AC/DC Announces 2025 North American Tour, ‘Power Up’ to Roaring Return
iconic Australian rockers AC/DC are heading back to North America in 2025 , bringing their electrifying stage show to fans for the first time in nine years.
The 13-date “Power Up” tour kicks off April 10 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at US Bank Stadium, making stops in major cities like Dallas, Las Vegas, Detroit, and Chicago before wrapping up May 28 in Cleveland, Ohio. Fans in Vancouver, Canada, can catch the band on April 22. Tickets go on sale December 6th.
This North American run follows a successful European leg in 2024, which saw the band bring its powerhouse performance to 23 cities across the continent. That tour marked a triumphant return for vocalist Brian Johnson, who rejoined the band after a sudden hearing loss forced him to step away from touring in 2016. Johnson, 77, rejoins original members Angus Young, 69 and Stevie Young, 67 along with formidable bassist Chris Chaney (54) and Drummer Matt Laug (56), making for a powerful lineup.
The triumphant return for the band’s full lineup comes as the band continues to celebrate “Power Up”, their 2020 album, a rocking homage to classic AC/DC energy, met with both critical and commercial success.
