AC/DC Set to Rock Canada Once Again
Rock and roll legends AC/DC are bringing their electrifying energy back to Canada for the summer of 2026 — and fans are already buzzing. The iconic Australian band announced four massive Canadian stops on their Power Up Tour, named after their 2020 album Power Up, promising a summer of unforgettable anthems and roaring crowds.
The tour will feature special guests The Pretty Reckless, making this a can’t-miss event for classic and modern rock fans alike.
Four Canadian Cities to Feel the Thunder
AC/DC’s Canadian leg kicks off on August 9, 2026, at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium, a 56,400-seat venue ready to host one of rock’s greatest acts.
“We’re thrilled to host rock star legends AC/DC at Commonwealth Stadium,” said Heather Seutter, the stadium’s director. “Events like this draw fans from across Canada and beyond, solidifying Edmonton as a top concert destination.”
The band will then roll into Vancouver’s BC Place on August 13, before heading south for a few U.S. stops. Afterward, they’ll return north for two final shows — Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau on September 12, and Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on September 16, marking their last Canadian date of the tour.
Fans can grab their tickets starting Friday at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.
A Legacy That Still Shakes the Stage
With more than 200 million albums sold worldwide, AC/DC remains one of the most influential rock bands in history. Known for their explosive performances and hard-hitting sound, the band has spent over five decades redefining rock and roll energy.
Founded by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC played their first-ever gig on December 31, 1973, in Sydney, Australia. By 1980, their hit album Highway to Hell had stormed the Billboard Top 25, solidifying their place among rock’s elite.
Although Malcolm Young passed away in 2017 after a long battle with dementia, his legacy continues through the music and the band’s relentless spirit.
The Power Up Tour Lineup
The 2026 Power Up Tour lineup features:
Angus Young – Lead Guitar
Brian Johnson – Vocals
Stevie Young – Rhythm Guitar
Matt Laug – Drums
Chris Chaney – Bass
Together, this powerhouse lineup will deliver the timeless energy that fans have come to expect — from Back in Black to Thunderstruck and beyond.
Still Rocking After 50 Years
AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003, a testament to their lasting impact on music and culture. From stadium anthems to guitar-shredding solos, their sound continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.
So, whether you’ve followed AC/DC since the ’70s or you’re discovering their music for the first time, 2026 is your chance to witness true rock royalty live in action.
