The now-classic rock band AC/DC will go on tour in the United States for the first time in nine years with the 2025 Power Up North American Tour, which will include a stop at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on April 14.

The limited 13-city stadium trek will take place in April and May, starting in Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 10 and ending in Cleveland, Ohio on May 28.

Arlington is currently the only Texas city scheduled on the tour.

It is named after the Australian band's latest album, Power Up, which was released in 2020. The European leg of the tour took place throughout summer 2024.

Power Up went to No. 1 in 21 countries, including the United States. It was only the third time they've had a No. 1 album in the U.S., following For Those About to Rock We Salute You in 1981 and Black Ice in 2008.

Although AC/DC formed in 1973, 2025 will mark the 50th anniversary of their first two albums, High Voltage and T.N.T. The band's eighth album, 1980's Back in Black, remains the bestselling album by any band, with over 50 million sold.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Friday, December 6 at 12 pm at acdc.com/tour.

CONCERT NEWS

George Strait is back with new Texas shows worth a road trip from Dallas

King of Country George Strait surprised fans, out of the blue clear sky, with news of a two-night engagement at Austin’s Moody Center on April 9 and 11. Then he added two more in Austin, on May 15 and 16.

The Moody Center series is Strait's first public performance since 2024, when his College Station show set a new record for the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history. Since then, he has only appeared at an intimate benefit in Boerne’s Estancia at Thunder Valley following July 2025’s devastating Fourth of July.

Strait is best known for country standards like “Amarillo by Morning” and “You Look So Good in Love,” making him one of the best-selling musical artists of all time regardless of genre. He’ll be promoting his latest album, Cowboys and Dreamers, but will no doubt pepper the show with a few of his greatest hits. ("Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind?")

Strait is no stranger to the Austin arena. He was Moody’s very first headliner when it debuted in April 2022, accompanied by Willie Nelson & Family and Randy Rogers Band. This time, he’s bringing along country up-and-comer (and fellow South Texan) William Beckmann for the April shows. In May, Strait will be joined on stage by singer-songwriter Carter Faith.

Presale tickets for the April Moody Center shows are open as of Monday, January 26, using code TAKEMETOTEXAS. The general sale begins Friday, January 30, at 10 am via Ticketmaster.

Presale tickets for the May Moody Center shows will open Wednesday, January 28, using the code TAKEMETOTEXAS. The general sale begins Friday, January 30, at 10 am via Ticketmaster.

Austin's a shorter road trip from Dallas, but if you miss out on those shows, hope is not lost. King George will also be performing two nights at Lubbock's Jones AT&T Stadium on April 24 and 25, supported by Miranda Lambert and Zach Top.
