This concert is part of the band’s “Power Up Tour”, which marks their return to North America for the first time in nine years. Following a hiatus that included significant challenges, this tour promises to bring high-energy performances to fans across the continent.
The tour will commence on April 10, 2025, at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and will include a total of 13 shows during the North American leg.

The band, comprising members Angus Young, Phil Rudd, Cliff Williams, Brian Johnson, and Stevie Young, has a storied legacy, having sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Their album “Back in Black” remains one of the highest-selling albums in U.S. history, exemplifying the band’s enduring appeal and influence in the rock music scene.
Tickets for the Chicago concert are currently sold out on Ticketmaster, reflecting the immense demand for the show. However, fans still have the opportunity to grab resale tickets through various platforms, including SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and StubHub. Resale prices for these tickets start at approximately $206 on StubHub, $268 on SeatGeek, and $272 on Vivid Seats, indicating a strong market for the concert.
The “Power Up Tour” initially began to promote AC/DC’s 2020 album, “POWER UP”. The album was released following a lengthy series of difficulties, including the lead vocalist’s hearing condition in 2016, which led to a pause in the band’s touring schedule. Overcoming these obstacles, the band is now ready to energize fans once again with live performances.
Following the conclusion of their North American leg in Cleveland, AC/DC will transition to an international tour, featuring 15 shows across Europe in cities such as Prague and Berlin. This extensive tour reflects the band’s desire to reconnect with their global fanbase after a challenging few years.
As the concert date approaches, anticipation continues to build for fans in Chicago and across the United States. The return of AC/DC to the stage is set to be a monumental event in 2025, contributing to the legacy of one of rock and roll’s most iconic bands.
