The highly anticipated Power Up stadium tour by AC/DC has just become even more exciting with the announcement of a second and final show in Perth on December 8. This addition comes in response to the overwhelming demand for tickets for their previously scheduled concert date, showcasing the band’s enduring popularity and the excitement surrounding their return to the stage.
The iconic Australian rock band will take the stage at Optus Stadium, marking a significant moment in their tour. The response from fans has been nothing short of remarkable, leading to the scheduling of a second performance in Perth following a flurry of ticket sales. This event is sure to be a highlight for rock music enthusiasts eager to witness AC/DC’s legendary live performance.
This newly announced concert wraps up the West Coast leg of their comprehensive 2025 Australian tour, which now boasts a total of nine stadium shows nationwide. Since tickets became available on June 26, demand has surged, prompting the addition of extra shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and now, Perth. Fans are eagerly seizing the opportunity to experience the electrifying energy that AC/DC consistently delivers during their live performances.
The Power Up tour, produced by TEG Van Egmond, signifies a monumental occasion as it marks AC/DC’s first nationwide tour in nearly a decade. This comes on the heels of their critically acclaimed ARIA No. 1 album, Power Up, which was released in 2020 and achieved significant commercial success, becoming their sixth No. 1 album on the ARIA Albums Chart. The anticipation surrounding the tour has been palpable, reflecting the band’s lasting impact on the rock music scene.
On this exciting tour, AC/DC will be joined by the electrifying band Amyl and the Sniffers, who are known for their dynamic punk rock performances. As ARIA and Rolling Stone Australia Award winners, they bring an exhilarating energy to the stage as special guests, promising to enhance the overall concert experience for fans attending the shows.
Tickets for the highly anticipated final Perth show will be available through Ticketek, the official ticketing partner for all Australian dates, with the exception of Adelaide. The additional concert at Optus Stadium is expected to attract another massive audience, contributing to what is shaping up to be one of the most sought-after rock tours in recent history, underscoring the immense popularity of AC/DC.
Following the release of tickets on June 26, Ticketek reported a staggering 370,000 tickets sold across all events hosted on its platform, setting a new all-time daily sales record for the company. Out of this impressive figure, over 320,000 tickets were specifically for AC/DC’s Power Up tour, making it the most successful concert on-sale day in the 40-plus year history of Ticketek, illustrating the band’s immense draw.
This remarkable figure not only surpasses the band’s previous record set during their 2009 Black Ice tour but also drove the majority of traffic on the ticketing platform that day. The remaining approximately 50,000 tickets were allocated for other events, such as Lightscape, NRL matches, AFL fixtures, and major theatre productions. This achievement highlights AC/DC’s strong connection with fans and their continued relevance in the music industry.
AC/DC last toured Australia and New Zealand in 2015 as part of their Rock or Bust tour, during which they sold over 520,000 tickets across 11 shows, including performances in Auckland and Wellington. Their return to Australia is highly anticipated and is expected to rekindle the fervor of live rock music lovers across the region.
Tickets for this much-anticipated tour are currently available for purchase through Ticketek (with the exception of Adelaide, which can be accessed via Ticketmaster). Due to the high demand and limited availability, fans are encouraged to secure their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
