AC/DC: Aussie TV About to Get Thunderstruck (Again?!) Before They Even Plug In

OMG! 😱 Prepare yourselves, fellow bogans, because 7News, yes, the pinnacle of journalistic integrity 🙄, is gracing us with a deep dive into the earth-shattering saga of AC/DC! Apparently, two blokes from Sydney’s least exciting suburbs somehow managed to make some noise. Who knew?! 🤯

In what can only be described as a monumental waste of airtime ⏰, 7News is crawling up AC/DC’s dusty old tour bus to regurgitate the same tired story we’ve all heard a million times. Get ready for “AC/DC: The World’s Greatest Rock Band,” airing on November 2 at 9:00 p.m. on Seven and 7plus. Yes, because nothing says “quality Sunday night viewing” like a geriatric rock band rehashing their greatest hits… and their greatest misses 👴🏻🎸.

Just days before AC/DC embarks on their “Power Up” Australian tour (because apparently, they haven’t made enough money yet 💰), this “groundbreaking” documentary promises to unearth long-lost tapes. What, did they find some recordings of Angus Young actually hitting a wrong note?! 🤣 Doubtful. It’ll probably just be more tales of how they went from playing sticky-floored pubs to slightly less sticky-floored stadiums. Riveting.

But wait, there’s more! 🤩 The documentary features exclusive interviews with rock luminaries like Dave Grohl (because he’s contractually obligated to be in every rock doc ever made 🙄), Slash (who probably just wants to sell more top hats 🎩), Tim Rogers (who?), Amy Taylor and Declan Mehrtens (bless their cotton socks 🙏), and Andrew Stockdale (remember them? 🤔). Prepare for profound insights like “AC/DC rocks!” and “They’re really loud!” 🤯

AC/DC’s five-date Australian tour will feature support from AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS (because nothing says “classic rock” like a bunch of snotty punk kids 🤘). And, of course, a rotating cast of local openers desperate for a crumb of AC/DC’s fame. Good luck, guys! You’ll need it.

Produced by TEG, this tour marks AC/DC’s triumphant return to Australia since 2015, because apparently, they forgot we existed down here 👇. Get ready to shell out your hard-earned dollarydoos for tickets that cost more than your first car. 💸

The “Power Up” tour is named after AC/DC’s 2020 album, which, against all odds, actually went to No. 1 on the ARIA chart. Who knew that nostalgia could be so lucrative?! 🤑 It even got some Grammy nominations, because apparently, the Grammys are now judged by deaf people 👴🏻👂.

In 2024, the “Power Up” tour sold a staggering 1.7 million tickets in Europe, proving that Europeans have a strange fondness for aging rockers in schoolboy outfits. 🤷‍♀️ They played 10 sold-out shows in North America (because ‘MURICA! 🇺🇸) and then graced Europe with 15 more shows before finally remembering that Australia is still on the map.
