AC/DC have played the first show of the Power Up tour as new bassist Chris Chaney joins the party - watch videos

AC/DC have resumed touring for the first time since the Rock Or Bust trek ended at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, back in September 2016. The band took to the stage tonight (May 18) at the 62,000-capacity Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen for the first date in a run of 24 European shows.

AC/DC's first show since last year's one-off appearance at the Power Trip Festival in Indio, CA, was also the first for new bassist Chris Chaney, who's stepped in to replace Cliff Williams, but otherwise it was business as usual, with If You Want Blood (You've Got It) and Back In Black opening the show, and the traditional For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) rounding off an explosive evening.
