Recent International Shows
AC/DC completed a 13-date North American tour on 28 May 2025. That run ended with a full-house performance at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field. The band will start a 15-date European stadium tour on 26 June 2025. That leg ends on 21 August in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Upcoming Tour Gaps Suggest More Dates Possible
The current schedule allows for significant breaks between shows, including a nine-day minimum between most performances. A four-day gap appears between the Adelaide and Perth stops. The timeline suggests that AC/DC could add more dates, though none have been confirmed yet.

AC/DC formed in Sydney in 1973 and played their first gig on New Year’s Eve at Chequers nightclub. That same day, Journey debuted in San Francisco, over 7,000 miles away.
Chart and Industry Recognition
AC/DC’s most recent album, Power Up, released in 2020, topped the ARIA Albums Chart. It also led the Billboard 200 and the Official UK Albums Chart. It marked their sixth No.1 album in Australia.
The band have released 17 studio albums since formation. They were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1988. In 2003, they entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Only the Bee Gees share induction into both halls.
