Oh no, AC/DC fans are about to get their Aussie-shaped senses overwhelmed 🤯: the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up is coming to a city near you, because apparently, the band’s music and merchandise just aren’t enough 🤑. As the “Power Up” tour makes its final lap around North America in 2026, the official AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up will travel with the tour, giving fans a dedicated place to gather, get PWRD/UP (whatever that means), and celebrate one of the most acclaimed and enduring live bands in rock and roll 🤘.
The “Power Up” world tour, which takes its name from AC/DC’s 2020 album that reached No. 1 in 21 countries, began with the band’s long-awaited return to the stage at Power Trip in California in 2023 and has since sold out dozens of stadiums across four continents. Now, as the massive tour enters its final leg, the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up gives fans a place to gather before show day and be part of the high-voltage energy surrounding the tour. Because, you know, the concert itself won’t be enough to satisfy your AC/DC cravings 🤣.
Each location will feature exclusive pop-up merchandise, AC/DC-themed food and drink, iconic props, custom visuals, interactive photo moments, ticket giveaways, PWR/UP Fan Preview events, and the opportunity to enter to win a guitar signed by Angus Young. Because who doesn’t want to win a guitar signed by a rock legend, right? 🎸 I mean, it’s not like you’ll just end up selling it on eBay or anything 🤑.
Get Ready for Some Serious Rock ‘n’ Roll Overkill
The AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up will feature a curated selection of exclusive merchandise and fan collectibles, including premium apparel, accessories, posters, limited-edition items, and pieces created specifically for the pop-up. Each city will also offer early access to a limited quantity of the official city event shirt and poster, available at the pop-up one day before they go on sale online or at the stadium. Because, you know, you can never have too much AC/DC merchandise 🤪.
The venues were chosen as places where fans already gather, music culture lives, and each city can put its own stamp on the pop-up. Custom AC/DC-themed food and drink menus will make each location feel like a true pre-show gathering place, with select stops offering specialty menu items and custom collectible cups. Because what’s a rock concert without overpriced merchandise and a themed beer to wash it down? 🍺
Select locations may also feature live performances from local School Of Rock house bands and local radio broadcasts, adding more city-specific energy to the tour celebration. And, of course, there will be PWR/UP Fan Preview events, where a limited number of fans can get a first look at the pop-up and receive a free exclusive gift. Because, you know, the real fans are the ones who show up a day early to wait in line 🤓.
Win Stuff, Because Who Doesn’t Love Free Stuff? 🎁
Throughout the tour, fans attending the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up will also have the chance to enter exclusive in-person giveaways, including concert tickets, merch prize packs, VIP bags, city event shirts, and other fan-focused prizes. And, because one guitar signed by Angus Young just isn’t enough, fans attending U.S.-based pop-ups will also have the opportunity to enter for the chance to win a new AC/DC-themed pinball machine created by Stern Pinball. Because, you know, what every rock fan needs is a pinball machine in their basement 🤯.
