AC/DC's long-awaited 2025 Australian tour has just grown louder with the addition of five powerhouse homegrown acts joining previously announced special guests Amyl & The Sniffers. The full-scale stadium run will now showcase a wall-to-wall celebration of Australian rock, with The Casanovas, Large Mirage, Oscar The Wild, Southern River Band and Headsend all confirmed as openers across the country.

Half a century after the roar of Newcastle's Rabbit first shook Aussie stages, the band that helped define the mid-70s pub rock sound is back with Defenders Of Rock, a brand-new album out 31 October via Savant Guarde Records. Led once again by original AC/DC frontman Dave Evans, the record is a fist-pumping salute to the spirit of Australian rock and roll, loud, proud, and unbreakable.
