Formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, the group became synonymous with powerful riffs, high-energy performances and straightforward hard rock anthems. Following early success with vocalist Bon Scott, AC/DC achieved global superstardom after Brian Johnson joined the band in 1980.
Albums such as Back in Black, Highway to Hell and The Razors Edge helped establish them as one of the biggest-selling acts in music history, while songs including ‘Thunderstruck’, ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ and ‘Hells Bells’ remain staples of classic rock radio.
With more than 200 million records sold worldwide, AC/DC’s influence on hard rock and heavy metal continues to resonate across generations of musicians and fans.
