Rock legends AC/DC are firing up their amps for a massive stadium tour, marking their first spellbinding jaunt across the United States in nine years, with a scheduled stop at Gillette Stadium on May 4, 2025. The announcement made today promises an electrifying showcase of the band's hard-hitting classics and newer material from their 2020 album "Power Up," as reported by NBC Boston.

Fans of the storied rockers can scramble for tickets beginning this Friday, an opportunity to witness the group's persistent energy and crowd-pleasing anthems sliced through the stadium's atmosphere. The tour will launch in Minneapolis on April 10, 2025, according to CBS News Boston, making its way through iconic venues such as the Rose Bowl in California and wrapping up in Cleveland, OH on May 28, 2025. The Gillette Stadium stop, once home to a 2015 AC/DC concert that rocked Foxboro, is part of a 13-date roll call stampeding through the country.

AC/DC's enduring legacy, powered by over 200 million albums sold worldwide—including the iconic "Back in Black"—continues to draw multigenerational crowds. The current lineup features rock stalwarts: Angus Young on lead guitar, Brian Johnson's unmistakable vocals, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, Matt Laug on drums, and Chris Chaney on bass. The band has persevered despite the loss of guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young in 2017 after a battle with dementia.

Alongside the rock titans, Gillette Stadium will host other notable performances in 2025, including Post Malone with Jelly Roll on May 31 and Coldplay, set for a two-night gig on July 15 and 16 that teases a "mystery guest" as part of their Music of the Spheres world tour. Details on these shows and more, such as Shakira's performance at Fenway Park on May 29 and My Chemical Romance on September 7, are gradually trickling in, promising a year replete with live music for Boston fans.
