### Angus Young Announces Date for AC/DC’s Upcoming Tour
In an electrifying announcement that has sent shockwaves through the rock music community, Angus Young, the legendary guitarist and co-founder of AC/DC, has confirmed the dates for the band’s highly anticipated upcoming tour. Fans around the globe have been eagerly waiting for news since the band last hit the stage, and Young’s announcement promises to deliver a powerhouse experience for rock enthusiasts.
#### A Long-Awaited Return
AC/DC’s previous tour concluded in 2016, marking the end of an era for the iconic band. Since then, there has been a palpable sense of anticipation among fans, compounded by the challenges posed by the global pandemic. The tour, which will kick off in spring 2025, is expected to celebrate the band’s extensive discography, featuring classics from their earlier albums alongside newer material from their acclaimed 2020 release, “Power Up.”
In a press conference held at a venue reminiscent of their raucous live performances, Young addressed the crowd with his signature energy. “We’ve missed the stage, we’ve missed the fans, and we’ve missed playing the music that means so much to all of us,” he said, his iconic schoolboy cap perched atop his head. “This tour is not just about us; it’s about the fans who have stood by us through thick and thin. We can’t wait to rock out with all of you!”
#### Tour Dates and Locations
The tour will launch on May 1, 2025, in Sydney, Australia, with a special performance at the iconic ANZ Stadium. Following the Australian leg, the band will embark on an extensive tour across North America and Europe, with stops in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, London, and Berlin. The full list of tour dates is set to be released next week, and fans are already brimming with excitement.
Young teased some surprises in the setlist, hinting at the possibility of fan favorites that haven’t been performed in years. “We want to give our fans a show they’ll remember,” he said. “Expect the unexpected!”
#### Anticipation from Fans and Critics
The response to the announcement has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans took to social media to express their excitement, with hashtags like #ACDCTour2025 trending worldwide. Rock critics have also weighed in, with many predicting that this tour could be one of the most significant in recent history. “AC/DC has always been a band that delivers unmatched energy and unforgettable performances,” wrote one prominent music journalist. “This tour could very well redefine what we expect from live rock music.”
Moreover, the band’s recent album, “Power Up,” was met with critical acclaim, and many believe this tour will serve as a celebration of not just their past but also their ongoing legacy. The album marked the return of vocalist Brian Johnson, who had stepped away from performing due to health issues. Johnson’s return to the stage alongside Young, bassist Cliff Williams, and drummer Phil Rudd has created a buzz among fans eager to see the classic lineup in action.
#### Ticket Sales and Merchandise
Ticket sales for the tour are expected to open on October 15, 2024, with pre-sale options available for fan club members starting a week earlier. Given the band’s massive following and the excitement surrounding the announcement, it’s anticipated that tickets will sell out quickly.
In addition to the tour, AC/DC will also be launching a new line of merchandise, featuring exclusive tour-themed items such as t-shirts, hats, and posters. Fans can expect to see these items available for pre-order shortly after the tour dates are announced.
#### A Celebration of Rock

Angus Young’s passion and commitment to the craft continue to inspire fans of all ages, and this upcoming tour promises to be a celebration not only of AC/DC’s storied past but also of the vibrant rock community that has supported them throughout the years.
With high energy, classic hits, and a dedicated fanbase, the 2025 tour is poised to be a landmark event in the rock calendar. As Young himself said, “Let’s make some noise and create some unforgettable memories together!” Rock on, AC/DC; we can’t wait to see you back in action!
