AC/DC will hit the stage with special guests Amyl & The Sniffers, alongside a powerhouse local rock act in each city: The Casanovas (Melbourne), Large Mirage (Sydney), Oscar the Wild (Adelaide), Southern River Band (Perth), and Headsend (Brisbane). Each night promises an electrifying lineup, unleashing a relentless wave of heart-pounding rock from start to finish.
Promoter Christo Van Egmond of TEG Van Egmond said: “AC/DC is back on home soil with the POWER UP Tour, and Australia is in for an unforgettable experience. After 10 years, the band is finally returning, and fans can expect nothing less than full-on, high-voltage rock and roll — this tour is going to absolutely rock!”
AC/DC played their very first show on the 31st December 1973 at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia. They are one of the most influential rock bands in history, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide. The band’s Back In Black LP is the “bestselling album by any band ever” and the “thirdbestselling album by any artist” with global sales of 50 million and counting. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 2003. The band continues selling out stadiums on multiple continents, sell millions of albums annually and generate streams in the billions.
To continue their reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, AC/DC—Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney—is back to play to their legion of dedicated fans around Australia, which grows with every passing year.
Australia, it’s our turn to witness the greatest rock band in the world this November and December!

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
