Rock legends AC/DC announce huge Scottish gig to close new European tour

ROCK legends AC/DC have announced a huge Scottish gig in their only UK stop in an upcoming European tour.

The Aussie rockers will be playing stadiums across Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, France, Estonia, and more across the summer of 2025.

They will close their 12-date “Power Up” tour with a gig at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield stadium on Thursday, August 21.

Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Friday, February 7.

AC/DC founding brothers Malcolm and Angus Young were both born in Glasgow before emigrating to Australia in 1963.

Malcolm passed away in 2017, but he has song-writing credits on all of the tracks on AC/DC’s chart-topping 2020 album Power Up – for which the tour is named.

Angus has said that the songs were written with his brother before his death and that the album serves as a tribute.

AC/DC's current line-up in an image for their 2020 Power Up album (Image: PA) AC/DC’s current line-up includes Angus, vocalist Brian Johnson – who was with the band from 1980 to 2016 – rhythm guitarist Stevie Young – Angus and Malcolm’s nephew, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.

Johnson joined the band after the death of Bon Scott, AC/DC’s original frontman who was also born in Scotland.

Back in Black, AC/DC’s seventh album and their first with Johnson on vocals, became one of the best-selling albums of all time.

The band will also complete a US tour in the spring of this year.

You can find more information and get tickets on their official website.
