AC/DC and the Power Up Tour Come to Houston

When AC/DC announced the continuation of the Power Up Tour into 2026, rock fans everywhere lost their minds. The Australian legends have long been one of the most reliable live acts in the history of the genre, and their decision to keep the tour rolling means another wave of cities gets to experience the spectacle. The Houston stop at NRG Stadium on August 31, 2026 is one of the most anticipated nights on the North American leg.

AC/DC formed in Sydney, Australia in 1973 and went on to become one of the best-selling bands of all time, with hundreds of millions of records sold worldwide. Albums like Back in Black and Highway to Hell are cornerstones of the rock canon, and the band's 2020 release Power Up proved they could still top charts around the globe. The Power Up Tour, named for that album, has become a massive stadium juggernaut, packing venues across Europe and North America.

The 2026 North American leg is stacked. The run includes stadium shows in Charlotte, Columbus, Madison, San Antonio, Denver, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Edmonton, Vancouver, Atlanta, Houston, South Bend, St. Louis, Montreal, Toronto, East Rutherford, and Philadelphia. Each stop brings the full AC/DC production -- the cannons, the bell, the pyro, and a setlist built entirely from rock anthems. The Houston date in late August lands right in the heart of the run.

The touring lineup keeps the classic AC/DC sound intact. Founding guitarist Angus Young still leads the charge in his schoolboy uniform, Brian Johnson handles vocals with the same gravel-and-glass wail fans have loved for decades, and Stevie Young holds down rhythm guitar. Drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney round out the band, locking in the thunderous rhythm section that AC/DC songs demand.

NRG Stadium is the perfect Houston home for a show this enormous. Located inside NRG Park, the retractable-roof venue seats more than 72,000 fans and has hosted the biggest concerts and events in Texas. Opening the Houston show is The Pretty Reckless, the hard-rock band led by Taylor Momsen, giving fans a powerful double bill of guitar-driven rock.
