Hold onto your hats, rock fans, because the mighty AC/DC is heading back to where it all began. The legendary hard rock band, formed in Sydney in 1973, is set to electrify audiences across Australia with a series of five homecoming shows this winter. This marks their first return to Aussie stages since their Rock or Bust tour in 2015, and anticipation is skyrocketing.
Kicking off on November 12 in Melbourne at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, the tour will thunder across the continent with stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and concluding in Brisbane on December 14. With at least nine days between most shows, there’s a tantalizing hint that additional dates might be added, keeping fans on their toes.
AC/DC’s current lineup boasts founding lead guitarist Angus Young and the indomitable vocalist Brian Johnson, alongside rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, bassist Chris Chaney, and drummer Matt Laug. Fresh off a rip-roaring 13-date North American tour that wrapped up in Cleveland, the band is set to conquer Europe before turning their amps up to 11 in Australia.
Their most recent album, ‘Power Up’, released in 2020, has only fueled the flames of excitement for these upcoming shows. As fans gear up for this tour, it’s a poignant reminder of AC/DC’s humble beginnings. Their first-ever performance took place on New Year’s Eve 1973 at Sydney’s Chequers club, not long before Journey debuted in San Francisco, marking the start of rock ‘n’ roll legends on opposite sides of the globe.
For those hankering for a dose of pure rock energy, this tour promises to deliver a sonic experience like no other. Get all the details and grab your tickets through AC/DC’s official website before they sell out faster than a lightning bolt.
Mark those calendars, because when AC/DC hits the stage, it’s not just a concert—it’s a powerhouse event that will reverberate through the ages.
