On May 12, 2025, AC/DC stormed into Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, as part of their Power Up Tour, delivering a high-voltage concert that left the audience reeling. One of the night’s defining moments came with their blistering rendition of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” which instantly electrified the crowd and reminded everyone of the band’s untamed spirit.
As soon as the unmistakable opening riff of “Dirty Deeds” blasted through the speakers, a thunder of cheers erupted across the stadium. Brian Johnson’s gritty voice hit with full force, while Angus Young’s guitar cut through the night like a lightning bolt, pulling everyone into the world of mischief and mayhem that defines the song.
The stage came alive with pyrotechnics, strobe lights, and a wall of sound that hit with relentless momentum. Angus, in his trademark schoolboy outfit, duckwalked and shredded across the platform with infectious energy. His solos weren’t just heard—they were felt, vibrating through the bones of every person in the crowd.
The setlist was a deep dive into AC/DC’s legendary discography, hitting all the essentials from “Back in Black” to “Thunderstruck” to “Highway to Hell.” But it was during “Dirty Deeds” that something special happened—a crackling, unspoken bond between band and fans, forged through sheer volume and pure adrenaline.
During the chorus, the entire stadium roared as one, fists pumping, voices blending into a massive wall of sound. It was a moment of total unity, proving that even after all these years, the rebellious spirit of AC/DC’s music still burns bright in the hearts of rock fans.

The concert kept its ferocious pace with hit after hit, each played with the same fire that’s defined their live shows for decades. Thunderous drums, roaring guitars, and Brian Johnson’s unmistakable voice filled every inch of the stadium, refusing to let the energy dip for even a second.
Leaving the venue, fans buzzed with post-show energy—shouting favorite lyrics, clutching merch, and sharing footage of the night. For many, “Dirty Deeds” was the standout moment, a perfect collision of nostalgia and live-wire excitement.
Fan-shot videos quickly surfaced online, capturing every stomp, every riff, every roar from the crowd. The footage only confirmed what those in the stadium already knew—AC/DC hadn’t just performed, they had conquered.

Each stop on the tour reinforces their reputation as one of rock’s most enduring forces. And the Landover concert, especially “Dirty Deeds,” solidified that this era of AC/DC isn’t a farewell—it’s a reaffirmation of their dominance.
Watching Angus leap across the stage with the same fire he had forty years ago was nothing short of inspiring. Brian’s vocals, gravelly and commanding, showed no signs of slowing down. Together, they tore through the night like a runaway train.
