Details for AC/DC’s Croke Park performance: schedule, set list, tickets, transportation, and all you need to know
This Saturday, August 17, marks the Australian rock group AC/DC’s first performance in Ireland in nearly ten years, and we have all the information you need to know before the show.
This weekend, the legendary Australian rock group AC/DC will play their final show of a European tour in Dublin’s Croke Park.
The band is performing on the Power Up Tour, their first in Europe in eight years, with a lineup that includes drummer Matt Laug, guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, singer Brian Johnson, and new bassist Chris Chaney, who will be replacing longtime bassist Cliff Williams.
With over 200 million records sold globally, AC/DC is one of the most influential rock bands in history. The band’s Back In Black album is the “third bestselling album by any artist,” having sold 50 million copies worldwide and counting.
The last time AC/DC played in Dublin was at a sold-out event at the Aviva Stadium back in 2015. Fans of the legendary rock band should expect an amazing time at this weekend’s show in Croke Park.
