Sometimes, you really can go home again.
For the first time in nearly a decade, AC/DC is heading back to their homeland of Australia — and they’re bringing the thunder. The legendary rockers have announced five stadium shows across the country this winter, kicking off Nov. 12 at Melbourne Cricket Ground and wrapping (for now) on Dec. 14 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium.
There’s plenty of breathing room between shows — nine days or more between each stop, except for a tighter four-day window between Adelaide and Perth — leaving fans and insiders wondering: Could more dates be on the horizon?
Formed in Sydney in 1973, AC/DC played their very first gig at a club called Chequers on New Year’s Eve. Fun fact: That same night, 7,400 miles away, Journey played their debut show in San Francisco. Call it rock ‘n’ roll synchronicity.
This run marks AC/DC’s first time touring Down Under since 2015’s Rock or Bust tour lit up arenas across Australia and New Zealand. Since then, they’ve stayed busy — wrapping a 13-date North American trek in Cleveland on May 28, and gearing up for a 15-date European tour starting June 26 and ending Aug. 21 in Edinburgh.
The current touring lineup features founding lead guitarist Angus Young, powerhouse vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, bassist Chris Chaney, and drummer Matt Laug. Their most recent studio album, Power Up, was released in 2020 and continues to energize longtime fans and new generations alike.
Tickets and details are available at AC/DC’s official website.
