Australian rock legends AC/DC have stirred excitement with the announcement of their return Down Under this week. The tickets for their highly anticipated Power Up tour have finally been released for sale, and Sydney was the first city to witness the frenzy, prompting the addition of a second show due to overwhelming demand.
As fans scrambled to secure their spots, social media was abuzz with complaints about the ticketing chaos, a common occurrence during major tour sales worldwide. While AC/DC is currently rocking stages across Europe, including Prague and Germany, they are gearing up for their long-awaited homecoming in Australia this November, marking their first tour in the country in over a decade.
The iconic band’s last visit to Australia was during the Rock or Bust world tour in 2015, where they thrilled audiences with 11 electrifying performances across Australia and New Zealand. This time around, the ticket sale for their Aussie tour kicked off in Sydney without any pre-sale, causing eager fans to join a virtual queue with tens of thousands of others, a testament to the enduring popularity of the aging rockers.
The Power Up tour promoter, TEG Van Egmond, has a longstanding relationship with AC/DC, dating back four decades. Christo Van Egmond, son of the original promoter, shared insights into the band’s decision to forgo the pre-sale strategy, opting for a simultaneous general sale to create a level playing field for all fans.
Christo emphasized the band’s dedicated fan base and the excitement surrounding the upcoming tour, drawing parallels to the frenzy that ensued during AC/DC’s previous concert events. The decision to skip pre-sale tactics has generated significant anticipation and interest among fans, setting the stage for a monumental concert experience.
Despite initial challenges with the ticketing system, which left some fans frustrated, the addition of a second Sydney show midway through the sales process brought relief to many. Calls for an extra show were met with a positive response, transforming what was originally a one-night performance into a two-date spectacle, much to the delight of eager concertgoers.
With the second show scheduled for November 25, the AC/DC Sydney 2025 tour promises an unforgettable experience for fans at the Accor Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park. As ticket sales continue at a brisk pace, the band’s enduring appeal and legendary status ensure a sold-out event that will resonate with fans for years to come.
As the countdown to the tour intensifies, fans can look forward to witnessing the rock icons in their element, delivering a powerhouse performance that captures the essence of AC/DC’s enduring legacy in the music industry.
