In a significant announcement, legendary Australian rock band AC/DC revealed that they will perform in Minneapolis for the first time in nearly ten years on April 10, 2025. The concert will take place at the U.S. Bank Stadium, marking the start of their North American "POWER UP Tour 2025." This event comes as a welcome return to the Twin Cities after their last performance on Valentine's Day 2016 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The lead singer, Brian Johnson, faced health challenges that kept him from performing for a period, but he has made a comeback and will join the band's lineup alongside Angus Young, the only surviving original member.AC/DC is undoubtedly one of the most influential and enduring rock bands, having celebrated their 51st year. Their legacy includes iconic records, with their 1980 release "Back in Black" being one of the best-selling albums in music history, having recently achieved 27x platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. This accomplishment is particularly notable, as it was the band's first album with Brian Johnson after the tragic passing of their previous lead singer, Bon Scott, earlier that same year. The band has experienced significant loss over the years, most tragically with the death of Malcolm Young, a co-founder and rhythm guitarist, following complications due to dementia. Nevertheless, AC/DC continues to rally their fans and make new memories together. The "POWER UP Tour 2025" will not only include Minneapolis but also a dozen other cities across North America, such as Vancouver, Las Vegas, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Nashville, and Chicago. This tour is anticipated to captivate fans with energetic performances, celebrating their extensive musical catalog and the tribute to their late band members, making it a historic moment for both the band and their dedicated followers.
