Atlanta, buckle up. The most electrifying band in the history of rock and roll is coming to the city, and they are bringing enough voltage to light up every skyscraper on the skyline. AC/DC is bringing the Power Up Tour 2026 to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on August 27, 2026, and if you call yourself a rock fan in this city, this is your Super Bowl. Your World Series. Your once-in-a-generation, do-not-blink moment.

The Greatest Rock Band on Earth Is Coming to Atlanta

Let's not sugarcoat it — AC/DC is a religion, and August 27th is a holy day. Formed in Sydney in 1973, this band has spent over five decades proving one undeniable truth: rock and roll ain't noise pollution. From Back in Black — the second best-selling album in history — to the thunderous riffs of Highway to Hell and Thunderstruck, AC/DC has built a catalog that hits harder than anything else in the game. Atlanta has always embraced rock royalty, and this city's fans are going to be absolutely unhinged in the best possible way when Angus Young hits that first riff inside the Benz.

The Pretty Reckless Opens — And They Mean Business

Before the legends take the stage, The Pretty Reckless will set the tone with a performance that is anything but a throwaway opener. Led by the ferociously talented Taylor Momsen, The Pretty Reckless have evolved into one of the most powerful hard rock acts of their generation. With massive hits like Going to Hell and Heaven Knows, these guys will have Mercedes-Benz Stadium primed and ready to explode before AC/DC even plugs in.

What to Expect on August 27

When AC/DC rolls into town, they do not do halfway. Expect:

  • A massive, production-heavy stage show with pyrotechnics that make Georgia summer heat feel like a cool breeze
  • A deep, career-spanning setlist packed with every anthem you have screamed in your car at full volume
  • Angus Young doing what he does — running, jumping, and guitar-shredding like a man who simply refuses to acknowledge the concept of aging
  • A crowd of 70,000-plus Atlanta rock fans unified in one thundering, glorious chorus

Why Atlanta Fans Cannot Sleep on This One

Mercedes-Benz Stadium is one of the crown jewels of live entertainment venues in America, and AC/DC filling that building is going to be a spectacle unlike anything this city has seen in years. Atlanta has a deep, passionate rock fan base, and this is the moment that base gets rewarded. These tours do not come around often. Do not be the person explaining to your friends why you did not go.
