The band launched its 21-song set with “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” from 1979’s Highway to Hell album. They followed it up with “Back in Black,” one of five songs they played from the classic 1980 LP of the same name, along with “Have a Drink on Me,” “Hells Bells,” “Shoot to Thrill,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.”

Other favorites throughout the set included “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Thunderstuck,” “Dirty Deeds Done Cheap,” “Highway to Hell,...

AC/DC’s Power Up world tour is coming to North America next year for a stadium run that kicks off April 10 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and wraps up May 28 in Cleveland, Ohio. If they stick to the script from the European leg earlier this year, expect all the big hits (“Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” “You Shook Me All Night Long”), fan favorites (“Let There Be Rock,” “Hight Voltage”), some deep cuts (“Rock ‘n’ Roll Train,” “Stiff Upper Lip”), and two tunes (“Demon Fire,” “Shot in the Dark”) from their 2020 LP Power Up.

AC/DC will keep those power levels way up in 2025, with the metal greats announcing their first North American tour in nine years.

The stadium run will take place next spring, starting April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and wrapping May 28 at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland.

AC/DC had not played a live show since their 2016 “Rock or Bust Tour” until they returned to the stage in October 2023 with...

AC/DC closed out their 2024 comeback tour with a concert attended by over 82,000 people at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

The rock legends ran through a 21-song setlist, opening with a one-two punch of “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and “Back in Black.” The evening featured plenty of other hits spanning the band’s five-plus-decade career: “Thunderstruck,” “Hell’s Bells,” “High way to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long,” among others.

The set also featured two cuts from the band’s 2020 album, Power Up (“Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark”), as well as some choice deep cuts from the discography such as “Riff Raff,” “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Shot Down in the Flames,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train.”

A truly explosive encore of “T.N.T.” and “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” ended the evening and tour.

AC/DC wrapped up their 2024 Power Up tour Saturday night in front of 82,000 screaming fans at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. It was a typically bombastic show that concluded with the title track to their 1981 LP For Those About to Rock We Salute You. Check out fan-shot video of the grand finale.

Considering the calamity of death, misfortune, legal drama, and burnout the band has faced over the past few years, it’s a small miracle that the tour took place at all. At the end of their previous run...

AC/DC are set to embark on their first tour in eight years later this month, and the legendary rock band has unveiled a photo of its revamped lineup rehearsing for the outing (see below).

The current incarnation of the band includes classic members Brian Johnson (vocals) and Angus Young (lead guitar) alongside rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.

Stevie, the nephew of Angus, has been with the band for several years, filling in when Malcolm Young was diagnosed with dementia and remaining with the band following Malcolm’s passing in 2017.

Laug made his debut with AC/DC at their comeback gig at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, this past October after it was revealed that classic drummer Phil Rudd would not be performing with the band.

Chaney, best known for his long tenure in Jane’s Addiction, recently joined AC/DC to...

In 1974, Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, and the rest of their band Mudcrutch entered Leon Russell’s the Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to record their first demo tape with producer Denny Cordell. It was a crucial moment that led to the formation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers two years later. In late April of this year, Campbell returned to the studio for the first time in 50 years.

“It was spiritual,” Campbell tells Rolling Stone via Zoom from the “man cave” of his Los Angeles home. “I got a little...

AC/DC are hitting the road for the first time in eight years. The hard rock band announced a European stadium tour Monday morning that kicks off May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and wraps up August 17 in Dublin, Ireland.

It’s a new lineup of AC/DC featuring drummer Matt Laug, who played with the group during their one-off Power Trip performance last year, and former Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney “carrying the torch” for bassist Cliff Williams.

We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘Power Up’ European Tour. Angus,...

AC/DC have announced their first tour in eight years, a 2024 UK/European outing that will take place from May through August. The legendary rock band has also revealed that former Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney has joined their touring lineup in place of classic member Cliff Williams.

The tour announcement comes after a week of teases on AC/DC’s social media pages. The 21-date outing kicks off in May 17th in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and runs through an August 17th show in Dublin, Ireland. Tickets go on sale on Friday (February 16th) at various times via Viagogo.

AC/DC last embarked on a full tour in 2016. Part way into that tour, singer Brian Johnson had to step aside due to hearing issues, as Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose took over on vocals. Williams also retired from the band after that outing.

Johnson, Williams, and drummer Phil Rudd all...

AC/DC are teasing a major announcement for Monday, February 12th. Fans are speculating that the news could be the legendary rock band’s first run of tour dates in eight years.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act has posted video teasers on its social media sites, with the words “Are You Ready” and audio of the song by the same name from the 1990 album The Razors Edge.

A clip on Wednesday (February 7th) included the number “5,” implying the announcement was coming in five days. And a countdown clock on the band’s official website is scheduled to end at 3 a.m. Et on Monday.

AC/DC performed their first show in seven years at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, back in October. However, that was a one-off performance. They haven’t embarked on a proper tour since 2016.

The Power Trip gig featured singer Brian Johnson, lead guitarist Angus Young,...

Legendary hard-rock band AC/DC has paid tribute to their founding member Colin Burgess, following his death aged 77.

Burgess, an Australian drummer, was recruited to form the band in 1973, along with Malcolm Young on rhythm guitar, his brother Angus on lead guitar, Dave Evans on vocals and Larry Van Kriedt on bass.

Burgess was fired from the band the following year, after his colleagues accused him of being drunk on stage; he later said his drink had been spiked. Although he left the band, he returned to fill drumming duties in 1975.

AC/DC said on their social media pages:

“Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.”

No cause of death has yet been reported.

Before joining AC/DC, Burgess played between 1968 and 1972 with the Australian rock group the Masters Apprentices, a...

Colin Burgess, the original drummer of rock band AC/DC, has died at age 77.

His death was confirmed by the band in a statement on Facebook. “Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess,” the statement said. “He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin.”

No cause of death was initially provided.

Burgess, an Australia native, teamed with other members of the first lineup of AC/DC, which also included lead vocalist Dave Evans, Malcolm Young, Angus Young and Larry Van Kriedt. After starting with the group in 1973, he left the following year. Phil Rudd would go on to become the best-known drummer of AC/DC across three separate stints with the band, which has continued to tour in its sixth decade. Burgess made later appearances with AC/DC when Bon Scott was their lead singer.

Prior to AC/DC,...

AC/DC took to the stage for the first time in seven years on Saturday night of the Power Trip festival.

It was the first time lead vocalist Brian Johnson performed live with the group since September 2016 in Philadelphia, following a 79-date Rock or Bust world tour. The ill-fated trek required the services of Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose for the final 22 stops after Johnson bowed out with hearing loss issues.

Saturday’s lineup also saw Matt Laug step in for drummer Phil Rudd, while longtime bassist Cliff Williams...

Classic members Brian Johnson (vocals), Cliff Williams (bass), and Phil Rudd (drums) all rejoined AC/DC for their 2020 album Power Up. However, Rudd won’t be behind the kit when the band performs its first show in seven years on October 7th at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California.

On Saturday (September 9th), AC/DC posted rehearsal audio on their social pages (see below), with the caption: “Pwr Up for Power Trip! Listen to the rehearsal of the boys powering up with Cliff Williams, who’s coming out of retirement for the festival and Matt Laug on drums.”

Laug is a veteran drummer who has played with Alanis Morissette, Alice Cooper, and Slash’s Snakepit, among other acts. Most notably, he performed on several tracks on Morissette’s multiplatinum album Jagged Little Pill.

No reason was given for Rudd’s absence. The drummer had previously been replaced by Chris Slade...

AC/DC are revving up for their first concert in seven years at Indio, California’s Power Trip in October, and on Saturday the hard rock legends announced some surprise lineup changes, including the return of longtime bassist Cliff Williams.

Following the conclusion of the band’s Rock or Bust Tour in 2016 — an ill-fated trek that required the services of Axl Rose after singer Brian Johnson bowed out with hearing loss issues — Williams announced his retirement from AC/DC.

“It’s time for me to step out, that’s all,...

Back in 2021, Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier came to the defense of the oft-criticized Lars Ulrich, praising the Metallica drummer as a “genius” for his showmanship and rock-solid presence behind the kit.

Duplantier doubled down on that sentiment in another interview this year, saying, “We need to bring some justice for [Ulrich] … I’m a bit tired of seeing all this conversation about Lars because what he did create is quite unique. Listen to …And Justice for All. It’s amazing.”

While speaking with Ulrich for Consequence’s just-published Metallica cover story, we asked him what he thought about Duplantier calling him a “genius,” and the Metallica drummer opened up on his larger philosophy as a musician. For Ulrich, it’s never been about flexing skill.

“The goal has never been genius,” Ulrich said. “If there’s one constant, it’s certainly not landing in the place of genius; it’s...

When Metallica simplified their sound as they were writing their monumental Black Album, drummer Lars Ulrich looked to two drummers in particular for inspiration — AC/DC’s Phil Rudd and the Rolling Stones’ Charlie Watts. When he learned of Watts’ death this week, he felt both shocked and sad.

“It hits hard on many levels,” Ulrich tells Rolling Stone. “Obviously, as a Stones fan, it’s sort of the end of at least an era within that band, because he was the only drummer that ever recorded with them. He...

AC/DC fans hoping to see the group back on tour sometime soon were given an encouraging sign on May 2nd when Brian Johnson came out midway through the Foo Fighters’ set to rip through “Back in Black” at Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, which was held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Johnson’s presence wasn’t advertised, but it was proof that he’s ready to return to the stage after a long hiatus that began in 2016 when hearing problems forced to him leave an AC/DC tour prematurely.

AC/DC is powering up. On Wednesday, the iconic rock band dropped the music video for their latest single “Realize”, from their 2020 album Power Up.

AC/DC do what AC/DC do best in the video for the Power Up single “Realize.” The clip, filmed in black-and-white and through a guitar-distorting fisheye lens, shows the five musicians simply having a blast playing the no-frills rocker in a rehearsal studio. As the camera pans around, it reveals that lead guitarist Angus Young has a wall of about 40 Marshall amplifiers, which might account for some of the eye-stretching visuals. The track, which opens the album, is a masterclass in AC/DC, from its crushing, lumbering opening chords...

On AC/DC’s most recent tour, in 2016, the band seemed to be falling apart. Frontman Brian Johnson’s hearing was failing, and Axl Rose wound up replacing him for part of the run; rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young — the bedrock of the band — had developed dementia and could no longer play; bassist Cliff Williams was planning his exit; and drummer Phil Rudd had been placed under house arrest for threatening to kill a man.

Improbably, though, lead guitarist Angus Young has pulled the band back together. Johnson, Williams, and Rudd...

For decades, AC/DC have defended their devil-horned crown as rock’s most stubborn band. They’ve survived deaths (singer Bon Scott in 1980, guitarist Malcolm Young in 2017) and dirty deeds (drummer Phil Rudd was placed on house arrest after threatening to kill a man). Yet, they remain eternally committed to their core values: rocking out, hailing Satan, and never going within an outback mile of a ballad. Hell, their most transgressive move ever was using the bagpipes on “It’s a Long Way to the Top,” and that was in...

AC/DC light up the stage in the new video for their first single since 2014, “Shot in the Dark.”

Directed by David Mallet, the clip places AC/DC in their true element — on a giant stage flush with red lights, where they rip through the stadium-sized rocker with ease, conjuring plenty of energy even without hordes of screaming fans.

AC/DC released “Shot in the Dark” earlier this month, announcing the song would appear on their 17th full-length album, Power Up, out November 13th. For the album, the band reunited with producer Brendan O’Brien,...

The newly reassembled AC/DC have released their first single since 2014. “Shot in the Dark” will appear on their 17th full length album, Power Up, which arrives on November 13th. The LP is available for pre-order.

The album reunites the four surviving members of the band’s Back in Black incarnation — lead guitarist Angus Young, lead vocalist Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, plus rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, who has been performing with the band since 2014 and is the nephew of Angus and the late Malcolm Young.

When AC/DC wrapped up their Rock or Bust world tour in September 2016, the band truly seemed to be done forever. Rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young was in the final throes of a battle with dementia that forced his retirement two years earlier, drummer Phil Rudd sat out the entire tour after being arrested by New Zealand authorities for “attempting to procure a murder,” singer Brian Johnson missed the last 23 gigs due to hearing loss — with Axl Rose stepping in as a temporary replacement — and bassist Cliff Williams announced he’d...

A day after AC/DC officially announced their return — as well as their reunion with singer Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams — the band has teased the imminent release of new music with a snippet of a track titled “Shot in the Dark.”

Posted on the band’s socials, the 30-second preview features Angus Young’s trademark riffs and Johnson’s unmistakable vocals as he sings “Make you feel alright” on the song’s call-and-response chorus.

After a series of hints and teasers online, Australian rock band AC/DC have confirmed their return to the music scene, announcing that singer Brian Johnson, drummer Phil Rudd, and bassist Cliff Williams have rejoined the group. The group posted a photo of themselves to Twitter, looking older but exuding youthful energy in some schoolboy outfits. […]

After months of rumors, AC/DC finally confirmed that frontman Brian Johnson is returning to the band along with drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams.

The band shared a new image of them alongside guitarist/co-founder Angus Young and nephew Stevie Young, who took over for the late Malcolm Young on guitar in 2015.

The band has been teasing this reunion on Twitter all week with a series of short videos that show the red AC/DC lightning bolt logo flickering back to life. There’s no official word on...

New photos of AC/DC hit the internet this month, seeming to confirm longstanding reports that they have regrouped for a new album. The images were briefly shared on the band’s official homepage before being pulled down, but not before fans captured then and spread them all over the web. The general consensus is that they come from a shoot for an upcoming video.

We learn nothing about the new album from the photos, but they do seem to prove that singer Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams, and drummer...

Earlier this week, we spoke to AC/DC drummer Chris Slade about his first stint in the band in early early Nineties and his surprise return for the Rock or Bust tour of 2015 and 2016. “We always got on as people, so it wasn’t that different,” he said of his return to the group after a pause of more than 20 years. “Everybody got a bit older, including myself, but it felt great.”

Slade initially joined AC/DC right before the recording of The Razor’s Edge in 1990 after working with Eighties...

On the surface, AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” Manfred Mann’s Earth Band’s “Blinded by the Light,” and Tom Jones’ “Valerie” have nothing in common. They were recorded in different decades, targeted at different demographics, and they don’t sound even remotely alike. But they all feature the drumming of Chris Slade, a journeyman Welsh musician who has also played with Olivia Newton-John, Tom Paxton, Uriah Heep, David Gilmour, the Firm, Gary Moore, and Asia.

He’s best known for joining AC/DC in 1989, just in time to play on their comeback LP,...

AC/DC’s landmark 1980 LP, Back in Black, turns 40 on July 25th, and they’re marking the occasion by releasing vintage videos from the era on YouTube. The newest one is a performance of “What Do You Do for Money Honey” from a February 1981 show at Nippon Seinenkan in Tokyo.

Original AC/DC frontman Bon Scott died slightly less than one year before this show in Tokyo, and this was their first time on the road with singer Brian Johnson. It’s a rare live video where Johnson isn’t wearing his trademark newsboy hat.

The team behind Coachella surrendered to the inevitable this week and canceled the 2020 edition of the festival. It was originally booked for early April, weeks after the Covid-19 lockdown began, and they initially pushed it back to October in the hopes that the world would return to normal by then. As the months ticked by, however, they realized that was an overly optimistic projection and they pulled the plug until next year.

The first Coachella was held in 1999 with Beck, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine headlining. The fest skipped...

Sammy Hagar and the Circle’s newest Lockdown Sessions video is a cover of the 1977 AC/DC classic “Whole Lotta Rosie.”

It begins with drummer Jason Bonham calling up Hagar to suggest the song. “Give me a call,” he says, while a recording of AC/DC’s “Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be” plays in the background. “I think I have an idea for Lockdown Sessions number five. Do you remember the AC/DC song we used to do in Cabo? I’m sure you do, though you...

AC/DC have released a vintage live video of “Whole Lotta Rosie” in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Highway to Hell. Shot for the Dutch TV show Countdown in 1979, the clip follows the recent release of live versions of “Highway to Hell” and “The Jack.”

The video features late lead singer Bon Scott shirtless and screaming lines that would deem inappropriate today, like “She ain’t exactly pretty/ Ain’t exactly small/ Fourt’two thirt’ninefiftysix/ You could say she’s got it all.” Malcolm Young, who once said...

AC/DC played a steamy rendition of “The Jack,” singer Bon Scott’s ode to STDs, when the band appeared on the Dutch TV show Countdown on July 13th, 1979. Dressed only in jeans and shoes, Scott caressed his mic and peered out at the packed crowd as he sang sexual innuendos, leading them in a sing-along accompanied only by the drums. Angus Young, also shirtless, plays his own seedy guitar solo midway through the bluesy number.

AC/DC are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their landmark album Highway to Hell by posting archival videos from their July 13th, 1979 appearance on the Dutch TV show Countdown on their official Youtube channel. The group has unveiled “Highway to Hell,” followed by “The Jack” on July 24th and “Whole Lotta Rosie” on July 31st. The clips were previously released on the group’s 2007 Plug Me In DVD box set, but it’s their first time they’ll appear online.

AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson’s travel series Life on the Road, which aired in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2017, is coming to America’s Axs TV in September. The show features Johnson traveling all across the globe to interview rock stars like Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Sting, Billy Joel, Nick Mason and many others about their formative years, their music and their ongoing passions. “To sit and chat with my friends and heroes while filming ‘On The Road’ was ridiculous fun,” Johnson said in a statement, “and with no professional journalists around,...

Decades from now, historians will look back at 2016 as a time when the fabric of the universe broke down and chaos reigned. It wasn’t just the year when David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Merle Haggard, Prince, and Leonard Cohen died, England voted to break free from the European Union, and Donald Trump pulled the biggest surprise victory in the history of American politics; it was also a time when AC/DC parted ways with Brian Johnson under murky circumstances and brought in Axl Rose to fill the void.

AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams will no longer be back in black as the 66-year old confirmed his retirement on Tuesday. The news of Williams hanging up his bass comes during a tumultuous time for the group. During the last couple of years, AC/DC has seen the ousting (or medical leave, depending on who you ask) of lead singer Brian Johnson, Malcolm Young’s departure due to dementia, and Phil Rudd’s legal problems. “It's time for me to step out, that's all. Not because we’ve lost Mal (Malcolm Young), Phil or Brian. Everything changes,” Williams said. “I’m ready to get off the road and do what I do in between tours…It's just my time. I'm happy I just need family time, just chill out and not do this." Williams continued, “I couldn't have asked for anything more -- being with the people I'm with and have been,...

At the time of his arrest, Rudd was also charged [...]...
