It’s official — AC/DC is back, and Detroit got the full voltage. On April 30, the legends stormed Ford Field as part of their Power Up Tour, unleashing a thunderous 21-song set that felt like a masterclass in hard rock.
From the opening riffs of If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It) to the cannon-blasting finale of For Those About to Rock (We Salute You), every song hit like a punch to the gut in the best way possible. Brian Johnson commanded the crowd like a man possessed, while Angus Young — decked out in his signature schoolboy gear — shredded, duckwalked, and dominated every square inch of the stage.
The setlist was packed with classics — Back in Black, Highway to Hell, Hells Bells — and sprinkled with newer cuts like Shot in the Dark and Demon Fire, proving the band can still crank out fresh riffs without missing a beat.
Detroit fans? Loud as ever. The crowd lit up Ford Field with energy that matched the amps — fists in the air, devil horns on heads, and thousands singing every word.
- Thunderstruck bringing literal chills
- High Voltage deep-cut surprise
- That epic encore: T.N.T. into For Those About to Rock — with the cannons, of course

One last belt before the lights went down — AC/DC left it all on stage.Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
