Legendary rock band AC/DC has electrified fans worldwide with the announcement of their highly anticipated new album, “Thunderstrike Reborn,” and a global tour set to kick off next spring. This announcement comes more than a decade after the band’s last studio release, marking a monumental return to the forefront of rock music.
The album, set to be released on November 15, 2024, represents the band’s first new material since 2014’s “Rock or Bust.” Produced by the iconic Brendan O’Brien, who also worked on some of the band’s most celebrated albums, “Thunderstrike Reborn” promises to deliver the high-octane, signature sound that has defined AC/DC’s illustrious career. The album features 12 tracks, including the lead single “Raging Thunder,” which was unveiled during a live-streamed press conference in Sydney. The single has already garnered rave reviews for its classic riff-heavy sound and high-energy performance.
AC/DC’s return is marked by a lineup of rock royalty, with Brian Johnson on vocals, Angus Young on lead guitar, and Cliff Williams on bass. The band’s longtime drummer Phil Rudd is back behind the kit after a brief hiatus, and Stevie Young, Angus’s nephew, joins as rhythm guitarist. Fans have been eagerly awaiting news of Rudd’s return, as his drumming was pivotal to the band’s distinctive sound.
The announcement of the world tour has generated immense excitement, with the band set to embark on a 40-date tour across North America, Europe, and Asia. Dubbed the “Thunderstorm Tour,” the tour will kick off on March 1, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, and will include stops in major cities such as New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, and Sydney. The tour is expected to be a monumental event, featuring a new stage setup that promises to be as explosive as the band’s live performances have always been.
Angus Young, known for his electrifying stage presence and schoolboy outfit, spoke about the forthcoming tour: “We’re absolutely pumped to hit the road again and bring our new music to our fans. It’s been a while since we’ve done a big tour, and we can’t wait to get back to doing what we do best—rocking out and having a great time with the fans.” Brian Johnson echoed the sentiment, adding, “It feels like the right time to bring the thunder back. We’re ready to make some noise and see all our fans around the world.”
In anticipation of the album release, AC/DC has already released a teaser video that showcases snippets of the new tracks alongside footage from their classic live performances. The teaser has quickly gone viral, garnering millions of views and setting social media abuzz with speculation and excitement about the new album’s content.
Critics and fans alike are eager to see how “Thunderstrike Reborn” will stack up against AC/DC’s legendary discography. The band’s previous albums, including “Back in Black” and “Highway to Hell,” are considered some of the greatest rock records of all time. With high expectations surrounding the new release, “Thunderstrike Reborn” is poised to make a significant impact on the rock music scene.
Pre-orders for the album are already available through various platforms, and the band has announced a special limited-edition vinyl release featuring exclusive artwork and a bonus track. Concert tickets for the “Thunderstorm Tour” are set to go on sale on August 21, 2024, and fans are advised to act quickly, as tickets are expected to sell out rapidly.
