AC/DC is officially on the way to Columbus this summer, with the legendary hard rock band scheduled to play Ohio Stadium on Wednesday, July 15. The show is set to begin at 7 p.m., with The Pretty Reckless serving as the opening act. Brian Johnson, who rejoined the band for the Power Up run, will handle lead vocals.
Show Details And Lineup
Live Nation’s event listing confirms the core details: the July 15 date, the 7 p.m. start time, and The Pretty Reckless as support. As reported by The Columbus Dispatch, the band announced added dates on Instagram when the Power Up tour was extended into a stadium leg. The Dispatch also reported ticket prices ranging from about $65 to as much as $4,700 for premium packages.
Where The Power Up Tour Started
The Power Up tour launched in Europe on May 17, 2024, when AC/DC opened the stadium run in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, a kickoff covered in set list and show reports. Coverage of the tour's launch appeared in outlets such as Ultimate Classic Rock. The band’s Power Up album, which the trek supports, was released on November 13, 2020, according to Wikipedia.
Tickets, Traffic and Getting There
Resale marketplaces and ticket roundups currently offer the clearest view of prices and availability, and Cleveland.com has a rundown of where to look for deals and what to expect. Ohio Stadium’s site lists the venue address and transit details for fans heading to Woody Hayes Drive, and the stadium advises arriving early or using COTA or shuttle services to avoid campus-area congestion. With a capacity of more than 100,000 for football, stadium shows can reshape downtown traffic and lodging patterns, so plan accordingly.
This stop is shaping up as one of the summer's biggest music nights in Columbus, drawing fans from across the Midwest and likely filling area bars and hotels. If you are going, plan travel and lodging early, since stadium shows here can be logistically heavy on game days, and the venue suggests checking official event pages for parking and entry rules.
