Everything is ready for the AC/DC concert on Sunday 20 July in Imola, the only Italian date of their Power Up Tour – Europe 2025, at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari International Hiking. An explosive return ten years after the Live historian in the same location, to which 70 thousand people are expected. And about a year from the Australian band show to the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, the number one concert in the annual SIAE ranking for shopping at the box office and number of spectators.
On stage with Brian Johnson, Angus Young and his companions there will also be the Special guest The Pretty Reckless, for an evening of energy and power. AC/DC are one of the most legendary bands ever, and fans are also expected for this event from all over Europe. For the occasion, extraordinary trains have been arranged, food trucks and strengthened services with numerous enrolled volunteers.
The start of The Pretty Reckless show is scheduled at 7pm while AC/DC will go on stage at 20.30.
The AC/DC return to Imola, ten years later. On 9 July 2015, the autodrome Enzo and Dino Ferrari turned into a temple of rock, bringing great international music on the banks of Santerno: 92 thousand spectators who came to attend the show of one of the most iconic bands in the history of rock. An epochal event, destined to remain in the collective memory. Today, exactly ten years later, the scenario repeats itself. Indeed, it relaunches. After hosting artists of the caliber of Guns N 'Roses (2017), Vasco Rossi and Pearl Jam, the racetrack is ready to welcome AC/DC again. Unlike 2015, this time the return does not come after years of absence – the last appearance dates back to 2024 – but the expectations remain very high. Also because it will be the last concert in the paddock of the plant before the transfer, scheduled for next year, in the new Music Park Arena.
There is still no one setlist Official, but this is the probable scaletta of the AC/DC concert in Imola, based on that performed by the Australian band on 4 July in Warsaw.

The stage will be set up near the medical center of the Autodrome, while the Rivazza hill will be transformed into a natural arena divided between the large lawn for those who want to enjoy the standing concert and an ecological tribune with numbered seats for those who prefer a more comfortable vision. The detailed map of the event was published by the promoter Barley Arts.
To make the evening even more special will be the presence as the special guest of The Pretty Reckless, a band led by the charismatic Taylor Momsen, who will open the dances before the Rock explosion signed AC/DC.
