Setlist + Video – AC/DC Play First Show in Seven Years (24 Songs)
AC/DC‘s first show since 2016 is officially in the books now that the rock legends have finished their set at this year’s Power Trip festival, a three-day event featuring some of the biggest bands in rock and metal.
Night one (Oct. 6) featured performances from Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden, while Judas Priest (who were added to the bill after Ozzy Osbourne backed out due to health issues) hit the stage before AC/DC on the Saturday installment.
Still to come are sets from Metallica and Tool tonight (Oct. 8).
The last time AC/DC played live was on Sept. 20, 2016, as the group finished out the Rock or Bust Tour after encountering obstacles along the way. Singer Brian Johnson had to step down from his live role in the band as he risked suffering “total hearing loss” if he were to continue. In his place, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose stepped in to help the group finish the run, the last date being Sept. 20, 2016.

While the band hadn’t performed live again until now, they did release a new album, Power Up, in 2020 with Johnson.
