those pitches went in last night and Damian is really happy with that process," Chandler said.

"No doubt there will be a fair bit of speculation about that (pitch) in the next few days but Damian has done a great job and we would anticipate that Adelaide Oval will produce another great Test wicket."

Groundstaff were replacing 800 square metres of outfield, mainly at the northern end where the AC/DC stage was situated.

Protective plastic was put over the turf during the concert, with temporary aluminium roadways in place to allow crane access to erect, and then dismantle, the AC/DC stage.

"The stadium is designed as a multi-purpose facility and the technology that sits under the turf is the best in the world," Chandler said.

"We have got absolute confidence that the safety of the players will be no different to normal."
