Kicking off on June 26, 2025, at Letňany Airport in Prague, Czech Republic, the tour will feature 12 electrifying dates across 10 countries, concluding at the historic Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland, on August 21. What makes this tour particularly special?

The band, consisting of iconic members Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney, has seen phenomenal success decade after decade, stirring up excitement among fans of all ages.

The band's return to Scotland holds special significance, deeply tied to their musical roots, as Scotland is where the Young brothers' story began.
