In a stunning move that’s left rock fans reeling with excitement, legendary Australian rock band AC/DC has announced plans to release a brand-new album in early 2025. This will mark their first studio album since 2014’s Rock or Bust, and fans are already buzzing about the prospect of fresh material from the band that defined hard rock for generations.
But that’s not all. Alongside the album news, AC/DC also revealed plans for a major global tour set to span 2025 and 2026, hitting cities around the world. The band has always been known for their high-energy performances, and this tour promises to bring their signature electrifying show to even more fans than ever before.
A Long-Awaited Return
AC/DC’s upcoming album is shrouded in mystery, but early reports suggest it will be a mix of classic riffs, thunderous drums, and the unmistakable vocals of Brian Johnson, who rejoined the band for Rock or Bust after a brief hiatus. Fans are already speculating on the album’s title, its musical direction, and whether it will feature any guest appearances from past collaborators.
Since their formation in 1973, AC/DC has built an unparalleled legacy of rock anthems, with hits like Back in Black, Highway to Hell, and You Shook Me All Night Long becoming staples of the genre. Their signature sound—raucous, raw, and relentlessly energetic—has earned them legions of devoted followers worldwide.
Global Tour Highlights
The 2025-2026 global tour will see AC/DC performing in major cities across North America, Europe, and Australia, with dates likely to be added in Asia and South America as well. Known for their larger-than-life stage presence, fans can expect a show filled with massive pyrotechnics, high-octane performances, and, of course, the band’s most iconic tracks.
The tour will also feature new material from the upcoming album, giving fans a rare opportunity to experience the music live for the very first time. While specific dates are still being finalized, the tour promises to be one of the biggest rock events in years.
What Fans Are Saying
Fans are already expressing their excitement online, with many taking to social media to share their anticipation for the album and tour. “AC/DC never fails to deliver. I’ve been waiting for this moment for years,” said one fan on Twitter, while another added, “The news of a new album and tour makes 2025 even more epic!”
The announcement is a welcome surprise, especially after the band’s brief period of uncertainty in recent years, including the temporary departure of Johnson due to hearing issues and the tragic passing of founding member Malcolm Young in 2017. Despite these challenges, AC/DC has managed to rally and stay at the top of their game.
A New Era for AC/DC
While many fans feared the band might call it quits after losing some key members, AC/DC’s resilience continues to prove that they’re not going anywhere. With a fresh album and an extensive world tour on the horizon, it’s clear that AC/DC is ready to rock harder than ever before.
Stay tuned for more details as the album release and tour dates approach, and get ready to witness one of the greatest rock bands of all time returning to the stage once again.
