AC/DC are taking their Power Up era back on the road in a big way. According to a Business Insider tour guide dated February 3, 2026, the band have lined up a 2026 stadium run across South and North America as part of their ongoing Power Up Tour.
Power Up Tour stretches into late 2026
The 2026 leg begins in South America, with AC/DC scheduled to play Estádio MorumBIS in São Paulo on February 24, 2026 and Parque Estadio Nacional in Santiago on March 11 and March 15, 2026, as outlined in a Business Insider tour schedule for the Power Up Tour. The Business Insider tour guide also notes further Latin American dates including Buenos Aires and Mexico City.
From July 11, 2026, the focus shifts to a long North American stadium run. The same schedule lists shows at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on July 11, Ohio Stadium in Columbus on July 15 and Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on July 19, 2026, before further US and Canadian stops through late September 2026.
Stadium route and what it means for German fans
The 2026 Power Up Tour route underlines how AC/DC are keeping their touring profile at stadium level, similar to their German dates in 2025 that included venues such as Messe Karlsruhe, as documented on the band’s official tour archive. The official AC/DC tour archive lists a show in Karlsruhe on August 17, 2025, reflecting how Germany has remained a key stop on the Power Up campaign.
Against this backdrop, the 2026 American leg can be seen as a continuation of the same large-scale approach, with US stadiums like Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, plus Canadian venues such as Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and Rogers Stadium in Toronto all appearing on the itinerary in late summer 2026 in the Business Insider overview.
