AC/DC will be thrashing out their best hits at Accor Stadium for their Aussie tour – the first in over a decade. The POWER UP Tour will kick off in Sydney in late November, followed by gigs in the Capital cities of Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney will perform with special guests, Australian rock band Amyl & The Sniffers and Sydney’s own Large Mirage.
The POWER UP Tour promises a night of loud, unrelenting rock and roll as the “world’s greatest rock’n’roll band” returns to Australia for the first time in ten years.
The POWER UP tour began in Europe in 2024 and saw a staggering two million tickets sold across 24 shows. It then took over North America with ten sold-out shows – and then returned to Europe for an extra 15 shows. AC/DC make their long-awaited return to Australian shores.
