🌆 Vancouver’s Deep Roots with AC/DC
Vancouver isn’t just another stop — it’s a home away from home for AC/DC. Over the decades, the city has shaped their sound and hosted some of their most iconic sessions:
- 2020’s Power Up was recorded at Bryan Adams’ Warehouse Studio, engineered by B.C.’s Mike Fraser
- 2008’s Black Ice was also laid down in Vancouver’s Gastown
- 1990’s The Razor’s Edge? That came to life at Little Mountain Sound Studios
“There’s electricity in this city – and we don’t just mean in the guitars.”
This concert is a homecoming that fans and the band won’t forget.
