AC/DC arrived in Perth ahead of two Power Up tour concerts at Optus Stadium, with shows scheduled for Thursday and Monday, as the national leg nears its penultimate stop.

A Perth pop-up merchandise store serves the Power Up tour, offering exclusive items and aligning with the city’s role as a key stop on the tour.

Fans dressed in black surged through long lines, with some spending up to $1,500 on merchandise and experiences across both local and broader tour dates.

Guitarists Angus Young and Stevie Young, bassist Chris Chaney and other band members were photographed engaging with fans in casual attire, with Angus personally signing records, bells, and memorabilia.

On a midweek afternoon, doors opened around midday and the line stretched more than 50 meters, reflecting high anticipation.

Fans argue the band delivers high-energy performances well into its 70s, underscoring enduring fan enthusiasm for Power Up.

Gear and stage were transported from Adelaide to Perth by 26 trucks, with 155 crew members assembling the setup over four days beginning early each morning.

A West Perth pop-up store drew long queues with exclusive items, operating across multiple days to coincide with the Perth performances.

The production setup features a massive 300-tonne steel structure, 28 tonnes of speakers, and 500 kW of power for lighting, video and rigging across two shows.

Fans spotted the band in town despite efforts to stay under the radar, highlighting ongoing popularity during the Power Up tour.

Dedicated fans planned extensive attendance, with some arriving early and others planning multiple shows across Australia, underscoring deep fan commitment.

Perth is highlighted for its strong fan base and historical ties to the band, including its connection to late frontman Bon Scott, as AC/DC returns to Australia after a decade.
