The legendary band is touring for their 2020 album, POWER UP, which debuted at number one on the ARIA Chart and in more than 20 countries worldwide. The album's success was remarkable, earning the band their third number one on the Billboard 200 and earning nominations for three Grammy Awards. AC/DC's last Australian tour was in 2015, making this return long-awaited by many.

Tickets for the Australian leg went on sale on Thursday, 26 June, with staggered times to manage the high volume of buyers. Almost immediately they were overwhelmed with demand and decided to add additional shows.
