Rock-and-roll’s most electrifying institution is back in full stride. AC/DC have officially extended their ongoing Power Up Tour into 2026, announcing a massive 21-date run across South and North America that spans from February to September. Tickets go on public sale Friday, November 7, with certain venues slated for 12 p.m. local time sales due to anticipated demand.
The tour picks up where the legendary Australians left off in 2024-25, reinforcing their place as one of rock’s highest-grossing live acts—they’ve sold over 200 million albums worldwide and their 2020 album Power Up reached No. 1 in 21 countries.
On the announcement, the band lineup—Angus Young (lead guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals), Stevie Young (rhythm guitar), Matt Laug (drums), and Chris Chaney (bass)—made clear their intent: to deliver the full-scale stadium spectacle that defined rock’s greatest arenas.

The impending run arrives after a strong 2025 showing and anticipates a tour cycle that fans hope may stretch even beyond 2026. But for now, the message is clear: many of rock’s biggest stages are about to light up once again—“Back In Black,” loud, proud and unmistakably alive.
