MINNEAPOLIS – Internationally known Australian rockers AC/DC are Minnesota-bound for the first time in nearly a decade. In their 51st year, the band will kick off the North American “POWER UP Tour 2025” at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium on April 10, 2025. Tickets go on sale on Dec. 6 at noon.
The band last visited the Twin Cities on Valentine’s Day 2016, when they thunderstruck St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.
The band has endured hardships and tragedy since that visit, with lead singer Brian Johnson departing the band soon after due to concerns about his hearing. More than a year after the Xcel stop, rhythm guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young died from complications of dementia.
Johnson has since returned to the stage and will be joined in Minneapolis by the band’s only surviving original member: the schoolboy-uniformed guitar god Angus Young. His nephew, Stevie Young, will be on rhythm guitar duty.
In the past, AC/DC played concerts at Fargodome in Fargo in April 2001, January 2009, and February 2016.
