AC/DC In St. Louis 

Five decades in, and AC/DC still knows exactly how to blow the roof off of a stadium. The lights go down. The crowd erupts. Then the first riff hits, and suddenly, 50 plus years of rock ‘n’ roll history comes roaring back to life.  

After nearly seven years away from the road, AC/DC returned to the stage in 2024 with the PWR UP Tour. Two years later, they’re still bringing the noise, still filling stadiums, and judging by the chaos that erupted in St. Louis, they’re having one hell of a good time doing it. 

The tour has traveled around the world since kicking off in May 2024, bringing along some seriously impressive opening acts along the way including Amyl and The Sniffers, The Pretty Reckless, and, on this night, the Foo Fighters. And yes, the Foo Fighters opened for AC/DC. Insert Christopher Walken voice. That alone would’ve been enough to make the night memorable. But then AC/DC took the stage. 

And they delivered. 

The guitars were thundering. The lights were blinding. The crowd was deafening. And every single person seemed to know exactly what they came for. 

Then Angus Young came flying onto the stage. Still wearing the schoolboy uniform that has become as iconic as the guitar strapped around his shoulders, Angus moved across the stage with the energy of a kid who had just been let out of school, only this kid happened to be commanding a stadium packed with thousands of screaming fans. The years may have passed, but Angus hasn’t lost his touch. Watching him launch into those legendary riffs was a reminder that some things just don’t need fixing.  

And perhaps the best part of an AC/DC show isn’t the band, it’s the people watching them. Look around the stadium and you’ll see fans who have been carrying these songs with them for decades. You’ll see people who grew up with AC/DC blasting from their speakers, people who saw the band when they were younger, and an entirely new generation discovering the experience for themselves.   

Then a familiar song rings out, and everybody sings. There are no generations anymore. No age gaps. No strangers. Just thousands of people screaming the same lyrics at the top of their lungs. 

These aren’t just songs. For a lot of people, they’re memories. They’re the soundtrack to first cars, first concerts, late nights, road trips, heartbreaks, good times, and everything in between. And when those songs explode through a stadium, you can almost feel all of those memories coming back all at once.
