AC/DC Rocks London with Thunderstruck Performance, Fans Go Wild
Legendary rock band AC/DC electrified London last night with a powerhouse performance of their iconic hit “Thunderstruck” that sent waves of nostalgia, adrenaline, and pure rock energy through the crowd. The band performed at the iconic Wembley Stadium, a venue that has witnessed decades of musical history—but last night, it thundered in a whole new way.
With over 80,000 fans in attendance, the atmosphere was already electric before the band even hit the stage. As the stadium lights dimmed and the first haunting notes of “Thunderstruck” echoed through the night, the roar from the crowd was deafening. Smoke and pyrotechnics lit up the sky while frontman Brian Johnson, now 77, stormed the stage with the same gravelly power that made him a rock legend.
Guitarist Angus Young, donning his signature schoolboy uniform, proved that age is just a number. With his legendary duckwalk and blistering solos, he led the audience through an unforgettable rendition of the 1990 classic. His energy was unmatched, with fans chanting his name between riffs and solos.
“I’ve seen a lot of concerts in my life, but nothing like this,” said 32-year-old fan Jamie Collins from Manchester. “When they hit the first note of Thunderstruck, the whole place just exploded.”
Fans from across the UK and even beyond flocked to London for what many consider a bucket-list event. Social media platforms were flooded with videos of the performance, many capturing the entire stadium singing along in perfect unison to the iconic “ah-ah-ah-ah” chorus.
The performance wasn’t just a musical spectacle—it was a visual one too. Massive LED screens, fire cannons, and synchronized lighting effects turned “Thunderstruck” into an immersive experience. At one point, lightning visuals flashed across the screens, matching the theme of the song and sending chills through the crowd.
One particularly emotional moment came midway through the performance, when the band paid tribute to late guitarist Malcolm Young, whose rhythm guitar helped define the band’s sound. As his image lit up the screens, the audience cheered and clapped in heartfelt appreciation.
For many fans, the show was more than just a concert—it was a reunion with a part of their youth. “AC/DC is timeless,” said 45-year-old Sarah Hughes from Birmingham. “Hearing ‘Thunderstruck’ live gave me goosebumps. It’s like nothing else matters for those few minutes.”
As the song ended in a shower of sparks and thunderous applause, AC/DC proved once again why they’re still one of the greatest rock bands on the planet. Whether this is one of their final major tours or just another milestone in a decades-spanning journey, one thing is certain: London won’t forget this night anytime soon.
AC/DC came, they played, and they left London utterly thunderstruck.
