AC DC Fires Up New 2026 North & South America Tour Dates

AC DC are gearing up for another major chapter in their storied career, announcing 21 fresh stadium dates for 2026 as part of their ongoing Power Up world tour. Kicking off in late February in São Paulo, Brazil, the trek will span major cities across South America before jumping into North America in July and wrapping in September.

For long‑time fans and new listeners alike, these shows represent a chance to witness one of rock’s most enduring acts in full flight. The band’s current lineup — vocalist Brian Johnson, lead guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney — has maintained the raw power and visceral live energy that built AC DC’s reputation.

The tour is rooted in their 2020 studio album Power Up, which itself marked a reunion of sorts and reaffirmed their place atop the rock pantheon. The newly announced dates hit many cities often overlooked in prior legs: Charlotte, Columbus, Madison, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco (Santa Clara), Atlanta, Houston, St. Louis, East Rutherford and Philadelphia, among others.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 7 at 10 a.m. local time (with select cities opening at noon). With stadiums, historic venues and a legacy that spans more than five decades, the 2026 run promises both a celebration of AC DC’s catalogue and a full‑throttle live spectacle. Whether you grew up blasting Back in Black or are just discovering the Young brothers’ riffs, this tour affirms that rock’s greatest hits remain very much alive.
