There are few things more sacred in Aussie rock than an AC/DC stadium tour.
And if the giant, glowing lightning bolt spotted near the MCG is anything to go by, it looks like the gods of thunder are gearing up for one hell of a comeback.
Spotted by eagle-eyed app Whatslively and plastered across the old Nylex Plastics silo in Cremorne (just a stone’s throw from the ‘G), AC/DC’s iconic bolt lit up the night in orange, red, yellow and green, sending the internet—and every dad in a band tee—into a frenzy. A tour announcement is reportedly just days away, and if the whisper mill is right, the band will be taking over Melbourne’s MCG in November for two massive nights of pure chaos.
Trusted promoters are already calling the odds at 100%, and Whatslively have pegged an official announcement for early next week. The tour is tipped to be part of the band’s ongoing PWR UP run and could also see them headline Adelaide’s Supercars Grand Final. Not bad for a bunch of blokes who haven’t toured the country since 2015.
If that last run is anything to go by—where they blew the roofs off Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth—then this is about to be the biggest homecoming tour of the year. Possibly the decade. You don’t just see AC/DC live, you survive it. It’s a rite of passage—just as sweaty, deafening and joyfully dumb as it should be.
The lightning bolt doesn’t lie. Neither does a crowd full of punters who’ve been hanging out for a reason to dig out the cutoff denim and relive their youth with 40,000 mates screaming Back in Black in unison.
So yeah, get your hells bells on, the boys are coming home.
