AC/DC Set to Rock Canada with Electrifying 2026 Power Up Tour
Get ready, rock fans — the thunder is rolling back into Canada! Legendary rock band AC/DC has officially announced that it’s bringing its massive Power Up world tour to four major Canadian cities in the summer of 2026. That’s right — the gods of rock ‘n’ roll are set to light up stadiums in Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto , joined by special guests The Pretty Reckless .
The tour, named after the band’s 2020 album Power Up , continues to draw enormous crowds across Europe and North America. Canadian fans, who’ve waited over a decade since the group’s last full-scale tour in the country, are already buzzing with excitement. The first stop will be at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium on August 9, 2026 , a venue that can hold more than 56,000 people. “We’re thrilled to host rock star legends AC/DC at Commonwealth Stadium,” said venue director Heather Seutter, noting how the event will bring in fans from across the country and beyond.

After shaking up Edmonton, the tour rolls into Vancouver’s BC Place on August 13 , then heads east to Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau for a show on September 12 , and finally lands in Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on September 16, 2026 . Tickets for all Canadian dates go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster — and if history is any indication, they’ll sell out in no time.
AC/DC’s connection with Canadian fans runs deep. The band previously played in Edmonton in 2009 and 2015, leaving concertgoers absolutely Thunderstruck . Known for their unmatched energy, screaming guitars, and signature sound, the Australian rock giants have sold over 200 million albums worldwide and influenced generations of musicians.
Founded by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young , AC/DC made their debut back in 1973 at a Sydney nightclub. Their rise was meteoric — by 1980, albums like Highway to Hell and Back in Black had cemented their place in rock history. Although Malcolm Young passed away in 2017 after battling dementia, Angus continues to carry the band’s torch, keeping their legacy alive on stage.
For the Power Up tour, fans will see the iconic lineup featuring Angus Young on lead guitar , Brian Johnson on vocals , Stevie Young on rhythm guitar , Matt Laug on drums , and Chris Chaney on bass . The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 , and even after five decades, their power and presence remain unmatched.
So, if you’re ready to be “shook all night long,” mark your calendars and prepare for one unforgettable summer. AC/DC is back — louder, prouder, and ready to remind everyone why they’re still the undisputed kings of rock ‘n’ roll.
