Alright, Atlanta, get ready to feel the thunder because AC/DC is bringing their legendary rock and roll energy to our city! The iconic band is hitting Mercedes-Benz Stadium on August 27, 2026, for their Power Up Tour, and trust me, you do not want to miss this. This is the kind of show that reminds you why rock music is eternal.
AC/DC, those Australian legends, have been cranking out their signature hard rock and blues rock sound since 1973. Think electric guitar riffs, powerful vocals, and a stage presence that just screams rock and roll. With iconic members like Angus Young, known for his schoolboy uniform and blistering guitar solos, and the distinctive voice of Brian Johnson, they have given us anthems like “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell,” and “Thunderstruck.” These are the tunes that have defined generations and are guaranteed to get the whole stadium on its feet.
The Power Up Tour celebrates their 2020 album of the same name, which was a powerful tribute to founding guitarist Malcolm Young’s legacy. This tour is no small potatoes, honey. It is a full-on stadium spectacle, complete with all the pyrotechnics, the famous Hells Bell, and cannons you would expect from a band of their caliber. Plus, you are in for an extra treat because The Pretty Reckless is confirmed as the opening act for all the North American dates.
And where better to host such a monumental event than our very own Mercedes-Benz Stadium? Located right in downtown Atlanta, this place is a marvel. Opened in 2017, it is not just home to the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC, but it is also known for its stunning retractable roof that opens like a camera shutter and a massive 360-degree halo video board. It has hosted major events like the Super Bowl, College Football Playoff National Championship, and the SEC Championship, so it is definitely equipped to handle the sheer force of AC/DC.
This North American leg of the Power Up Tour is a big deal, marking AC/DC’s first full-scale trek in the region in nearly a decade. They are hitting stadiums across the U.S. and Canada from July through September 2026, and Atlanta is one of those special stops. So, if you are ready to be thunderstruck and experience a night of legendary rock and roll, make sure you are at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on August 27, 2026.
