More than half a century after first taking the stage, AC/DC is preparing to embark on a 13-date stadium tour in the US and Canada.
The group formally announced the North American leg of its Power Up Tour today, after wrapping a European series in Dublin in August.
Scheduled to kick off in Minneapolis on April 10th, 2025 – 10 days following Angus Young's 70th birthday – the newer of the legs is expected to see AC/DC visit Arlington (April 14th) and Pasadena (April 18th) before heading north to Vancouver ( April 22nd) for a lone stop in Canada.
After that, the Rock Hall of Fame-inducted act intends to return to the US, closing out April in Las Vegas (26th) and Detroit (30th).
From there, the rest of the currently booked shows in support of 2020's Power Up will take place in May: Foxborough on the 4th, Pittsburgh on the 8th, Landover on the 12th, Tampa on the 16th, Nashville on the 20th, Chicago on the 24th, and Cleveland on the 28th.
On the attendance front, the band's held a general onsale for noon local time this coming Friday, December 6th. In contrast to so many other commercially prominent artists, AC/DC has not disclosed plans to offer presale passes.
Despite the risk of igniting another ticketing-world confrontation – one such dispute boiled over back in October – it's worth noting that the relevant AC/DC tickets were already available to buy on two (and possibly more) prominent resale platforms at the time of writing.
In any event, it's safe to say that even several decades later, legacy rock acts still boast sizable fanbases. Last week, for instance, the Eagles added more dates yet to theirs Sphere residencywhich will now run into at least mid-April.
During their company's latest earnings callSphere execs underlined plans to bring more “great bands” to the venue in the new year – signaling as well that multiple acts are looking to stage events in 2025.
Furthermore, even legacy artists who aren't up for a rigorous touring schedule are getting in on the live-income action. A KISS avatar band is in the works, although the virtual group won't take the stage until 2027, per organizers. And financial statements suggest that ABBA Voyage has proven lucrativeto the tune of almost $140 million in 2023 revenue.
