Legendary Rockers AC/DC Announce ‘Power Up’ Stadium Tour, With Only One Canadian Date
Get ready to rock and roll, because AC/DC is hitting the road next spring for a massive stadium tour across North America. The Australian hard rock icons, known for their electrifying live shows and timeless anthems, announced the exciting news this Monday, promising a high-octane experience for fans.
One Canadian Stop on ‘Power Up’ Tour
The tour, dubbed “Power Up,” kicks off in April 2025 with the band making a single stop north of the border. Vancouver, British Columbia, will be the only Canadian city to experience the high-voltage energy of AC/DC live, with a performance slated for BC Place on April 22.
Tickets for the Vancouver show, along with 12 US dates, go on sale December 6 at noon local time. Fans eager to snag their tickets can find more dates and ticketing information on AC/DC’s official website: https://www.acdc.com/tour/.
A Return to North America
The upcoming tour marks AC/DC’s return to North American stadiums for the first time since 2017, following the tragic passing of longtime guitarist Malcolm Young. Malcolm, who had previously stepped back from the band due to health concerns, passed away in 2017, leaving a massive void in the hearts of fans worldwide.
The “Power Up” tour will celebrate the band’s 2020 album of the same name, an album dedicated to Malcolm’s memory and a testament to the enduring power of AC/DC’s music.
The ‘Power Up’ Lineup
Fans can expect to see the current “Power Up” lineup on stage, featuring Angus Young on lead guitar, Brian Johnson delivering those powerful vocals, Stevie Young handling rhythm guitar duties, Matt Laug behind the drumkit, and Chris Chaney on bass.
As for any potential surprises in the form of support acts, AC/DC has kept those details tightly under wraps for now. Stay tuned for further announcements as the tour draws closer.
