Where to buy tickets, schedule, dates

Prepare to be shook all night year long.

AC/DC just announced they’ve extended their ‘Power Up Tour’ into 2026 and will rock stadiums all over North and South America from March through September.

That includes a stop at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, Sept. 25.

These concerts come on the heels of the Rock Hall of Famer’s 2025 worldwide trek — which included their first official concerts in the U.S. and Canada other than their 2023 appearance at Indio, CA’s ‘Power Trip Festival’ — where they skipped many major locales including New York and New Jersey.

Based on our findings, the last time they played in the Big Apple or Garden State was during their 2016 ‘Rock or Bust Tour’ when they headlined Madison Square Garden with Axl Rose filling in for long-time vocalist Brian Johnson on Sept. 14.

On this upcoming run, Johnson and original guitarist Angus Young will be joined by rhythm guitarist Stevie Young (Angus’ nephew, who replaced his uncle’s late brother Malcolm), drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney.

At all shows, the group will likely employ the same playbook from their summer ’25 concerts where they revisited their timeless heavy hits like “Thunderstruck,” “Back In Black,” “T.N.T.,” “Hells Bells” and “You Shook Me All Night Long” and deliver cuts from their 2020 album “Power Up,” which shares a name with the tour.

“Not only can AC/DC still deliver their peerless, megawatt stadium rock spectacle, but they’re getting better with each tour stop, gleefully rubbing it in the faces of their doubters,” Ultimate Classic Rock raved about the group’s April ’25 Arlington gig.

“…[Johnson’s] voice sounded demonically robust…he screamed like a feral alley cat on ‘Highway to Hell’ and ‘For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)’…some croaks and crags are inevitable at 77, but Johnson has developed workarounds for the toughest vocal moments — and when he needed backup, he had 80,000 screaming fans more than happy to oblige.”

Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming North American AC/DC shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 2026 ‘Power Up Tour’ is Friday, Nov. 7.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

AC/DC new music

Way back in November 2020, AC/DC dropped “POWER UP.”

Their 17th studio album — comprised of 12 raucous, muscular, fist-pumping tracks — fits right in with the band’s unimpeachable canon.

For our money, this album’s guitar-heavy rockers like “Realize,” “Shot In The Dark” and “Wild Reputation” are on par with anthems like “Dirt Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” and “T.N.T.”

This is truly a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” kind of record and we can’t get enough.

If you want to have your face melted off by the Aussie rockers once again, you can find “POWER UP” here.
