Cue the electricity. The rumble. The raw, unyielding riffs that have defined generations of rock 'n' roll rebellion. AC/DC is back, and this time, they’re powering up like never before. After nearly a decade off the road in the United States, the iconic Australian band is set to launch its long-awaited “Power Up” North American Tour, landing at Arlington's AT&T Stadium on April 14, 2025.
For fans in DFW, this isn’t just a concert announcement — it’s a shot of adrenaline, a chance to reclaim the thunder that lead guitarist Angus Young and company have been conjuring since the band’s inception in 1973. The tour promises 13 stops across massive stadiums, each night an anthem-packed ode to rock ‘n’ roll glory.
This is a far cry from the band’s early days playing gigs at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia to a crowd of unruly spectators. This band of scrappy upstarts — Angus and Malcolm Young at the helm—set the stage for a global revolution in sound. Over 50 years later, AC/DC stands as a titan, its name etched into the annals of rock history. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2003, and Back in Black reigning as the bestselling album by any band in history, their legacy is as bulletproof as their power chords.
But it’s never been just about the stats.
AC/DC’s music hits deeper — blues-drenched, raw, and unapologetically loud. Tracks like “Highway to Hell,” “Thunderstruck,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long” are woven into the cultural fabric. And now, with Angus Young (lead guitar), Brian Johnson (vocals), Stevie Young (rhythm guitar), Matt Laug (drums), and Chris Chaney (bass), the band is ready to set the stage ablaze once more.
The Power Up album, released in 2020, was more than a record — it was a statement. A thunderous return after years of uncertainty, the album debuted at #1 in 21 countries, earning Grammy nominations and spots on year-end best-of lists from "Rolling Stone" and "Consequence of Sound." With its relentless hooks and triumphant spirit, Power Up proved that AC/DC’s engine wasn’t just running — it was roaring into the fast lane.
This new tour brings that spirit stateside. Having already conquered European stadiums in 2024, the band is poised to deliver a high-voltage experience for fans old and new.
When the lights dim, and Angus takes the stage in his schoolboy uniform, it won’t just be another rock show. It will be a revival. A reminder that rock ‘n’ roll is still alive, still kicking, still shouting defiance into the void. AC/DC doesn’t just perform — they ignite.
So dust off your devil horns and ready your fists for the air. On April 14, 2025, Arlington won’t know what hit it. And as always, to those about to rock: we salute you.
