After speculation ran rampant last week, Australian rock royalty AC/DC have confirmed their extremely anticipated Australian 2025 tour, set to electrify stages this November and December with special guests Amyl and The Sniffers.

Marking the first tour since 2015 for Acca Dacca, the 2025 Australian dates will perform at stadiums around the country as part of the band's POWER UP! Tour.

Fair warning, AC/DC sold 1.7 million tickets in the first few days of their European leg of the POWER UP! Tour, so definitely get your skates on if you wanna snag your chance to worship with the rock'n'roll greats later this year. But in true AC/DC fashion, ticketing for the Oz shows will once again be a fan-focused affair. No pre-sales, equal chances to get your hands on tix and reasonable ticket prices across the board.

Joining AC/DC as special guests on the tour is Australian rock band Amyl and the Sniffers. The tour shares its name with ACaDC’s 2020 album, POWER UP, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Chart in Australia and 20 other countries around the globe. POWER UP notably notched the band’s third #1 debut on the Billboard 200 and exploded as one of the best-selling albums of 2020 worldwide. It closed out the year on Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Albums of 2020” & Consequence of Sound’s “Top 50 Albums of 2020.” Plus, it garnered GRAMMY® Award nominations in the categories of “Best Rock Album”, “Best Rock Performance”, and “Best Music Video” for “Shot In The Dark.” POWER UP is available HERE.

In 2024, the POWER UP Tour kicked off in Europe with a staggering 1.7 million tickets sold in the first days of sales, eventually surpassing 2 million tickets sold across 24 shows. The band just concluded 10 sold-out shows in North America and has 15 additional shows scheduled across Europe before returning to Australia.

AC/DC played their very first show on the 31st December 1973 at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia. They are one of the most influential rock bands in history, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide. The band’s Back In Black LP is the “bestselling album by any band ever” and the “third bestselling album by any artist” with global sales of 50 million and counting. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 2003. The band continue selling out stadiums on multiple continents, sell millions of albums annually and generate streams in the billions. To continue their reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, AC/DC—Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney—is back to play to their legion of dedicated fans around Australia, which grows with every passing year.
