WHAT WENT DOWN
AC/DC opened their Summer 2026 North American leg July 11 at Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte with 21 tracks spanning If You Want Blood to For Those About To Rock *, †. The setlist pulled five songs from Back in Black, multiple Bon Scott–era cuts, and two from Power Up †.
THE DETAILS
- The Charlotte show launched a 17-date stadium run through September 26 in Philadelphia, with The Pretty Reckless on support *, †.
- Back in Black dominated with the title track, Have a Drink on Me, Hells Bells, Shoot to Thrill, and You Shook Me All Night Long †.
- The band performed Demon Fire and Shot in the Dark from the 2020 Power Up album, which hit number one in 21 countries *, †.
- The encore closed with T.N.T. and For Those About To Rock (We Salute You) †.
- AC/DC last played Charlotte in 2008; the Power Up tour has sold out dozens of stadiums across four continents since 2023 *.
THE TAKE
The setlist leans hard on the Brian Johnson catalog while nodding to Bon Scott two days after what would have been his 80th birthday †. Seventeen more stadium dates means the Power Up campaign will have stretched nearly three years by the time Philadelphia wraps.
