AC/DC’s upcoming “Power Up” tour is shaping up to be one of the biggest in the band’s history.
Tickets for the European leg of the tour have gone on sale, and fans snatched up 1.5 million of them in a single day, says Chris Dalton of management company CAA. “We believed it was going to be one of the biggest tours ever, but you just never know until you put tickets on sale,” he says. “I woke up at 2:30 or 3 in the morning and Europe had already opened — and we’d sold out some of the shows already. They sold 1.5 million tickets in one day. It’s staggering and it gives you great faith because they’re very particular in how they conduct their business.”
Considering the number of tickets that have already been sold, Dalton says he hopes to keep AC/DC on the road as long as possible. “Obviously the goal is to hopefully have them continue if they enjoy it and it works well — to try to keep them out in ’25, ’26, ’27, however long they want to go,” he says. “But we gotta get through Europe first.”
