The thunder has returned! Legendary rock band AC/DC has officially announced their long-awaited “Power Up” World Tour, set to electrify stages across North America, Europe, and Australia in 2025. In what promises to be one of the most explosive tours in rock history, the band is hitting the road in support of their chart-topping album Power Up, released in 2020. For fans around the globe, this is more than just a tour — it’s a celebration of resilience, legacy, and pure rock ‘n’ roll power.
⚡ The Tour We’ve Been Waiting For
After months of speculation, AC/DC confirmed the tour during a special livestream press event broadcast from their hometown of Melbourne, where frontman Brian Johnson, lead guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, bassist Chris Chaney, and drummer Matt Laug stood united against a fiery stage backdrop, their iconic lightning bolt logo glowing behind them.
“We’re ready to plug back in,” Angus Young said, grinning beneath his signature schoolboy cap. “It’s time to bring the power back to the people.”
And bring it they will. The Power Up tour will include over 40 stadium and arena shows, kicking off in North America in April, continuing through Europe in summer, and concluding with a triumphant Australian homecoming leg in November and December.

A Legacy Reinforced
AC/DC’s Power Up album debuted at No. 1 in over 20 countries and marked a triumphant return for the band following the deaths of rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young and longtime drummer Phil Rudd’s legal troubles. With Johnson back after overcoming hearing issues, and Angus leading the charge, the Power Up tour is not just a victory lap — it’s a rebirth.
“This band has always been about grit, volume, and brotherhood,” Brian Johnson said. “We’re playing for the fans, for Malcolm, for rock itself.”

“Just bought front row tickets to the Chicago show. Can’t believe I’ll see Angus live again,” tweeted one ecstatic fan. Another posted, “If this is their last global tour, then I’m going to every leg. AC/DC forever!”
