AC/DC’s ‘POWER UP’ tour returns to Australia, see dates, venues & ticket info

Legendary rock band AC/DC has officially announced their return to Australia. A massive stadium tour is set for November and December 2025, marking their first Australian shows in a decade. Named “POWER UP,” this highly anticipated Australian tour kicks off on Wednesday, November 12 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and will include stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane.

The tour will wrap up on Sunday, December 14, at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Tickets and VIP packages for the tour go on sale Thursday, June 26 at 1 pm AEST via Ticketek (for Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane shows) and Ticketmaster (for Adelaide).

The POWER UP tour, named after their 2020 chart-topping album, began in Europe in 2024 and has already sold more than 2 million tickets across 24 shows.


It then travelled through North America, where AC/DC played 10 sold-out shows, before heading back to Europe for 15 additional stadium dates. The Australian leg will conclude the tour in fitting style, a homecoming for one of the country’s most iconic exports.

Amyl and the Sniffers will join AC/DC as special guests at all shows. The rising Aussie punk rock band recently featured on the cover of Rolling Stone AU/NZ and will open for the legendary rockers throughout the Australian leg.

The tour marks AC/DC’s first shows in Australia since 2015, when the band’s Rock or Bust tour sold more than 520,000 tickets across 11 dates, including two in New Zealand. Before that, their 2009 Black Ice tour smashed records by shifting 750,000 tickets, including 650,000 in Australia alone.

Produced by TEG, the tour continues the legacy of AC/DC’s long-time touring partner, the Van Egmond Group, now part of TEG after a 2020 acquisition. The company, now led by Christo Van Egmond, has staged many of the band’s most successful Australasian shows over the years.

Fans can expect to hear a career-spanning setlist, including timeless hits from AC/DC’s 17 studio albums, and cuts from Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, as well as topping the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart.

Formed in Sydney in 1973, AC/DC have become global rock icons and are one of only two bands inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2003) and the ARIA Hall of Fame (1988), the other being the Bee Gees.
