Australian rock fans are getting something special this weekend! A brand-new TV documentary, “AC/DC: The World’s Greatest Rock Band,” will air on Sunday, November 2 at 9:00 p.m. (AEST) on Channel 7 and 7plus. The timing couldn’t be better, as it arrives just days before AC/DC kicks off their first Australian tour in almost a decade.
This one-hour special tells the incredible story of how two brothers from Sydney, Angus and Malcolm Young, created one of the most powerful rock bands in history. From small pubs in Australia to sold-out stadiums around the world, AC/DC’s journey has inspired millions of fans and musicians alike.
The documentary includes rare footage and never-before-seen clips, along with exclusive interviews from some of rock’s biggest names. Fans will hear from Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Tim Rogers (You Am I), and members of Amyl and the Sniffers and Wolfmother. Each of them shares stories and insights about how AC/DC changed the sound of rock music forever.
The release of the special also leads directly into AC/DC’s Power Up Australian Tour, which begins on November 12 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and ends on December 14 in Brisbane. The band will also perform in Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth. Supporting acts include Amyl and the Sniffers, plus local openers like The Casanovas, Large Mirage, Oscar the Wild, The Southern River Band, and Headsend.
This marks AC/DC’s first Australian tour since 2015, and excitement is through the roof. With more than 200 million albums sold worldwide, AC/DC remains one of the most successful and beloved rock bands of all time. Their classic album Back in Black is still considered one of the best-selling records in history and a cornerstone of rock music.
For fans, the upcoming documentary offers more than nostalgia—it’s a celebration. It’s a chance to look back at AC/DC’s roots, their rise to fame, and their unshakable energy that continues to move crowds nearly 50 years later.
As concert dates approach, “AC/DC: The World’s Greatest Rock Band” will give viewers a perfect warm-up. It reminds everyone—old fans and new—why AC/DC remains the heartbeat of Australian rock and one of the greatest musical exports the country has ever produced.
