Amplified Attitude: AC/DC’s Tour as a Fashion Manifesto
In a thunderous crescendo of style and sound, the legendary rock titans AC/DC are poised to electrify the music landscape with their monumental “Power Up Tour,” a sartorial and sonic journey that promises to redefine the boundaries between fashion and raw, unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll.
Picture this: Detroit’s Ford Field, transformed into a pulsating runway where leather, denim, and pure rock attitude collide on April 30th. The band’s return is not just a concert—it’s a cultural moment that transcends mere musical performance and enters the realm of iconic style statement.
With a staggering legacy of over 200 million albums sold since their inception in 1973, AC/DC isn’t just a band—they’re a global fashion phenomenon. Their signature look—black leather, ripped jeans, and an attitude that screams rebellion—has influenced generations of fashion designers and style mavens.
The tour, spanning 13 North American cities, reads like a carefully curated fashion tour de force. From Minneapolis to Cleveland, with glamorous stops in Dallas, Las Vegas, and Chicago, each venue becomes a stage for not just musical performance, but a visual spectacle of rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic.
Headlining the tour are the original rock fashion icons: Brian Johnson, whose signature cap has become as legendary as his vocals, and the eternally youthful Angus Young, whose schoolboy outfit has been a revolutionary fashion statement since the 1970s. Joining them are Stevie Young, Matt Laug, and Chris Chaney—each bringing their unique style to this sartorial symphony. All dates will be opened by The Pretty Reckless. Tickets are available here.

Their latest album, “Power Up,” nominated for Best Rock Album at the 64th Grammy Awards, isn’t just a musical triumph—it’s a testament to their enduring cultural relevance. The album cover alone is a fashion statement, embodying the raw, unfiltered essence of rock ‘n’ roll style.
Supporting act The Pretty Reckless adds another layer of fashion-forward rock energy, promising a night where music and style are inextricably linked. Their presence guarantees that this tour is not just a concert, but a full-throttle fashion experience.
Ford Field, already hosting powerhouse acts like Post Malone and the legendary Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks, is quickly becoming the ultimate fashion-music crossover venue of 2025.
Tickets go on sale this Friday at noon—a moment that fashion and music enthusiasts will mark with the same fervor as a major runway show. This is more than a concert; it’s a cultural moment where fashion, music, and attitude converge.
