Highlights from Past AC/DC Tours
AC/DC is known for playing some of the most iconic rock shows in history. They say. ”Here are some iconic moments from previous tours:”
Highway to Hell Live: Truly, there’s no AC/DC tour without a killer “Highway to Hell”, and for every single tour, there’s a “Highway to Hell” to sing along to. During their 2015 Rock or Bust tour, the live version of this track was a fan favorite, paired with stunning pyrotechnics that lit up the stage.
Angus Young Guitar Solo: No AC/DC concert is complete without a blistering guitar solo from Angus Young. And his colorful schoolboy uniform, as well as his wild onstage antics, became legendary. On the 2010 Black Ice tour, perhaps the biggest talking point was his extended solos during performances of “Let There Be Rock.”
Cue Cannon Fire on Stage: Speaking of cannon fire, the hard rock band AC/DC likes to bring cannons out on stage when it plays “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).” And fans were certainly surprised when they fired off with synchronized blasts during their encore at their Melbourne stop for the 2009 Black Ice tour.
