AC/DC Returns to Edmonton on August 9
Legendary hard rock band AC/DC will perform at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium on August 9, marking their first show at the venue since 2015. The concert is part of the group’s ongoing Power Up world tour, inspired by their latest studio album.
A Year of Rock in Edmonton
With Rush and Foo Fighters already drawing huge crowds, Edmonton can officially be called the year’s rock capital. AC/DC’s return solidifies the city’s 2026 musical lineup, promising an unforgettable summer for fans.
Classic Hits and Powerful Memories
Formed in Sydney in 1973, AC/DC plans to unleash a set of their most iconic anthems, including Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, Shoot to Thrill, Hells Bells, Whole Lotta Rosie, Highway to Hell, Thunderstruck, and It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll). Over their career, the band has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.
“Their summer stop is the first time they’ve played the Elks’ gigantic open-air venue since 2015, when blinking devil horns filled the streets after the thunderous show.”
Lineup and Legacy
The enduring lineup features guitarist Angus Young and singer Brian Johnson, who replaced Bon Scott after his passing in 1980. That change led to one of history’s best-selling albums, Back in Black, which remains a benchmark in rock music.
Ticket Information
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. through acdc.com/tour. The band’s itinerary leaves space for more shows if demand surges, with their next stop scheduled in Vancouver on August 13.
