AC/DC Plug In Extra Stadium Dates for Australia's Power-Hungry Fans
Australia asked for more AC/DC, and they delivered. Just hours after tickets went on sale Thursday (June 26) for the legendary rock band's 2025 stadium tour, promoter TEG Van Egmond has announced second dates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane due to overwhelming demand. More from Billboard Luis Cortés, Angelina Victoria, Maeso & More Emerging Latin Artists on Our Radar Selena Gomez Says Ice Cube Was Her Childhood Celebrity Crush: 'I Just Thought He Would Protect Me' Barbra Streisand Says 'They'd Have to Pay Me A Lot of Money' to Return to 'Meet the Parents' Franchise The newly added shows will take place on Sunday, Nov. 16 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Tuesday, Nov. 25 at Accor Stadium in Sydney, and Thursday, Dec. 18 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. Each is being billed as the final date for that city. The Power Up Tour now spans eight dates, kicking off Nov. 12 in Melbourne and wrapping Dec. 18 in Brisbane, marking AC/DC's first full national tour of Australia in nearly a decade. The band will play shows in each of the country's five major cities — Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane — with support from Australian punk outfit Amyl and the Sniffers. The tour is in support of AC/DC's 2020 album Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 in Australia and both sides of the Atlantic. The release cemented the band's place in Australian chart history, becoming their sixth No. 1 album — the most of any Australian group, tied with Hilltop Hoods. Power Up followed their streak of chart-toppers including Back In Black (1981), Live (1992), Ballbreaker (1995), Black Ice (2008), and Rock or Bust (2014). Internationally, the Power Up era has been box-office gold. In 2023, the band sold over 2 million tickets across 24 European shows. They recently wrapped a 10-date sold-out run in North America, and are about to begin a 15-show tour across Europe this week before bringing the show home to Australia for the summer leg. It's been 10 years since AC/DC's last visit to Australian shores. The band's 2015 Rock or Bust tour saw over 520,000 tickets sold across 11 dates, including shows in Auckland and Wellington. Produced by TEG Van Egmond, the 2025 tour is one of the most anticipated Australian rock events in recent memory. The addition of second and final shows in three major cities cements the band's enduring legacy — and the unshakable demand to see them live. AC/DC 2025 Australian Tour Dates with special guests Amyl and The Sniffers Wednesday, Nov. 12 – Melbourne Cricket Ground Sunday, Nov. 16 – Melbourne Cricket Ground (NEW SHOW) Friday, Nov. 21 – Sydney, Accor Stadium Tuesday, Nov. 25 – Sydney, Accor Stadium Sunday, Nov. 30 – Adelaide, bp Adelaide Grand Final Thursday, Dec. 4 – Perth, Optus Stadium Sunday, Dec. 14 – Brisbane, Suncorp Stadium Thursday, Dec. 18 – Brisbane, Suncorp Stadium Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

AC/DC Announce Long-Awaited 2025 Australian Stadium Tour
AC/DC are heading home. The legendary rock band have announced a five-date stadium tour of Australia for November and December 2025, marking their first national run since 2015. The Power Up tour will kick off Nov. 12 at Melbourne Cricket Ground and includes stops in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane, with tickets going on sale via TEG Van Egmond. More from Billboard Nicole Scherzinger Gives Surprise 'Buttons' Performance at Broadway Bares Live Aid to Be Re-Broadcast for 40th Anniversary on U.K. Radio Lana Del Rey Taps Addison Rae, BANKS and London Grammar for U.K. Stadium Tour The tour follows AC/DC's massive European and North American legs earlier this year, and continues the band's celebration of their 2020 studio album Power Up, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 117,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data. The release became AC/DC's third No. 1 album in the U.S., joining 2008's Black Ice and 1981's For Those About to Rock (We Salute You). It also marked their 26th charting album on the Billboard 200, and 10th top 10 overall. The album also nabbed No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, Billboard 200 and the Official UK Albums Chart. The Australian shows will feature support from Amyl and the Sniffers, who frontwoman Amy Taylor called the 'highlight of my literal life' when announcing the news on social media. Taylor took to Instagram Stories to share her disbelief and excitement at landing the gig: 'AC/DC! The best rock and roll band in the world. I just can't believe it. I am so excited,' she wrote. 'Never ever ever would have dreamed this. Highlight of my literal life like wow can you believe it.' She also reminisced about the band's early connection to AC/DC, writing, 'Five years ago we covered the same three AC/DC songs on the back of a truck up the Canning Highway for two hours straight. A band's music that's been weaved through my wholeeeeee life.' To mark the full-circle moment, Taylor shared a throwback video of Amyl and the Sniffers performing 'Highway to Hell' during Perth Festival in 2021. She ended the post with a final fangirl flourish: 'Mainly just excited to see them play multiple times.' The upcoming dates are being produced by TEG Van Egmond, who previously helmed the band's record-breaking Black Ice (2009) and Rock or Bust (2015) tours. The band sold over 520,000 tickets across 11 shows on the last Australian run, including stops in Auckland and Wellington. AC/DC's current lineup features guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist with tracks from all 17 of the band's studio albums. AC/DC are one of only two bands inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the ARIA Hall of Fame (the Bee Gees being the other), and their legacy as one of the most successful and influential bands in history is cemented.

'After such amazing Matchbox shows in 2024, it's so great to revisit the solo catalogue, and I can't wait to come back and share these songs with my Kiwi fans. It's going to be a very special run of shows,' said Thomas. Managing Director of TEG Van Egmond, Christo Van Egmond said 'We're absolutely thrilled to be bringing Rob Thomas back to New Zealand for this incredible run of shows. To see an artist of his calibre in intimate theatre settings is a rare treat, and it's going to be a truly memorable experience for fans around the country.' The upcoming tour promises to deliver the captivating live performances that Thomas is known for, and audiences can expect a night filled with timeless hits including 'Lonely No More,' 'This Is How A Heart Breaks,' 'Her Diamonds,' 'Street Corner Symphony,' the Grammy-winning Santana collaboration 'Smooth,' as well as Matchbox Twenty favourites like '3AM' and 'Unwell.'
