AC/DC Announce Long-Awaited 2025 Australian Stadium Tour

AC/DC are heading home. The legendary rock band have announced a five-date stadium tour of Australia for November and December 2025, marking their first national run since 2015.

The Power Up tour will kick off Nov. 12 at Melbourne Cricket Ground and includes stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, with tickets going on sale via TEG Van Egmond.

The tour follows AC/DC’s massive European and North American legs earlier this year, and continues the band’s celebration of their 2020 studio album Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 117,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. The release became AC/DC’s third No. 1 album in the U.S., joining 2008’s Black Ice and 1981’s For Those About to Rock (We Salute You). It also marked their 26th charting album on the Billboard 200, and 10th top 10 overall.

The album also nabbed No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Billboard 200 and the Official UK Albums Chart.

The Australian shows will feature support from Amyl and the Sniffers, who frontwoman Amy Taylor called the “highlight of my literal life” when announcing the news on social media.

Taylor took to Instagram Stories to share her disbelief and excitement at landing the gig: “AC/DC! The best rock and roll band in the world. I just can’t believe it. I am so excited,” she wrote. “Never ever ever would have dreamed this. Highlight of my literal life like wow can you believe it.”

She also reminisced about the band’s early connection to AC/DC, writing, “Five years ago we covered the same three AC/DC songs on the back of a truck up the Canning Highway for two hours straight. A band’s music that’s been weaved through my wholeeeeee life.”

To mark the full-circle moment, Taylor shared a throwback video of Amyl and the Sniffers performing “Highway to Hell” during Perth Festival in 2021. She ended the post with a final fangirl flourish: “Mainly just excited to see them play multiple times.”

The upcoming dates are being produced by TEG Van Egmond, who previously helmed the band’s record-breaking Black Ice (2009) and Rock or Bust (2015) tours. The band sold over 520,000 tickets across 11 shows on the last Australian run, including stops in Auckland and Wellington.

AC/DC’s current lineup features guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney.

Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist with tracks from all 17 of the band’s studio albums. AC/DC are one of only two bands inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the ARIA Hall of Fame (the Bee Gees being the other), and their legacy as one of the most successful and influential bands in history is cemented.
