AC/ DC - Power Up Tour Heads Into 2026 Stadium Run

AC/DC continue their massive Power Up Tour into 2026, bringing their hard rock show to stadiums across North and South America according to updated tour listings from major promoters and ticket platforms. The run follows European dates including a 2025 stop at Berlin’s Olympiastadion that drew fans from across Germany.

Power Up Tour reaches the Americas

The current stage of the Power Up campaign sees AC/DC returning to large outdoor venues in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico and across the United States and Canada. A detailed list of 2026 dates, including São Paulo, Santiago, Buenos Aires and multiple US cities, has been published in a recent Rolling Stone tour report that outlines the extended schedule.

North American stadiums like MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia are among the final stops of the tour, underlining how the band are still filling arenas more than five decades after forming. Compared with earlier European legs, the 2026 shows focus strongly on markets the group last visited several years ago, giving fans outside Europe a similar large-scale experience to the German stadium dates in 2024 and 2025.

German and European highlights so far

For fans in Germany, the most prominent recent highlight was the Berlin concert on June 30, 2025 at Olympiastadion, part of the European Power Up Tour run that also included Düsseldorf and other major cities. A Berlin-focused fan guide published ahead of the show described the Olympiastadion date as one of the key European stops and listed it within a 12-date stadium leg running from Prague to Edinburgh.

German fan sites tracking AC/DC’s touring activity have also documented earlier Power Up shows in Gelsenkirchen and other cities, where the band played to tens of thousands of people in football stadiums. Setlists from those European nights show a mix of classic tracks like Back in Black and Highway to Hell alongside newer songs from Power Up, giving German audiences a full retrospective of the band’s catalog.

What’s next for AC/DC

As things stand, the Power Up Tour remains the central live focus for AC/DC, with 2026 stadium shows in the Americas scheduled through late September. Fans in Germany currently have no newly announced domestic date for 2026, so those wanting to see the band again may look at nearby European or overseas stops as the tour winds down.

The musical core of Power Up

Musically, the current tour is built around the 2020 album Power Up, the band’s seventeenth studio record and their first full-length release since 2014. The album was issued through Columbia Records and marked the return of singer Brian Johnson and drummer Phil Rudd to the studio lineup after prior health and legal issues had kept them away.

Power Up stays close to AC/DC’s signature sound, centered on Angus Young’s riff-driven guitar work, tight backbeats and Johnson’s rasping vocals. Songs like Shot in the Dark slot into the set alongside classics such as Thunderstruck, with the new material generally placed early in the show before the band leans into its deep back catalog.
