AC/DC may reveal plans for a spring/summer 2025 North American tour by the end of the week.
Several AC/DC fan sites reported that a Facebook event page for AC/DC’s April 11, 2025, concert at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis appeared earlier today but was quickly taken down. Before it was removed, the page mentioned that tickets would go on sale this Friday, November 15.
Fans also discussed it on Reddit. “Looks like they’re getting ready to roll them out – Rolling Stones did something similar last year where they randomly posted a date on Facebook. I guess testing it,” a person wrote.
Other fans wanted AC/DC to play in other places, including Rockville, Pittsburgh, Maine, and Inglewood.
AC/DC played the last concert of their ‘Power Up’ European tour on August 17, 2024, at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. This tour was the first with their new lineup: singer Brian Johnson, guitarists Angus and Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.
This was also AC/DC’s first tour since their return at the 2023 Power Trip festival in Indio, California. Their previous tour in 2015-2016 earned $180 million and sold 2,310,061 tickets, according to Pollstar.
Laug has played with artists like Alanis Morissette, Alice Cooper, Slash’s Snakepit, and Vasco Rossi. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles, where he became a popular studio drummer. In 2001, he toured with Slash’s Snakepit, supporting AC/DC.
When AC/DC announced Laug would join them for the Power Trip lineup, they didn’t explain why longtime drummer Phil Rudd was absent, even though Rudd played on their 2020 album, ‘Power Up.’
Rudd was removed from AC/DC in 2015 after receiving home detention in New Zealand for threatening to kill and drug possession. Chris Slade, AC/DC’s drummer from 1989-1994, replaced him on the ‘Rock Or Bust’ tour.
Rudd, who has played on nearly all of AC/DC’s albums, was reportedly arrested after his anger over the promotion of his 2014 solo album ‘Head Job’ led him to threaten his assistant.
AC/DC later postponed 10 North American tour dates in 2016 after singer Brian Johnson was advised to stop performing to prevent total hearing loss. Axl Rose stepped in as a guest vocalist for the rest of the tour.
