AC/DC Adds ‘Final’ Perth Stadium Show to 2025 Australian Tour

AC/DC’s long-awaited Power Up stadium tour just got even bigger, with a second and final Perth show announced today (June 30).
The legendary Aussie rockers will now play Optus Stadium on Monday, Dec. 8, following overwhelming demand for tickets to their originally announced Perth date.
The newly added concert caps off the West Coast leg of their 2025 Australian tour, which now includes nine stadium shows across the country. Since tickets went on sale Thursday, June 26 to high demand, prompting second shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and now Perth.
Produced by TEG Van Egmond, the Power Up tour marks AC/DC’s first national run in nearly a decade. It follows the band’s ARIA No. 1 album Power Up, released in 2020, which marked their sixth No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
Joining the band on the road are ARIA and Rolling Stone Australia Award winners Amyl and the Sniffers, bringing their high-octane punk energy to the lineup as special guests.
Perth’s final date will go on sale via Ticketek, which handles ticketing for all Australian dates except for Adelaide. The additional Optus Stadium show is expected to draw another massive crowd, adding to what has already been one of the most in-demand rock tours in recent memory.
On June 26, Ticketek reported a record-breaking 370,000 tickets sold across all events on its platform, setting a new all-time daily sales record for the company. Of those, more than 320,000 tickets were for AC/DC’s Power Up tour alone, making it the biggest concert onsale day in Ticketek’s 40-plus year history.
The figure smashes the band’s own 2009 benchmark during the Black Ice tour and drove the majority of sales traffic across the platform that day. The remaining ~50,000 tickets were sold for other events including Lightscape, NRL matches, AFL fixtures, and major theatre productions. That feat eclipses the band’s own 2009 Black Ice tour, which previously held the record and ultimately moved over 650,000 tickets nationwide.
AC/DC last toured Australia and New Zealand in 2015 for their Rock or Bust tour, selling more than 520,000 tickets across 11 dates, including shows in Auckland and Wellington.
Tickets are on sale now via Ticketek (except for Adelaide, via Ticketmaster). Limited availability remains.
