Australia eagerly requested more electrifying performances from AC/DC, and the iconic rock band has certainly answered the call.
Just hours after tickets were made available on Thursday, June 26, for the legendary band’s highly anticipated 2025 stadium tour, promoter TEG Van Egmond announced additional dates in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane due to an overwhelming surge in demand from devoted fans.
The newly added performances are scheduled for Sunday, November 16, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Tuesday, November 25, at Accor Stadium in Sydney, and Thursday, December 18, at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Each of these shows is being promoted as the final performance in that particular city, further heightening excitement among fans.
The Power Up Tour now features an exciting lineup of eight dates, commencing on November 12 in Melbourne and concluding on December 18 in Brisbane. This marks AC/DC’s first comprehensive national tour of Australia in almost a decade. The band will perform across all five major cities, including Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane. They will be joined by the renowned Australian punk band Amyl and the Sniffers, adding to the tour’s excitement and diversity.
The tour is a celebration of AC/DC’s 2020 album, Power Up, which achieved remarkable success by debuting at number one in Australia and on both sides of the Atlantic. This release solidified the band’s significant position in Australian music history, marking their sixth number one album, a record they share with the Hilltop Hoods. Power Up follows a string of successful albums, including the classic Back In Black (1981), Live (1992), Ballbreaker (1995), Black Ice (2008), and Rock or Bust (2014), showcasing the band’s enduring legacy.
Globally, the Power Up era has proven to be incredibly lucrative, with the band selling over 2 million tickets during 24 shows across Europe in 2023. Recently, they completed a sold-out ten-date tour in North America, and are set to embark on a 15-show tour throughout Europe this week, before returning to Australia for the summer leg of their tour.
It has been a decade since AC/DC last performed in Australia. Their 2015 Rock or Bust tour saw an impressive sale of over 520,000 tickets across eleven performances, including shows in Auckland and Wellington, demonstrating the band’s massive appeal and loyal fan base.
Produced by TEG Van Egmond, the upcoming 2025 tour is poised to be one of the most highly anticipated rock events in Australia in recent history. The announcement of additional second and final shows in three major cities reinforces the band’s lasting legacy and the unwavering demand from fans eager to experience their electrifying live performances.
