It's the first time in a decade the band will light up stadiums across the nation, and excitement is spilling over from fans' social media pages to venues like Melbourne's Cherry Bar.
Bar owner James Young says the nightspot, which spent two decades on ACDC Lane before recently relocating, was where the band received its gold records for the hit tracks TNT and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap in 1976.
Mr Young has seen the legendary band 17 times and is thrilled the Power Up tour is finally coming home.
"You shouldn't die without having seen AC/DC," he told AAP.
Original band member Angus Young will lead the charge, joined by longstanding vocalist Brian Johnson, Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, drummer Matt Laug, and bassist Chris Chaney.
It will be a busy end to 2025 for music fans, with reunited rock band Oasis and Metallica also playing shows across Australia from October.
Mr Young has already booked what he calls the best tribute band for that weekend.
"It's just going to be absolutely bonkers," he said.
Joining the tour will be special guests Amyl and the Sniffers, the Australian rock band that's had a stand-out year, taking home Song of the Year at the 2025 APRA Music Awards.
The tour has even caught the attention of the City of Melbourne.
It has hinted AC/DC might recreate the famous It's a Long Way to the Top music video - showing the band performing on the back of a truck on Swanston Street - either later this year or as part of the video's 50th anniversary in 2026.
"Melbourne is a live music capital of the world. Recreating this iconic moment on Swanston Street will be unforgettable," Lord Mayor Nick Reece said.
It won't be easy for concertgoers though, with Ticketek issuing a warning ahead of the highly anticipated sale, advising fans to be up bright and early to join its virtual queue if they hope to secure tickets.
Tickets will go on sale on Thursday at staggered local times, with Sydney from 9am followed by Brisbane at 11am, Melbourne at 1pm and Perth at 1pm (AWST).
To improve their chances, the company shared several tips: use only one device and one browser to access the sale, avoid refreshing your browser while in the queue, and be ready to check out quickly.
Ticketek urged customers to only purchase tickets from its website and warned against buying from third-party resellers.
The tour opens at Melbourne's MCG on November 12 before heading to Sydney on November 21, Adelaide on November 30, Perth on December 4 and Brisbane on December 14.
