AC/DC Delivered an Unforgettable Finale to Their Power Up Tour in Dublin After Eight Years, Performing Legendary Tracks Like “Back in Black” and Achieving One Billion YouTube Views!
AC/DC has wrapped up the European portion of their Power Up Tour with a spectacular performance in Dublin. This marks their first extensive tour in eight years, and they concluded it brilliantly by delivering all their major hits. Among these was “Back In Black,” which surpassed one billion views on YouTube earlier this year.
Taylor Momsen and The Pretty Reckless served as the opening acts for AC/DC during their European tour. The Pretty Reckless has previously acknowledged the legendary rock band as a major influence, making their collaboration a natural fit. “Have you ever witnessed a subpar AC/DC show? There isn’t one. Every performance is intense and unmatched,” Momsen has remarked in the past.
As reported by Ultimate Classic Rock, the band’s setlist remained consistent throughout their tour. In the final concert, they kicked off with “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and “Back in Black,” performances that fans can watch in the video captured by attendees below. They continued with “Demon Fire” from their 2020 album Power Up, navigated through their classic repertoire, and concluded with an encore featuring “T.N.T.” and “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).”
AC/DC Concludes Their First Major Tour in Eight Years with Timeless Hits and New Album Selections
The last time AC/DC embarked on a lengthy European tour was in 2016 with the Rock or Bust Tour. Fans recall that tour for the numerous challenges it faced, including Brian Johnson needing to step away from performing due to hearing loss.
The band overcame these obstacles by bringing in Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses to cover most of the tour dates. Brian Johnson made a celebrated return in 2020 for the Power Up album, and fans were thrilled when the Power Up Tour kicked off in May of the previous year. When the European leg was announced, fans reacted enthusiastically, purchasing an impressive 1.5 million tickets on the first day of sales.
Overall, AC/DC delivered a fiery 21-song set that delighted fans throughout the tour. Be sure to watch their performance of “Back In Black” and the impressive finale with “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).”
