More details of the much-rumoured impending AC/DC Australian dates appear to have been leaked out of Adelaide with FiveAA’s Leigh Forrest hearing that as well as the Melbourne and Adelaide dates, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth will be included.
Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece confirmed to 3AW breakfast that discussions are underway in Melbourne for an event in November to set up the 50th anniversary of the ‘It’s a Long Way To The Top’ video in February 2026 and in doing so effectively confirmed the tour is happening.
FiveAA’s Leigh Forrest sourced a 30 November date for AC/DC aligned with the Supercars. According to leigh’s source, it looking like AC/DC will be playing the night after the already announced Lenny Kravitz event (on November 30) but not at the same venue as Lenny. Leigh hears a larger space is being looked at to avoid the overcrowding issues they had with Robbie Williams.
Multiple dates for Sydney, Perth and Brisbane are also expected to be announced with two final shows being for Brisbane speculated for mid-December.
Nothing has been confirmed so this is all speculation at this point. Considering Melbourne’s Lord Mayor has gone on the record on 3AW and said plans are underway for a November event around the tour, I guess we are just all now waiting for the official word from the promoter.
AC/DC’s most recent show was in Cleveland. Before Australia the European tour will commence in Prague, Czech Republic on 26 June.
What to expect? AC/DC’s show doesn’t sway much from night to night. A song or two may be juggled but this will effectively be the setlist:
