AC/DC, the iconic Australian rock band, has revealed plans for an extensive stadium tour across the UK and Europe in 2024. This eagerly awaited tour marks the band’s first European jaunt in eight years, spotlighting their triumphant return to the international stage. The ‘Power Up’ tour, named after their 2020 album, is set to ignite the summer with 21 shows across 10 countries, promising an electrifying experience for rock enthusiasts.
The tour will kick off on May 17 at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, setting the stage for a series of powerhouse performances across Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and other European hotspots. Notably, the band is scheduled for two unforgettable nights at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 3 and 7, providing UK fans with a rare opportunity to witness the legends live. The grand finale will take place at Dublin’s Croke Park on August 17, concluding a tour that is bound to be etched in the annals of rock history.
Ticket sales are set to begin this Friday (February 16), with on-sale times varying by location but generally starting between 9-10am local time. Fans looking to attend the London shows can secure their tickets from 10am on the designated sale date, with links available for both UK and European dates.
The band expressed their excitement on social media, stating, “We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘POWER UP’ European Tour. Angus, Brian, Stevie, and Matt will be joined by Chris Chaney to carry the torch for Cliff. We can’t wait to see you all out there.”
The full itinerary for AC/DC’s ‘Power Up’ 2024 UK and European tour includes stops in major cities and venues, promising a mix of high-voltage performances and memorable nights. From the initial show in Gelsenkirchen to the closing night in Dublin, fans across Europe are in for a treat as AC/DC brings their legendary sound to life.
The tour announcement follows a period of speculation and anticipation among fans, fueled by hints from the band and an inadvertent reveal by a German mayor about a Munich show. This return to touring comes on the heels of their appearance at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, in October, which was their first live show in seven years. The latest album, ‘Power Up’, has been lauded for demonstrating that AC/DC still packs a punch, maintaining their status as rock icons.
As tickets go on sale, fans are urged to act swiftly to secure their spots at what promises to be one of the most talked-about tours of 2024. AC/DC’s return to the stage is not just a series of concerts but a celebration of rock and roll’s enduring spirit and the band’s indomitable legacy.
