AC/DC has kicked off the 2026 North American leg of its 'Power Up' tour with a performance on July 11 at Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The show marked the first stop of an 18-date trek that will span the United States, with additional dates scheduled in Columbus, Madison, San Antonio, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Edmonton, Vancouver, Atlanta, Houston, South Bend, St.

Louis, Montreal, Toronto, East Rutherford, and Philadelphia.

The band opened the 21-song set with 'If You Want Blood (You've Got It)' and delivered a setlist featuring classics including 'Back In Black,' 'Thunderstruck,' 'Highway To Hell,' 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,' 'You Shook Me All Night Long,' and 'T.N.T.,' concluding with 'For Those About To Rock (We Salute You).' The performance also included two tracks from the band's latest album, 'Power Up': 'Demon Fire' and 'Shot In The Dark,' both of which were played early in the set.

The tour marks the second stretch of U.S.

dates on the 'Power Up' tour, following a successful 13-city run across North America in the spring of 2025, which concluded on May 28 in Cleveland, Ohio at Huntington Bank Field.

Support for the 2026 North American leg comes from THE PRETTY RECKLESS.

The 'Power Up' world tour, named after AC/DC's 2020 album that reached No.

1 in 21 countries, began with the band's return to the stage at Power Trip in California in 2023 and has since sold out dozens of stadiums across four continents.

Following the North American leg, AC/DC will return to Europe for 12 dates across 10 countries beginning June 26, 2025 in Prague, Czech Republic, including its first-ever show in Estonia and a return to Scotland for the first time in a decade.

The 2024 'Power Up' European tour was the first with the band's new touring lineup, which includes longtime singer Brian Johnson, founding member and lead guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young (who joined in 2014), drummer Matt Laug (who joined in 2023), and former JANE'S ADDICTION bassist Chris Chaney (who joined in 2024, replacing Cliff Williams, who retired after the 2016 'Rock Or Bust' tour)."
