This run kicks off on April 10, 2025, in Minneapolis, MN at US Bank Stadium, canvases the continent, and concludes on May 28, 2025, in Cleveland, OH at Huntington Bank Field.

The tour shares its name with their 2020 album, POWER UP, which bowed at #1 in 21 countries. In 2024, AC/DC completed a European leg of the POWER UP Tour, packing the biggest stadiums on the continent in the process. POWER UP notably notched their third #1 debut on the Billboard 200 and exploded as one of the best-selling albums of 2020 worldwide,” . It closed out the year on Rolling Stone’s “Top 50 Albums of 2020” and Consequence of Sound’s “Top 50 Albums of 2020.” Plus, it garnered GRAMMY Award nominations in the categories of “Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Performance” and “Best Music Video” for “Shot In The Dark.” POWER UP is available here.

AC/DC played their very first show on the 31st December 1973 at Chequers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia. They are one of the most influential rock bands in history, with over 200 million albums sold worldwide. The band’s Back In Black LP is the “bestselling album by any band ever” and the “third bestselling album by any artist” with global sales of 50 million and counting. AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. The band continue selling out stadiums on multiple continents, sell millions of albums annually and generate streams in the billions.

To continue their reign as the world’s greatest rock and roll band, AC/DC—Angus Young on lead guitar, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bass player Chris Chaney—is back to play to their legion of dedicated fans, which grows with every passing year.

Calvin Harris Returns To North America For First Headline Tour

Published

on

Calvin Harris 2027

Today, global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris announces his first headline tour across North America bringing his era-defining catalogue and landmark live show to arenas across the US and Canada in spring 2027. 

Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-date tour kicks off Thursday, April 1 at TD Garden in Boston, with stops across Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego and more, before concluding Thursday, May 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

‍Tickets will be available starting with Reserved by Spotify on Monday, October 19th at 10AM local time, followed by an artist presale beginning Tuesday, October 20th at 12PM local time. Fans can register for artist presale access now at CalvinHarris.com.

The general on sale begins Thursday, October 22nd at 12PM local time at CalvinHarris.com.

Calvin Harris’ Reserved by Spotify tickets may be available to eligible US Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster.  These fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification, and will have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets during the Reserved presale.

The North American run follows an extraordinary year of live milestones for Harris. This summer, he performed to more than 100,000 fans across his two sold-out hometown shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, followed by three sold-out headline shows across Ireland, bringing his UK and Ireland total to more than 210,000 tickets. His recently announced Australian headline tour subsequently sold more than 330,000 tickets across 11 dates, making it the biggest headline tour by an electronic artist in the market.

Earlier this year, Harris also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title following his February performance in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew an estimated 1.6 million people, setting the record for the largest attendance at a DJ set by a single artist.

The North American announcement follows Harris’ acclaimed performance at Head Trip Festival in Indio, California, with upcoming performances in Las Vegas and festival appearances in Mexico and Chile. He will also headline a sold-out show at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, November 13. 

One of the defining artists in global dance music, Harris has spent more than a decade creating records that have become part of the fabric of contemporary pop and electronic music. With more than 56 billion global streams, two UK No. 1 albums, 11 UK No. 1 singles and 31 UK Top 10 singles, his catalogue has consistently crossed the boundaries between clubs, radio, festivals and stadiums.

His recent run of releases has continued that legacy, with “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas becoming one of the year’s biggest dance records, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and marking his 31st UK Top 10 single. He followed with “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez and “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian as well as “Satisfy” with Jazzy,  continuing his instinct for unexpected collaborations and genre-spanning dance music.

Harris returns to stages across North America with a show that reflects his extraordinary evolution as a live artist, bringing together a catalogue of global anthems, cutting-edge production and the communal energy that has made him one of the world’s most successful electronic artists.

Promoted by Live Nation, the 52-date tour kicks off on May 15 at Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham, AL and will bring Matchbox Twenty to amphitheaters and arenas across the U.S. and Canada, including Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, the Hollywood Bowlin Los Angeles, Moody Center in Austin, TX, RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON, and more. 

The All-American Rejects, The Wallflowers, David Gray, O.A.R., Matt Nathanson, and The Lucky will join the band as special guests on select dates. The tour is the centerpiece of a yearlong anniversary celebration that began last night with an intimate, one-night-only performance at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where the band played songs from their landmark debut Yourself or Someone Like You, alongside other fan favorites. The celebration continues tomorrow when Matchbox Twenty perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Just ahead of the tour, Matchbox Twenty will perform at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday, April 25.

Released in 1996, Yourself or Someone Like You introduced Matchbox Twenty (Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook) to the world and launched a career that has now spanned three decades. Featuring smash hit singles “3AM,” “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Long Day” and more, the diamond-certified, 12x-platinum album became one of the defining rock records of the era and established the band as a fixture of pop culture.
