Rock and roll is alive and louder than ever — AC/DC has officially announced a massive tour stop in Detroit as part of their ongoing 2025 global tour, and fans in the Motor City are already buzzing. The legendary band, fronted by the ever-energetic Angus Young, will take the stage at Ford Field on May 14, 2025, for what promises to be an unforgettable night of high-voltage rock anthems and classic guitar-shredding madness.
Detroit: Prepare for a Thunderous Return
AC/DC’s return to Detroit marks a major moment for the city’s rock scene. It’s been nearly a decade since the band last performed there, and with this newly announced tour date, the band is bringing back the fire — and perhaps louder than ever.
The setlist is expected to be a powerful mix of timeless hits like “Hells Bells”, “Shoot to Thrill”, “You Shook Me All Night Long”, and “Highway to Hell”, along with fresh material from their latest album. Fans can also count on Angus Young stealing the spotlight with his legendary schoolboy outfit, duck walks, and wild solos that defy age and time.
Angus Young: Still the Beating Heart of AC/DC
At 70, Angus Young remains the core of AC/DC’s live identity. His guitar tone is as fierce as ever, and his on-stage energy continues to electrify arenas around the world. In a recent statement, Young shared his excitement:
“Detroit has always rocked hard with us — it’s one of those cities that just gets it. We’re coming with full amps, full charge, and we’re ready to shake the walls down!”
With longtime members Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams, and Phil Rudd back in the lineup, the chemistry on stage is expected to be tighter than ever. The band is reportedly in top form, delivering stadium-sized shows that feel like a blast from their prime — only louder.
A Global Tour with Classic AC/DC Power
The 2025 tour follows the success of AC/DC’s reformation and the strong fan response to Power Up, their most recent studio album. Critics have hailed the shows as “pure, unapologetic rock therapy” and praised the band for staying true to its roots while still thrilling crowds around the world.
Detroit is one of the key U.S. dates on the tour, alongside stops in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. Given the band’s legacy in the city and the size of the venue, tickets are expected to sell out almost instantly when they go on sale next week.
Rock Fans, Mark Your Calendars
May 14, 2025 — it’s a date no Detroit rocker will want to miss. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a new recruit to the AC/DC army, Ford Field is the place to be for a night of face-melting riffs, pounding rhythms, and a live energy that only a band like AC/DC can deliver.
So lace up your boots, grab your denim, and get ready to feel the thunder — because Angus Young and AC/DC are about to bring Detroit back in black.
