AC/DC's Last European Stand: Dublin's Croke Park Gig is a Must-See for Rock Fans

Tens of thousands of AC/DC fans are set to flock to Dublin as the rock legends take the stage at Croke Park. Tonight’s concert is particularly significant as it marks the final show of the European leg of their Power Up tour.

The 21-date journey across 10 countries kicked off with two shows in Germany on May 17 and 21, winding through Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Belgium, England and France before culminating at GAA HQ on Saturday, August 17.

The band’s current lineup includes singer Brian Johnson, lead guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney, who is filling in for longtime bassist Cliff Williams.

AC/DC remains one of the most influential rock bands in history, having sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Their 'Back In Black' LP is the third bestselling album by any artist, with global sales exceeding 50 million and counting.
