Denver turned into one massive rock choir Tuesday night as AC/DC stormed into Empower Field at Mile High on its Power Up tour. The veteran rockers lit up the stadium with pyrotechnics, Angus Young’s trademark schoolboy strut on guitar and a crowd that gladly handled backup-vocal duties on just about every chorus.
Tour stop and show basics
The Denver date was billed as a 7 p.m. start at Empower Field at Mile High, according to Ticketmaster. The stop is part of AC/DC’s Power Up Tour, as outlined on the band’s official site, with Live Nation and venue listings backing up the same showtime and ticket information ahead of the concert.
Transit and timing
The Regional Transportation District prepped for the onslaught of black T-shirts and devil horns by adding rail cars to the C, E, W and N lines and urging riders to map out their trips in advance, according to RTD. The agency’s advisory also spelled out last-train departures from Empower Field to keep fans from getting stranded: C Line at 11:53 p.m., E Line at 12:01 a.m. and W Line at 11:56 p.m.
Pre-show pop-up and downtown activations
An official PWR/UP pop-up at BrewDog ran through show day, touting a fan preview, free-entry windows and limited Denver-branded merch on the tour’s pop-up site. The Downtown Denver Partnership also highlighted the BrewDog activation at 3950 Wynkoop St., calling out photo-ready props, giveaways and more merchandise options for fans rolling in early.
Lineup, tickets and what to expect
According to both Live Nation and Ticketmaster, The Pretty Reckless is on opening duties for the Denver date, with Ticketmaster’s venue page laying out parking details and arrival tips for the night. Pre-show notes and tour write-ups point to a full stadium-scale run through AC/DC’s biggest hits and roughly a two-hour concert window for fans inside the bowl.
Photos and local reaction
Local outlets captured the scene from all angles, with a photo gallery from 9News showing off pre-show lines and packed crowd shots. Ahead of the stop, Denver7 ran preview coverage and local reaction pieces as downtown bars, pop-up queues and tailgate pockets helped turn the concert into a citywide rock moment.
