AC/DC are heading home for Christmas. The band have announced a run of five Australian dates in November and December, the latest addition to a tour that began in May 2024 and has already included a European leg and a recently completed North American schedule.

The new run of dates is announced as the band prepare to launch a second run of European shows, and kicks off at Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 12. After visiting Sydney, Adelaide and Perth, the schedule will wrap up on December 14 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium. Support will come from Aussie punks Amyl & The Sniffers. Full dates below.

Tickets will go on sale this Thursday (June 26), with ticket prices ranging from AU$132.45 (B-reserve seating) to $305.75 (GA front standing).

AC/DC remain typically tight-lipped about their plans. While many fans have suggested that the band's final ever shows would be in Australia, there is no confirmation of any such plans, nor has the PWR⚡️UP tour yet visited South America.

The current AC/DC lineup, which kicks off this year's run of European tour dates in the Czech Republic on June 26, features Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney.
