Canada, prepare to be thunderstruck.

Australian hard rock legends AC/DC are visiting four Canadian cities as part of their 2026 Power Up tour of the Americas.

Named for their latest studio album, the tour will make 21 stops at some of the largest stadiums and venues across North and South America. If you want to be shook all night long, the four Canadian dates will be at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium on Aug. 9, Vancouver’s BC Place on Aug. 13 and Montreal’s Parc Jean Drapeau on Sept. 12 before the tour takes the highway to hell to Toronto’s Rogers Stadium on Sept. 16.

For most Canadian fans, it will be their first chance to catch the high-voltage rockers in a decade. With the exception of Vancouver, where the band played the same venue in April 2025, AC/DC haven’t played any shows in Canada since 2015.

Set a reminder to ring hell’s bells, as tickets for the 2026 tour go on sale to the general public on Friday, Nov. 7, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. American rockers The Pretty Reckless are scheduled to be the opening act.

Following the deaths of founding guitarist Malcolm Young in 2017 and original drummer Colin Burgess in 2023, the band began touring again in 2024 and have already performed across Europe, the U.S. and Australia in support of their Power Up album.

Formed in 1973, AC/DC has sold more than 200 million records and is one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Their 1980 album Back in Black has sold an estimated 50 million copies, making it the second best-selling album of all time after Michael Jackson’s Thriller in 1982.
