Apr
AC/DC is back and louder than ever.
The legendary Australian rock band is bringing their iconic Power Up Tour to Arlington, Texas, for a massive concert at AT&T Stadium on Monday, April 14, 2025. After nearly a decade since their last North American tour, fans are gearing up for what promises to be a once-in-a-generation night of electrifying rock and roll.
AC/DC PWR UP Tour 2025 Overview
Named after their 2020 chart-topping album Power Up, this tour marks AC/DC’s triumphant return to stadium stages across the U.S. and Canada. The album itself debuted at #1 in 21 countries, including the United States, becoming only their third to top the U.S. charts after For Those About to Rock We Salute You (1981) and Black Ice (2008).
The North American leg kicks off in Minneapolis on April 10 and will conclude in Cleveland on May 28, spanning 13 stadium shows across the continent. Arlington is the only Texas city included — a major coup for the Lone Star State’s rock loyalists.
