AC/DC aren’t just hard rock legends with well over a dozen studio albums to their name: they’ve also got a rep for being one of the best live bands on the planet. Since they were founded just over 50 years ago, AC/DC have played thousands of shows – and now they’re back in London for two more huge gigs.
The Aussie rockers are currently in the midst of their PWR UP tour, which went up for sale back in February and began in May. They’re touring major European cities like Amsterdam, Munich, Vienna, Paris and Dublin, and their London shows at Wembley this week are their only ones confirmed for the UK this year.

What are the reviews saying?
So far the PWR UP tour appears to be a smash hit. The Guardian gave the show four stars, calling it ‘a poignant lesson on the power of rock’n’roll’. The Independent’s review wasn’t as glowing, but the band still received a respectable three stars. The Indie cited some sound issues, but hopefully these will be cleared up before Sunday’s gig.
