The legendary rock band formed in 1973 and played their first gig on December 31 of that year at the Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia. Half a century later, the band still remain as strong and influential as ever.

In celebration of their 50th anniversary as a band, AC/DC are set to release limited edition gold vinyl pressings of their entire album catalogue. Each of the limited edition albums come with an album-specific 12”x12” print featuring new AC/DC 50 artwork suitable for framing.

The first wave of re-releases include ‘Back In Black’, ‘Highway To Hell’, ‘The Razors Edge’, ‘Powerage’, ‘For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)’, ‘High Voltage’, ‘Dirty Deeds Done Cheap’, ‘Who Made Who’ and ‘Live’. All nine albums are available for pre-order now and are set for release on March 15. More drops of the limited edition gold vinyls are set for a later date in the year.

Elsewhere, the band recently announced a huge UK and European stadium tour for 2024. The Australian rock legends will perform 21 dates in 10 countries this summer, which will mark their first tour in Europe for eight years.

The ‘Power Up‘ tour – in support of their 2020 album of the same name – will kick off in the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on May 17, followed by dates in Spain, Austria, Switzerland and more.
