Big news for AC/DC fans as the heavy metal bigwigs announced Monday they will hit the road next spring. But as of now, there’s only one Canadian show on the docket.

The Australian band, which first formed in 1973, will be bringing their Power Up Tour to Vancouver’s BC Place on April 22, 2025, as part of their 13-stop North American football stadium tour.

Tickets for the B.C. show and all 12 U.S. dates will go on sale Dec. 6 at noon local time.

The full slate of 2025 North American dates include:

Power Up, supporting the 2020 album of the same name, will be AC/DC’s first North America tour since the 2017 death of guitarist Malcolm Young who had left the group due to health concerns. The band’s Rock or Bust tour, which kicked off in 2015 and went into 2016, included eight Canadian stops.

The Power Up lineup is expected to consist of Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney.

The band has not released any information regarding support acts for the tour.

Ozzy Osbourne is unlikely to tour again, according to his son.

Jack Osbourne doesnt expect his dad to ever hit the road again for a run of shows, but admitted the 74-year-old rocker - who insisted recently he wanted to go back on the road - is still keen to perform at one-off gigs.

He told The Messenger, I dont think hell tour again. But hes gunning to do one-off shows - like festivals, gigs, things like that. Hes not done yet!

Ozzy suffers from a rare form of Parkinson’s and last year underwent life-altering surgery to remove and realign a series of pins in his neck and back from a 2003 quad biking accident.

In June, the Black Sabbath frontman went under the knife to have a filter removed from his artery, after the threat of blood clots hitting his major organs was reduced.

Jack has now told how Ozzy is doing really well following his latest operation, and he has no more nerve issues.

The 38-year-old star added, There were a few hiccups, but hes doing good. Hes got no more pain, no more nerve issues.

Jacks comments about his fathers touring come after Ozzy insisted in September that he wanted to go back on the road.

He told Metal Hammer magazine at the time, I’m getting myself fit. I’ve done two albums fairly recently [2020s Ordinary Man and 2022s Patient Number 9], but I want to do one more album and then go back on the road.

Ozzys comments came after he revealed in February that he had retired from touring.

He said in a statement: This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans. As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine.

My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back onstage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.

Addressing his fans, he went on: “I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required. Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really F**** ME UP, more than you will ever know.

Jimmy Butler, the NBA star and current Miami Heat small forward, loves listening to Nickelback.

And the basketball player often subjects his teammates to the hit-making Canadian rock band.

But is his locker-room Nickelback listening a motivating tactic or a punishment for fellow players? Either way, Butlers Nickelback affection is now a topic in sports media as the Heat lead the Boston Celtics 3–1 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Down toward the bottom of this post, see some videos that could make a case for either argument.

On Tuesday (May 23), ESPN brought up Butlers affection for Nickelback, even interviewing a teammate about it. But Butlers fandom goes back further, as does his taste in country from artists like Morgan Wallen. (Butler is friends with Wallen.)

Earlier this year, after the Heat lost a game, Butler reportedly played some Nickelback songs at his locker for teammates and staffers. At least one of the songs got through to Heat power forward Udonis Haslem, though Haslem cant quite remember which. Still, he said Butler helped him understand it.

Haslem tells ESPN, Hes just explaining the song to me. A lot of times the reason why people might diss or whatever is cause they dont understand the song or they dont even give it a chance to listen. They just immediately shit on it. Once he started telling me what [Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger] was saying, and I started listening to it, then it all made sense.

Trying to recall what Nickelback song Butler played, Haslem continues, Oh man, I cant remember, but its something about its like, Just give it your all or Stuck between, rock and a hard plaaaace. Its like rock and a hard plaaaace. Something like that.

hat said, country may be Butlers main musical love. Last year, word emerged he was working on his own country album. But perhaps the intersection of country and rock excites Butler the most. A commercial shows him singing along to Hootie & the Blowfishs hit roots-rocker Only Wanna Be With You.

If, like Jimmy, Nickelback is your jam, be sure to catch them on tour.

U2 just announced five shows in Las Vegas as part of their new U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere Las Vegas concert residency this fall.

The Irish rock band will open the new sphere-shaped music and entertainment arena Sphere at The Venetian Resort with the program based on their classic 1991 album, Achtung Baby. The residency was already announced; the dates are newly revealed. (More dates are likely to be added, Rolling Stone said.)

U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere is the bands latest ambitious creative project and will see them work once again with longtime U2 creative collaborator and show director Willie Williams, a press release explains.

It follows the huge success of U2s Joshua Tree 30th anniversary stadium tour which was seen by over 3.2 million fans worldwide and their 2018 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE indoor tour which played to a combined audience of 1 million across Europe and North America.

U2 hasnt played live since December 2019 and we need to get back on stage and see the faces of our fans again, the band said on Monday (April 24). And what a unique stage theyre building for us out there in the desert. … Were the right band, Achtung Baby the right album, and Sphere the right venue to take the live experience of music to the next level.

The U2 members added, Thats what U2s been trying to do all along with our satellite stages and video installations, most memorably on the ZOO TV Tour, which ended in Tokyo 30 years ago this fall.

However, U2s Larry Mullen Jr. wont be a part of the dates. The band has already named his replacement.

There should be some great rock n roll and a little bit of friendly chart-watching rivalry this spring when Shinedown hit the road with Three Days Grace and From Ashes to New.

The chart-topping rockers Shinedown just announced their The Revolutions Live trek which will kick off on April 3 in Saginaw, Michigan, with Three Days Grace and From Ashes to New serving as support on the run.

For the past few years, Shinedown and Three Days Grace have been engaged in a chart battle for most No. 1 songs on Billboards Mainstream Rock Chart. Shinedown pulled ahead with their 17th No. 1 with Planet Zero early last year, then added their 18th, Daylight, later in the year. Three Days Grace are right on their heels with Lifetime becoming their 17th chart-topper also last year. And as both bands have new albums to support, the chart battle should generate a little friendly rivalry during the run.

Shinedowns latest from their Planet Zero album, Dead Dont Die, just arrived with a Lewis Carter-directed video that can be seen below, while Three Days Grace most recently released their third Explosions album single, I Am the Weapon.

From Ashes to New, meanwhile, saw their Retaliators soundtrack song The Retaliators (21 Bullets) hit No. 15 on the Mainstream Rock chart last year, with the song Until We Break featuring Memphis May Fires Matty Mullins being their most recent offering.

As for the upcoming trek, the Revolutions Live tour will play 21 stops along the way. All cities, dates and venues are listed at the bottom of this post. The public on-sale for tickets is this Friday (Jan. 27) at 10AM local time through LiveNation.com. There will also be various pre-sales going on ahead of Friday, starting tomorrow (Jan. 24) through Thursday (Jan. 26). You can visit Shinedowns website for additional ticketing info.
