AC/DC ‘POWER UP’ tour to come to Edinburgh
The world’s greatest rock 'n' roll band return to Europe this summer which includes huge show at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.
AC/DC, the legendary multi-million-selling band, has announced today that they will be returning to Europe this Summer to continue their ‘POWER UP’ tour which will conclude at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh on Thursday 21 August 2025.
The ‘POWER UP’ tour, named for their latest studio album, which reached #1 in 21 countries, has seen the band visit Europe last year to rapturous fans and critical acclaim, and the tour continues this Spring with stadium shows in 13 cities across the USA.
AC/DC will play 12 dates across 10 countries this Summer. Tickets for the shows will be available from 10am on Friday 7 February 2025. The tour includes the first-ever AC/DC show in Estonia, and the Edinburgh concert sees the band return to Scotland, the home nation of the Young clan, for the first time in a decade.
Scottish Rugby is celebrating the Centenary of Scottish Gas Murrayfield this year and this concert announcement is adding to the host of celebrations already planned for the year.
The Murrayfield Campus hosts over 50 major events per year. Ranging from sold-out Scotland international rugby matches at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, matches at Hive Stadium for Edinburgh Rugby, Scotland Women and U20, community rugby finals days for adult and youth competitions, corporate and business conferences and national fundraising events such as Kiltwalk and Men’s 10k and of course concerts.
Scottish Rugby announced last week that it received an independent evaluation of its overall economic value to Scotland. The valuation covers from June to December 2024. It incorporates home matches for the national men’s and women’s teams; Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors’ home fixtures; and the concerts and events hosted at Murrayfield and comes in at £120.4million.
Of that, more than one third was spent by visitors whose home was outside of Scotland at £41.9million. The media impact – included in the total figure – was calculated at £13.2million, of which the Taylor Swift |The Eras Tour staged at Murrayfield last June generated media coverage alone worth £8.3million.
Last year, Scottish Rugby announced that Oasis will be returning to Scottish Gas Murrayfield in summer 2025 for three nights as part of their long-awaited reunion tour. It was then announced that Billy Joel is set to return to the UK for two exclusive performances in 2025 and Robbie Williams will also be returning to Scottish Gas Murrayfield as the first act of the summer on 31 May.
Scottish Rugby can announce that Scotland Supporters Club members will have the opportunity to enter a ballot to purchase tickets for AC/DC ‘POWER UP’ through a venue allocation. Details will be sent over email to current Scotland Supporters Club members.
