Eager fans have been warned to prepare for a ticket scramble as iconic Australian rock legends AC/DC gear up for their long-awaited homecoming tour.
The band announced their Power Up tour on Monday, which will see the group light up stadiums across the country starting from November 12.
But it won’t be easy for concertgoers, with Ticketek issuing a warning ahead of the highly anticipated sale, advising fans to be up bright and early to join its virtual queue if they hope to secure tickets.
The rock legends will make their long-awaited return home following a massive European tour in 2024, which saw two million tickets sold across 24 shows.
This marks AC/DC's first performance on Australian soil since their 2015 Rock or Bust stadium tour.
The upcoming Power Up tour shares its name with the band's 18th album released in 2020, which scored multiple Grammy Award nominations.
While the tour celebrates their latest work, fans can expect to hear iconic favourites like 'Back in Black' 'Hells Bells' 'Highway to Hell' and 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'.
Original band member Angus Young will lead the charge, joined by long-standing vocalist Brian Johnson, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.
Joining AC/DC on tour will be special guests Amyl and the Sniffers, the Australian rock band that’s had a stand out year, taking home Song of the Year at the 2025 APRA Music Awards.
Tickets will go on sale on Thursday at staggered local times, with Sydney from 9am, followed by Brisbane at 11am, Melbourne at 1pm and Perth at 1pm (AWST).
Ticketek has warned that the sale will be huge and urged fans to be fully prepared when purchasing tickets.
To improve their chances, the company shared several tips: use only one device and one browser to access the sale, avoid refreshing your browser while in the queue, and be ready to check out quickly.
Ticketek also advised ensuring your bank won’t block the transaction by checking your spending limits or pre-authorising the purchase in advance.
Ticket prices start at $132.45 for B-Reserve seating, rising to $203.80 for A-Reserve and $407.70 for Ultimate A-Reserve, while General Admission Rear costs $203.80 and GA Front is priced at $305.75.
The Ticketek lounge will open one hour before tickets are released, with fans limited to eight tickets per transaction.
The tour kicks off at Melbourne's MCG on November 12, before heading to Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 21.
The band will head south to Adelaide on November 30, where they will perform at the Supercars bp Adelaide Grand Final. Tickets for the Adelaide show will be available through Ticketmaster.
Next up will be Perth on December 4, before the tour wraps up at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on December 14.
