AC/DC officially launched the North American leg of their Power Up Tour on July 11 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, delivering a career-spanning 21-song set packed with classic anthems, fan favorites, and a handful of tracks from their latest album, Power Up.
The legendary rockers wasted no time setting the tone, opening with “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” before rolling into staples like “Back in Black,” “Thunderstruck,” “Highway to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” and “T.N.T.” The night concluded in signature fashion with “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).”
While longtime hits dominated the evening, AC/DC also worked in newer material with “Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark,” giving fans a taste of Power Up alongside deep cuts such as “Sin City,” “Jailbreak,” and “Riff Raff.” As expected, “Let There Be Rock” served as the extended showcase for Angus Young, closing the main set with one of the band’s signature guitar workouts.
