AC/DC announces 2025 "Power Up" North American tour with Brian Johnson’s return

AC/DC has announced the dates for its 2025 “Power Up” North American tour, marking the band's first tour on the continent since 2016. This tour will also be significant for lead singer Brian Johnson, who will return to the stage after his hearing loss forced him to step down during the 2016 tour. For that tour, Guns N' Roses’ Axl Rose had temporarily filled in for Johnson.

The 13-date tour will kick off on April 10, 2025, at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and will conclude on May 28, 2025, at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland. Some of the major stops include the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on April 18 and Soldier Field in Chicago on May 24. The tour is named after AC/DC’s 2020 album, “Power Up.”

Tickets for the much-anticipated tour will go on sale December 6, 2024, at 12 p.m. local time. The band’s lineup for the tour will feature Angus Young on lead guitar, Brian Johnson as the vocalist, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.

AC/DC, known for their legendary influence in rock music, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Fans across North America are excited to experience the iconic band live once again after nearly a decade-long hiatus from touring the region.

The full list of tour dates includes cities such as Arlington, Vancouver, Las Vegas, Detroit, Foxborough, Pittsburgh, Landover, Tampa, Nashville, Chicago, and Cleveland, promising an unforgettable experience for rock fans across the continent.
