AC/DC is bringing their electrifying presence back to Madrid as part of their 'Power Up' European tour, marking a significant moment for rock fans. The Australian rock giants will perform one highly anticipated concert on July 12, 2025, at the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
The announcement, made just days ago, has left fans buzzing with excitement. This performance marks AC/DC's return to Spain after their successful show last year, and it's the only concert scheduled for the country during this leg of their tour. Rock aficionados can expect to enjoy classic hits such as "Highway to Hell," "Thunderstruck," and set to be performed live.
Ticket sales will officially open on February 7, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time, exclusively through official platforms: Live Nation, Ticketmaster, and El Corte Inglés. This will help fans avoid the pitfalls of ticket reselling, which can often lead to inflated prices and availability issues due to shady practices. It's prudent for fans to secure their tickets early, as demand for this iconic event is expected to be high.
Pricing for the tickets varies significantly depending on the section chosen. Prices will range from €100 for standing area B to up to €165 for prime seats, plus applicable service fees. The tiered pricing reflects AC/DC’s broad appeal, allowing fans to choose according to their budget and preferences. Ticket types include standard general admission as well as platinum tickets, which adjust pricing dynamically based on demand – typical of major events today.
It's interesting to note, as reported, AC/DC's last concert drew over 100,000 enthusiastic fans, signifying their longstanding impact on the rock world. With the current economic climate, demand for this upcoming concert has been less frenetic than previous tours; approximately 38,000 fans queued online at the start of ticket sales. This is considerably lower than past events when numbers reached upwards of 120,000.
During the concert, the band will consist of several key members, including guitarist Angus Young and lead vocalist Brian Johnson, promising fans an unforgettable evening filled with classic rock energy. AC/DC's continues to celebrate not just its monumental career but also their latest album, "Power Up," which saw phenomenal success upon release.
Another aspect fans should keep in mind is the restrictions on minors. Those under 16 years old can attend the concert only if accompanied by an adult, adhering to venue policy. This detail is significant as many fans may want to bring younger generations to share the experience of seeing AC/DC live.
The Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano will provide the perfect backdrop for this spectacle, known for its capacity and modern capabilities. Envisioned to host grand concerts and marking AC/DC's special return, this venue is expected to vibrate with the legendary music of the band on this warm July night.
With their rich history, AC/DC holds the title as one of the world's greatest rock bands, and the upcoming concert adds to their impressive legacy. Fans should prepare for what promises to be not just another concert but a historic moment for rock music lovers, paying homage to decades of hits and timeless performances.
Don't miss out on the chance to experience AC/DC live in Madrid - it certainly promises to be one for the books!
