AC/DC is gearing up for its much-anticipated European "Power Up Tour 2025," which promises to electrify fans from across the continent. Kicking off on June 26, 2025, the legendary Australian rock band is scheduled to perform multiple concerts, including a notable show at Paris’s Stade de France on August 9, 2025. With their rich legacy featuring classics like "Back in Black" and "Highway to Hell", fans are eagerly awaiting what could be the summer concert of the year.
The excitement surrounding the tour is palpable, as seen with the sales of tickets which are bound to be competitive. Many fans are already anticipating the opportunity to witness the iconic band live, especially since the tickets for concerts tend to sell out quickly – the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp concert held last summer drew 80,000 attendees.
AC/DC's upcoming tour will span notable cities across Europe, including Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, and Madrid, providing fans ample opportunities to experience their powerful live performances. The group has announced the following dates for their 2025 European tour:

Fans have expressed hope for additional concerts, especially due to the high demand already noted for the Paris show. Promoters have hinted at the possibility, indicating additional dates may be added if ticket sales continue at the current pace. Given the span between shows, it’s not out of the question for AC/DC to add another concert at the Stade de France.
Ticket sales for the Paris concert will open on Monday, February 10, 2025, at 10 AM, via platforms like Ticketmaster and FNAC Spectacles. Price categories for the concert include:
- Golden Circle: €166.50
- Category 1: €139
- Category 2: €111.50

Considering the frenzy typically associated with AC/DC ticket sales, fans are urged to act quickly if they wish to secure their spots for these memorable performances. Tickets will likely disappear within moments following the release.
Adding to the buzz, Royal Mail recently announced the release of AC/DC postage stamps, celebrating the band's role in rock history. "For those about to collect, we salute you," read the Royal Mail's advertising slogan as they join other music legends honored with similar stamps. This collection reflects AC/DC's significant contributions to rock music and showcases their electrifying performances over the decades.
With the countdown to the "Power Up Tour 2025" underway, fans can expect to relive hits from their extensive catalog, all the way from "Thunderstruck" to newer tracks from the last album, "Power Up." The tour may not only showcase the hits of old but may also introduce new favorites, creating memories to last for years to come.
Maximizing their impact, AC/DC continues to demonstrate why they are one of the most renowned rock bands worldwide. The summer of 2025 promises to be unforgettable for fans as AC/DC takes to stages across Europe once more.
