Angus Young Proves He’s the Ultimate Fan Favorite at AC/DC’s July 2025 Concert
AC/DC’s concert in Warsaw on July 4, 2025, at the massive PGE Narodowy Stadium, was more than just a show—it was a full-scale rock celebration that united generations of fans. With the stadium packed to capacity, the energy in the air was palpable long before the first chord was struck. The “Power Up” European tour had already created buzz across the continent, but this stop in Poland was something special.
As the sun set over Warsaw, waves of anticipation rippled through the crowd. Old-school fans arrived in vintage Highway to Hell and Back in Black t-shirts, while younger rockers, many seeing AC/DC for the first time, waited eagerly to witness legends in action. The excitement was amplified by the knowledge that The Pretty Reckless, an acclaimed modern rock band, would open the evening with their own high-energy set.
When the stage finally lit up, Angus Young emerged in his iconic schoolboy outfit, instantly met with deafening cheers. Even at 69, Angus displayed the energy and stage presence of a man half his age, sprinting and duckwalking across the stage with a mischievous grin. Brian Johnson, with his unmistakable cap and powerhouse vocals, greeted the Warsaw audience with a roar: “Are you ready for some rock and roll?”
The opening song, “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It),” set the tone for the night. The guitars were thunderous, the drums relentless, and the crowd’s voices quickly drowned out any doubts about the band’s enduring power. Every note was met with fists in the air and the kind of collective singing that only AC/DC can inspire.
As the set progressed, classics like “Back in Black,” “Shot in the Dark,” and “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” had everyone on their feet. The visual production was top-tier—massive screens showed every riff and grin, while pyrotechnics and bursts of fire turned the stadium into a rock and roll inferno. When “Thunderstruck” kicked in, the entire arena shook as fans joined the iconic chant, creating a wall of sound that seemed to reach every corner of Warsaw.
Throughout the concert, Angus Young’s solos were showstoppers. His fretwork during “Let There Be Rock” left the crowd mesmerized, and his marathon solo during “High Voltage” had people cheering long after the final note. Each performance reminded everyone why Angus is still one of the greatest living guitarists.
Brian Johnson’s voice, still raw and full of grit, soared over the wall of guitars. He delivered every line of “Hells Bells” and “Highway to Hell” with authority, his passion undimmed by years on the road. The chemistry between band members—Cliff Williams on bass, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, and Matt Laug on drums—was evident, their tight performance keeping the AC/DC machine rolling at full speed.
Fans shared emotional moments too, with several waving homemade banners thanking the band for the music that shaped their lives. Couples danced in the aisles during “You Shook Me All Night Long,” while lifelong friends threw arms around each other, reliving memories made at AC/DC concerts decades ago.
The crowd interaction was a highlight of the night. Johnson joked with fans, while Angus playfully tossed guitar picks into the front rows. At one point, the band paused to thank the Polish audience, with Brian declaring, “We’ve played all over the world, but Warsaw always feels like home.” The stadium responded with a roar that echoed beyond the venue walls.
As the night drew to a close, “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” brought the concert to its thunderous finale. Massive cannons fired in sync with the music, and fireworks exploded above the stadium, creating a visual and sonic climax worthy of AC/DC’s reputation. The sense of unity in the crowd was overwhelming—fans, young and old, united in their love for the music.
Social media was instantly flooded with photos and videos from the concert. Clips of Angus’s solos, Brian’s crowd work, and the pyrotechnic spectacle quickly went viral, with fans across the world celebrating the Warsaw show as one of the tour’s highlights.
After the final chord, as the stadium lights came up, fans lingered, not wanting the magic to end. Many agreed it was a night to remember—one that had delivered everything they’d hoped for and more. For many, it was not just a concert, but a lifelong dream fulfilled.
The Warsaw show proved that AC/DC’s music transcends generations and borders. The band’s passion, showmanship, and commitment to their fans remain undiminished, even after decades in the spotlight. As fans streamed into the Warsaw night, chants of “AC/DC! AC/DC!” could still be heard echoing down the streets—a testament to a band that truly is, and always will be, at the top of rock and roll.
