AC/DC Announces 2024 ‘Power Up’ Tour Dates and New Lineup

AC/DC has announced that they will tour Europe this summer with a brand-new lineup.

The 21-date Power Up tour will kick off May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and is scheduled to conclude on Aug. 17 in Dublin, Ireland.

You can see a complete list of tour dates below. Tickets go on sale Feb. 16.

According to the band's X (formerly Twitter) posts, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams will not be performing at these dates. Lead guitarist Angus Young , singer Brian Johnson and rhythm guitarist Stevie Young will be joined by Matt Laug on drums and former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney.

Rudd missed AC/DC's 2015-16 Rock or Bust tour due to his well-documented legal troubles . He returned to record 2020's Power Up album but was replaced by Laug at the group's only concert since that time, which took place in October 2023 at the Power Trip festival in Indio, Calif.

Williams announced his retirement after the Rock or Bust tour due to what he described as a bout with " terrible vertigo ," but returned for the recording of Power Up and for the Power Trip performance.

AC/DC Return From Long Layoff

The announcement comes four months after AC/DC made their triumphant return to the stage with their performance at the Power Trip festival. The gig marked the Aussie rockers’ first concert since 2016 and brought to an end the longest show-free stretch of the band’s career.

The Power Trip set was also AC/DC’s first performance since the death of founding member Malcolm Young. The rhythm guitarist was replaced by his nephew, Stevie Young, who also played on the group’s 2020 album Power Up .

AC/DC has yet to tour in support of Power Up . The album was recorded in 2018 and 2019, but released in 2020 – right as the COVID-19 pandemic brought the live music industry to a halt. Johnson, who had dealt with severe hearing loss for years, was also testing experimental hearing aid technology. At the time, he was still unsure if he’d be able to perform with AC/DC again, however a handful of successful guest appearances – including a memorable performance at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in London – left Johnson confident he could return to touring again.

“I walked out there, the roof lifted up off Wembley and I sang my little heart out,” he recalled of the Hawkins show . “I did two songs and the place went absolutely crackers. I think I floated off. It was absolutely wonderful. So we knew [the hearing aids] worked. We were absolutely jumping for joy at the side of the stage. It was something special.”

AC/DC Announce European Tour — With New Drummer and Bassist

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

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.

But when the band reconvened to record 2020’s Power Up , Johnson was back in the fold thanks to a new hearing aid technology. They also made peace with Back in Black -era drummer Phil Rudd, who left the group in 2015 thanks to some fairly serious legal issues in New Zealand that were ultimately resolved. He was asked to rejoin the group for the recording of Power Up.

“I speak for all the boys with Phil,” Johnson told Rolling Stone in 2022. “We defend Phil to the hilt. What happened up there, that’s not the Phil we know. That was just something else. He’s really looking brilliant now and doing everything great.”

AC/DC (formed in November 1973) is a seminal and highly revered Australian hard rock band hailing from Sydney, on the south-east coast of Australia.

Guitarist Malcolm Young formed AC/DC with fifteen year-old younger brother and lead guitarist Angus Young in 1973. With the addition of vocalist Bon Scott, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Philip Rudd, the band’s first four albums established AC/DC as a solid hard-rock act across the U.S. Known for their huge riffs and macho lyricism over simple yet rowdy and aggressive power chords, the band earned a hardy and devoted following early on, but didn’t break into the charts until the 1979 platinum album “Highway to Hell”.

In 1980 lead singer Bon Scott died after choking on his own vomit following a night of all-out drinking and was replaced by the ex-Geordie vocalist Brian Johnson two months later. Johnson’s vocal debut came on “Back in Black” which enjoyed a year-long run in the U.S. chart, selling over 22 million copies, which made in the fifth best-selling album in U.S. history.

Throughout the ‘80s and ’90s AC/DC released a solid stream of albums that earned the band their highly revered and seminal status. “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”, a reissue of their 1976 “Australian” LP arrived in 1981, followed by the group’s first No. 1 album “For Those About to Rock, We Salute You” the same year, “Flick of the Switch” appeared in 1983 and “Fly on the Wall” in 1985. These made way for the multi-platinum “Maximum Overdrive” soundtrack album “Who Made Who” and “The Razor’s Edge” in 1990, a five-times certified platinum album featuring the singles “Thunderstuck” and “Moneytalks”.

The release of the band’s twelfth studio album “Ballbreaker” in 1995 saw the return of drummer Phil Rudd to the mix, and was succeeded by the five-CD box set “Bonfire” (1997) featuring a selection of live tracks and a remastered version of “Back in Black”. “Stiff Upper Lip” arrived in 2000 reaching No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart, followed by the usual extensive and elaborately designed tour schedule.

After an eight year wait for fans, AC/DC returned with the release of “Black Ice” in 2008. The album attempted to recapture the sound and feel of the band’s early material and quickly became a commercial success, finding the top of the charts in 29 countries including the U.S. In 2009 with the release of the nostalgic box set “Backtracks” came an announcement from the Recording Industry of America that AC/DC were the ninth-best selling artist in U.S. history.

“Rock or Bust”, AC/DC’s fifteenth studio album was released in 2014 on Sony Records. The release brought a 40 year anniversary tour and marked the departure of original member Malcolm Young who suffering from dementia was replaced by his nephew Stevie Young.

For those about to rock,

Was a great show as always, (been watching them live since 1986)

New in the line up was Stevie Young, and the return of Chris Slade (from the Razors edge tour)

Slade appeared to labor and fight through some of the songs when the camera was on him, but kept the beat and tempo well.

Stevie looked panicked and a little intimidated on stage, but have to give him credit for jumping in for Malcolm it was obvious he hasn't done this for the 42 years the other band-mates have.

I've rather gotten used to the fact that Clive and Malcolm were always in the background until it was time to sing back up vocals, so this was no different,

Clive and Stevie did a great job, and the background vocals sounded much better than the Black Ice tour from 5 years ago when I last saw them in Las Vegas.

It has always been all about Angus and Brian Johnson running around the stage.

This venue was amazing, the atmosphere was electric, and my estimate for the crowd was 70,000

From my seats the entire floor (soccer pitch) was packed, and even the steady rain that had been falling all day was not enough to damper spirits,

the crowd was ready to party.

The opening act, (sorry I don't know the name)

appeared to be a local German cover band, pandering to the crowd with hits from the 80's and sang local drinking songs to get the crowd pumped.

The next act Vintage Trouble, had great energy, the lead singer reminded me of a Chuck Berry, James Brown, and Jimmy Hendrix mix, had great vocals, and worked the stage hard, however the crowd just wasn't responding to the blues-rock sound they were pounding out.

Up next ACDC,

there really isn't anything I can say about this band that hasn't been said.

They work hard, played the classic hits that have spawned generations of rockers

and are simply amazing.

The setlist was pretty much an even split of Johnson, and Bon Scott songs,

It was a nice throwback having at least 9 songs that came from the 70's

Song that was removed from previous shows, "the jack" was a nice change.

I personally have always felt it was a mood killer and brought down the tempo of the crowd even though that was taking away from the crowd to repeat "the jack" over and over,

This also eliminated Angus' "strip-tease"

not sure if it was because of the weather, or Angus doesn't want to expose his 60 year old butt anymore,

but his solo, which rocked kept the 70,000 fans standing all night long.

Johnson appeared to have a mic issue nearing the end of the concert, and his frustration and emotions were caught, but still pushed through,

as a long time fan I can only give this a 5/5 rating.

Looking forward to their return to North America in the fall.

Attending a concert in a giant corporate arena is a necessary evil when it comes to seeing high-profile bands with a large stage presence, but when done right, those arena-ready bands can make you forget the hell you’re living in. AC/DC flipped that script right on its head last night when they brought their Rock or Bust World Tour to the Pepsi Center. For the Australian rockers, Hell isn’t a place to be avoided, it is to be celebrated. So when the lights went down on the capacity crowd, thousands of red devil-horns lit the seats as Denver welcomed the iconic band back to the Northern Hemisphere. A space odyssey scene played out on the giant screen before everything was blown to bits when Brian Johnson and Angus Young took the stage to rattle brains with the title track off their latest album. By packing a stadium-sized show into a modestly-sized arena, the band achieved maximum visual and sonic impact, proving that Hell really ain’t a bad place to be.

One of my first large-scale rock shows was AC/DC’s Ballbreaker Tour at San Diego Sports Arena. Some friends and I had 2nd row tickets for my 19th birthday. That was on February 12th, 1996. Twenty years later (almost to the day), I found myself doing the same thing in a different city with different friends. Having attended hundreds of shows since that night in San Diego, I didn’t think there was any way an aging AC/DC could impress the way they did back then. I was wrong. The absence of Malcolm Young (due to serious health issues) is something that has to be mentioned, just out of pure respect, but his nephew, the 57-year-old Stevie Young, provided more than enough coverage to keep the band tight. And while Chris Slade kept his personality in the background all night, he is no stranger to touring with the band, so the troubled Phil Rudd was hardly missed on drums. In all reality, any capable musicians would have done fine though, because all eyes were on Angus Young and Brian Johnson the entire night. Those guys must have truly made a deal with the devil, because their style, attitude, energy, and even their attire, hasn’t aged a day in the two decades since I last saw them. - See more at: http://ilistensoyoudonthaveto.com/2016/02/09/acdc-pepsi-center-02-08-16/#sthash.o9wcFq2q.dpuf

Awesome gig, AC/DC still know how to put on a great show! They know what the crowd want, and romp through their greatest hits including the Bon Scott days, still finding time for three from the new album.

All the theatrical elements are there - the great bell for Hells Bells, the cannons for For Those About To Rock, the inflatable Rosie, Angus' frenzied guitar solo. For Scotland we were also treated to a few bars of Loch Lomond as the intro to Highway to Hell, a nice touch. The only thing missing is Angus' long-standing striptease and mooning of the audience - is he now too old to do it, or is it now considered too bad taste? Who knows...

Malcolm Young was fondly remembered by the crowd, who started chants of "Malcolm! Malcolm!" instead of the usual "Angus! Angus!" from time to time, but no mention was made by the band - in fact we got no banter from Brian at all. Stevie Young filled in his uncle's place effectively, but the show has always been about Angus and Brian, so it didn't have a significant effect. Chris Slade did a solid job on the drums, and was probably quite happy that Phil Rudd's dubious legal problems gave him a chance to re-join the band.

Will this be the last big AC/DC tour? Time will tell. It's been a while since the last one, and many would never have expected the band would continue without Malcolm. But Angus still struts around with amazing energy for a 60-year-old, and there will always be an audience for them, so he may not be hanging up his schoolboy cap quite yet.

It was wet, very wet. Hives had done there job and done it well. The stage was set and with a surreal video, lighting system, pyrotechnics and a sound system dreams are made of, the show began ...

"Ahh Sydney, good to be back" Brian sighed almost longingly as he moved into 'Rock or Bust' as the rain drizzled onstage. Between each song, a quick retreat to wipe faces, hands and fretboards, roadies wiping the stage, one knew they were up against it especially when Angus took off his now soaked coat, donned only in a white soggy shirt and shorts being somewhat careful in his customary shuffle along the stage, but shuffle he did, no quarter was given.

Wet hair flicking water everywhere as Angus took to the long stage extension, now raised for 'Let There Be Rock' and an extended lead solo as bluesy and crisp as it gets by Angus duck-walking onto the podium, raised even higher with another blistering lead break while spinning around "Curly" style as the crowd, horns held high, called for more!

Cliff Williams as solid as ever pounded the Bass while drummer Chris Slade was unrelenting, not missing a beat. Stevie Young at home on Rhythm Guitar, deep in concentration, a fitting and honourable replacement for Malcolm.

Nothing replaces years of committed touring and AC/DC are the epitome of hard work and a lifelong dedication to their craft.

AC/DC has been around just about forever, sold tens of millions of albums worldwide, and won a dozen awards, so your expectations for a live show should be high. I first saw them at the Tacoma Dome in June, 1988, and wasn't disappointed.

Seeing AC/DC live back then was like being hit by a steamroller. And it's the same if you see them today – the crowd at an AC/DC show these days is a mix of young and older fans, but we're all rocking out together. Once they start, they blast through hit after hit, and you know when they play "Let There Be Rock" it sets the tone for the rest of the show.

The floor ends up just being a mass of bodies, cheering and jumping up and down with fists in the air, gaining more energy with every word sung by Brian Johnson - a little guy with a lot of voice. The best songs are always: "Back in Black," "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," "Whole Lotta Rosie," and "It's a Long Way to the Top," all of which I can safely say are awesome live - and they really are.

AC/DC may be getting older but they aren't mellowing. They still put on a great show and sound as good as they did 25 years ago. Their live show is perfect for new and longtime fans alike, so if you get the chance to see them, do yourself a favor and go.

There is not much to say about the Australian rocker with an over-fondness for school attire AC/DC apart from they are considered icons of rock. They show no signs of tiring despite having formed as a band over 40 years ago.

They continue to wow fans all over the globe and pack out their shows with a mixture of dedicated fans who have followed their career from the offset to the new-age fans who have discovered and enjoy their influence on modern rock. Enthusiastic as ever, Angus Young leads the band into an all cannons blazing rendition of 'Rock 'N' Roll Train' which delights the audiences below.

They are not the most enthusiastic of crowds being as the majority of the audience are now reaching their fifties yet the roar of applause at the end of each track is thanks enough. Classics such as 'Hells Bells' and 'High Voltage' are a joy to see performed live whilst the closing anthemic 'Let Their Be Rock' shows the band's dedication to the music.

Perhaps the track everyone wants to see, 'Highway To Hell' is saved for the encore and this song that defined a chapter in rock is just as brilliant as you would imagine.

Some bagged the first gig on the 12th, don't know, I was at Fleetwood Mac. The rain and thunder around the stadium joined the Best Live Rock Band in History on stage. They took Kingswood and the Hives to school... this IS how to Rock 'N' Roll. Angus, Angus had us in the palm of his hand... no one does this like ANGUS, he was his usual, just amazing. Brian, well ok he doesn't hit the high notes and doesn't try, but it's overlooked in his performance, the gravel voice of the new guy, does justice to Bon's songs,so who gives a shit, were all aging a little. AC/DC have been doing this since they made it big with Jailbreak in 1974 and of course that massive leap in 1980 with the New Guy. From the back of a truck to a world wide phenomenon,Let There Be Rock!

The show? Awesome.

From opening video to pryotechnics during the encore, all top notch.

The actual performance was stellar - they still have it. The tempo never dropped.

I loved the amount of location-specific merchandise.

The problem? The seating chart when we bought our extra-pricey-but-totally-worth-it tickets was not what we actually were sitting at. Per the chart, we should have been, floor, front and center between main stage and catwalk. instead, our entire section was moved behind the section that was stage-right, and suddenly, we can't even tell there's a catwalk.

I don't know if this was the tour, the promoters, the venue, but it was a royally dick move - all to sell just a few more tickets.

the performance itself was great, as expected. but there were some side problems.

1- There was just one mentioned time on the tickets, 18:00. Of course it wasn't the time which ACDC comes on stage but it wasn't the door opening time either. We were there around 17:30 and half of the field was already occupied, so we didn't get a proper place. Next time I wish for better information about the door opening time.

2- after the concert, conducting the people to the exit doors was awful. we were standing on our feet for like 45 minutes without moving a single step. I don't know what was happening in the front but that situation was tiring and also very dangerous.

Between 1976 and 1980 AC/DC recorded a bunch of albums that will remain among the greatest ever made. The band are a lot older now but they play these classic tunes flawlessly.

The band continued without a blip when they lost their singer in 1980 and they've done it again. Axl Rose was an unexpected choice to stand in for Brian Johnson but despite my suspicion he sang brilliantly.

And then there's Angus Young. This is his band and his show and he is a truly amazing entertainer.

You know what you're gonna get from an AC/DC show - no nonsense rock'n'roll but these songs are so good. Rock shows just don't get better than this.

THE PRETTY RECKLESS To Support AC/DC On Spring/Summer 2024 European Tour

THE PRETTY RECKLESS has been announced as the support act on AC/DC 's upcoming European spring/summer 2024 tour.

The Taylor Momsen -fronted group, which released its most recent album "Death By Rock And Roll" in 2021, will join the legendary band on their run of stadium shows this spring summer, starting on May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany and ending on August 17 in Dublin, Ireland.

A decade ago, Momsen told the Cleveland Scene that AC/DC was one of her early influences, saying: "I grew up with my dad's record collection. THE BEATLES were his favorite band. They're the reason why I wanted to be in a band and the reason I started writing songs and the reason I picked up a guitar. Everything. Then it was LED ZEPPELIN , THE WHO , AC/DC , PINK FLOYD , Bob Dylan and Neil Young and I got into the '90s stuff with SOUNDGARDEN and NIRVANA and ALICE IN CHAINS , and I could just keep listing bands. OASIS , THE DOORS . I'm wearing a SOUNDGARDEN shirt right now. It's always been in my blood. It's the first thing I ever heard."

In 2015, Taylor told MarcAndrew.ca about AC/DC : "Amazing songwriting, amazing band. Have you ever seen a bad AC/DC performance? There isn't one. Every show, balls to the wall. You can't duplicate them."

AC/DC tour dates with THE PRETTY RECKLESS :

THE PRETTY RECKLESS recently entered the studio to begin recording its fifth album. The band is once again working with Jonathan Wyman , who co-produced "Death By Rock And Roll" .

In a May 2023 interview with Ronni Hunter of the 99.7 The Blitz radio station, Momsen revealed that she and her THE PRETTY RECKLESS bandmates had commenced work on the follow-up to "Death By Rock And Roll" .

In November 2022, THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a new collection of music, "Other Worlds" , via Fearless Records . The effort saw the group delivering its first proper acoustic recordings, unexpected covers and other reimaginings.

"Death By Rock And Roll" was made available in February 2021 via Fearless Records in the U.S. and Century Media Records in the rest of the world.

Upon release, "Death By Rock And Roll" topped multiple sales charts — including Billboard 's Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital charts. The record also yielded three back-to-back No. 1 singles — "Death By Rock And Roll" , "And So It Went" (featuring Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE ) and "Only Love Can Save Me Now" (featuring Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of SOUNDGARDEN ). The band has tallied seven No. 1 singles at the rock format throughout its career.

"Death By Rock And Roll" was THE PRETTY RECKLESS 's first album to be made without longtime producer Kato Khandwala , who died in April 2018 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

THE PRETTY RECKLESS formed in 2009 and consists of Momsen , guitarist Ben Phillips , bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins .

AC/DC recently added three shows to the group's first tour dates in eight years.

The legendary band's lineup for the "Power Up" European tour will consist of singer Brian Johnson , guitarists Angus and Stevie Young , drummer Matt Laug and the latest addition to the group's touring lineup, bassist Chris Chaney .

AC/DC 's first show in seven years took place on October 7, 2023 at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California.

AC/DC had been keeping us on tenterhooks over the last week – the band had been sharing a countdown to an imminent announcement across their social media channels, with fans speculating it was for a new tour or album.

Officially revealed today, the Australian rock group will indeed be heading out on a Power Up tour across Europe from May through to August this year. Along the way, they’ll make two stops in the UK at London’s Wembley Stadium, and also at Ireland’s Dublin Croke Park.

In addition to the exciting tour announcement, it has also been confirmed that Chris Chaney, former bassist for Jane’s Addiction, will be filling in for Cliff Williams. Alongside him will be vocalist Brian Johnson with Angus Young, Stevie Young, and Matt Laug, who first joined the band at 2023’s Power Trip  festival.

Williams initially retired from the band at the end of the Rock Or Bust tour in 2016, but returned on the recording of 2020’s Power Up . Chaney was also a member of Alanis Morissette’s touring and recording band for six years, and also formed part of Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders.

“We are thrilled to finally announce the POWER UP European Tour. Angus, Brian, Stevie, and Matt will be joined by Chris Chaney to carry the torch for Cliff,” the band writes online.

“The tour will see us play shows across Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France and Ireland this Summer. We can’t wait to see you all out there.”

The Pretty Reckless to Support AC/DC on 2024 PWR Up European Tour

Taylor Momsen and the Pretty Reckless will support AC/DC on the "Hells Bells" band's upcoming 2024 European tour . The news was announced on Monday morning (March 25) when AC/DC shared a poster for their first Euro swing in eight years, which will feature the "Only Love Can Save Me Now" band serving as the only opener on all 24 dates of the stadium outing slated to kick off on May 17 at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

"It's f–king AC/DC. That's it," the band says when asked to describe their excitement about hitting the road with the "Dirty Deeds" icons.

AC/DC's first European tour in nearly a decade will find the band playing with a line-up featuring singer Brian Johnson, guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney replacing longtime bassist Cliff Williams; Williams retired from the band at the conclusion of their 2016  Rock  or Bust tour, returning to the fold briefly for the 2020  Power Up  album. Johnson was temporarily replaced by Guns ‘N Roses singer Axl Rose in 2016 due to Johnson's battle with hearing loss issues.

The AC/DC tour will hit Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland before touching down at London's Wembley Stadium for a pair of shows on July 3 and 7, then moving on to Germany, Slovakia and Paris and winding down at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland on August 17. The European tour is the first run of gigs since AC/CD's long-awaited return to the stage at last year's all-star hard rock Power Trip Festival in Indio, California.

Fan reviews:

By Vanessa, Krefeld, Germany : It was the second Black Ice show I have been to within a month :)! I just can say that it was worth the nearly 2 and a half hour drive from Germany and the whole stress with the tickets. (Got them 3 days before and I had already thought that it wouldn't run!) The show was just awesome, stand next to the "Catwalk", so I saw Angus and Brian at close range :). And the guitar solo during Let There Be Rock was beyond words. So it didn't matter that the sound wasn't so good sometimes, the guitars were a bit too loud and the vocals were a bit too low. Altogether, it was a fantastic show and I hope that they will come again one day:)!!! That I felt absolutely knocked out the next day (I was at home at 3 am and had to get up at 6 am) made no difference I just can say again that it was worth the whole thing!!

By Marek Szurgot, Poland : Wlasnie wybieram sie na koncert do Amsterdamu.Bilet zalatwiam przez firme GETMEIN. Ale chyba zostalem oszukany niestety. Bo jak narazie o bilecie nikt nic nie wie ale pieniadze juz dawno wzieli. Takze nie mam w tej chwili pojecia czy bede obecny na koncercie. Cos w tej firmie GETMEIN kreca. Getmein no good!

By Bjorn, Apeldoorn : I went with my wive to this concert. She isn't an AC/DC fan, but she found the concert amazing. The show, but also the music and especially Angus. I hope they will come back. I'm a fan from the beginning and I will be till I die. Thanks for this great show.

By Peter Paul, Utrecht : The show was alright but the evening was disappointing. The sound on the floor was so bad. If you can't produce a good sound: don't play, people will always remember this. I'm glad that I have seen them in March in Ahoy. One of the best shows I have ever seen.

By René, Overijssel, Holland : What a show, must I say. My first AC/DC show and I'm blown away. The sound (as always) in the Arena isn't that good, but I was on the Arena floor and there the sound was o.k. for me. I hope to see them again soon.

By Arthur, Amsterdam : Good Show! Very loud! Sound not ok, but hey that's where the Amsterdam ArenA is famous for! greetz

By annie greutink, Lochem : For the first time we saw you all on stage. We were very impressed. Hopefully we get an other change to see you all again. Thank you all for a unforgetable evening. Greetings to you all.

By Bartus, Kampen, Holland : it was a great show. The sound wasn't always good but Angus was the man of the evening. Never saw such a long solo when they play let there be rock. For those about to rock......SALUTE

By Macauley, Belgium : One night in Amsterdam called the Arena There was a fabulous rocking band And the music was GOOD The music was LOUD BRIAN turned and he said to the crowd LET THERE BE ROCK !!!! AMAZING

By Davy Claassen, Deurne, Netherlands : One of the greatest shows I have ever been to! When the intro started I got goosebumps and when the band came on it was really amazing! I especially like the let there be rock solo it was really good. And Angus young is just amazing, I wonder where he gets so much energy haha. I hope to see them again sometime.

By helen13, Houston, Texas/USA : What an unbelievable show! The audience was really into it which made it even better. I met some new AC/DC fans--for some it was their first AC/DC concert. I told them they were in for the experience of a lifetime and the guys did not let us down! They were in top form and just rocked us all night long--or at least for about two hours. Highlight for me was Thunderstruck--I had a Texas flag with me and the crowd around me encouraged me to wave it around, but especially during this one. I had some pretty decent seats which helped make this show a bit better for me than the Paris show where we were directly in front of the stage, but given the stage set up, pretty far away. No changes in the song list, so I knew what to expect, but for the newbies around me, they were just as blown away as I was. It's really cool that AC/DC never seems bored with performing their set, amazing how fresh the material seems when the boys rip into each number. Anyone whose ever been to an AC/DC concert knows that with each song, they’re coming for you—guitars and drums blazing. The camera work was way better than in Paris and all the closeups showed each of the band members working hard for us, but at the same time, you could see they were having a great time. Brian was mugging to the crowd in his inimitable way--you could see the crowd surging around the stage every time he came close to them. Angus drove us all nuts, too, his unbelievable guitar work just amazing. A couple of people had told me the sound quality in the Arena was bad, but I didn't hear any problems. It was good and LOUD, but no distortion or cut outs apparent. For both the Paris and Amsterdam shows, Angus played the Let There Be Rock (first) guitar solo on a large square platform at the end of the extension from the stage so that he's about center of the stadium playing field. Then a riser comes up from that platform above the crowd where he amazes us all with his ability to play anywhere. At the end of that portion, a huge explosion of confetti erupts, showering those around the platform. Really cool effect! The downside of knowing the song list is that as each song is played, we're closer to the end of the concert. I really felt that this time--more than in Paris. All the hits had everybody jumping up and down, singing at the top of our lungs, but nothing can top the sequence from Let There Be Rock through For Those About To Rock in terms of pure rock showmanship and bravura. What a fantastic, unbelievable rush! The crowd was wild, cheering non-stop. Just makes you wish you could see them in concert again. My plan is to definitely see them again—come on back to Texas, guys!

By chris van dijk, Vanderbijlpark, South Africa : Big fan of AC/DC since 1978, my first live show of the best band in the world, it was an awesome experience, wish they can have an tour to South Africa, absolutely excellent.
