In a new post on X, The Pretty Reckless’ Taylor Momsen hoped ‘Spirits of Rock’ would bring AC/DC to America.
“Of ‘Spirits of Rock,’ I pray to you, please bring AC/DC to America. Rock Gods, and please have the Pretty Reckless open for them,” the singer said in a video message.
After seeing the news that AC/DC will tour the US on her phone, Momsen added, “It worked. We’re going on tour with AC/DC baby. Tickets go on sale Friday. Make sure you get them before they’re gone. It’s gonna be f*cking epic.”
So, Taylor’s prayers came true as AC/DC recently announced their North American tour for 2025. The band will tour the U.S. for the first time in nine years. The ‘Power Up’ stadium tour, named after their 2020 album, will start in Minneapolis.
The band’s lineup includes Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Stevie Young, Matt Laug, and Chris Chaney. They will visit cities like Detroit, Las Vegas, and Chicago before ending in Cleveland in late May.
Still, fans are questioning Brian Johnson’s singing ability. They have mixed opinions about it. “I mean, isn’t Brian mostly deaf at this point? I’m surprised he’s still touring at all,” a fan wrote on Reddit.
Another fan said, “The lead singer is near deaf. He’s been told he cannot play ‘stadium size venues’ because the amplification necessary would certainly finish off his hearing. So I’m extremely curious what venues they will play.”
“Honestly, I saw them at Wembley last year and was very unimpressed. Brian’s voice was buried so far in the mix that he was pretty much unintelligible for 90% of the show,” one other person shared in their comments.
Another fan added, “Man I’m mixed. On one hand, I’m well aware that they’re past their prime and this is going to be an expensive ticket. On the other, AC/DC is literally the last band on my bucket list.”
AC/DC toured this summer in Europe and the U.K. after an eight-year break. During their last tour in 2016, Brian Johnson had to leave because of hearing problems, and Axl Rose replaced him.
