The announcement has sent ripples of excitement through the music community, signaling a powerful return for the iconic group known for their electrifying performances and classic hits.
The forthcoming album, titled “Rock ‘n’ Thunder,” marks AC/DC’s first studio release since their critically acclaimed 2020 album, “Power Up.” Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material from the band, and “Rock ‘n’ Thunder” promises to deliver with the same high-octane energy and timeless rock sound that has defined AC/DC’s illustrious career.

Frontman Brian Johnson, who rejoined the band in 2018 after a brief hiatus due to hearing issues, expressed his excitement about the new project. “We’ve poured our hearts and souls into this album,” Johnson said. “It feels great to be back in the studio with Angus and the guys, creating music that we hope will get people up and moving. We’ve missed being out there, and we’re ready to bring ‘Rock ‘n’ Thunder’ to life on stage.”
Guitarist Angus Young, known for his energetic stage presence and iconic schoolboy uniform, added, “This album is a tribute to the fans who have stuck by us through thick and thin. We’ve got some surprises in store, and we can’t wait to share them with everyone.”
The album’s lead single, “Thunderstrike 2,” has already been released and is receiving rave reviews for its classic AC/DC sound. The track features high-octane riffs, a driving beat, and Johnson’s unmistakable vocals, all hallmarks of the band’s storied legacy. The accompanying music video, which debuted on YouTube, showcases the band performing in a high-energy setting, further amplifying the excitement surrounding the new release.
To support the album, AC/DC has announced a world tour that will kick off in March 2024. The tour, dubbed the “Rock ‘n’ Thunder Tour,” will see the band performing in major cities across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
