The Pretty Reckless to Support AC/DC on 2024 PWR Up European Tour

Taylor Momsen and the Pretty Reckless will support AC/DC on the “Hells Bells” band’s upcoming 2024 European tour. The news was announced on Monday morning (March 25) when AC/DC shared a poster for their first Euro swing in eight years, which will feature the “Only Love Can Save Me Now” band serving as the only opener on all 24 dates of the stadium outing slated to kick off on May 17 at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

“It’s f–king AC/DC. That’s it,” the band says when asked to describe their excitement about hitting the road with the “Dirty Deeds” icons.

AC/DC’s first European tour in nearly a decade will find the band playing with a line-up featuring singer Brian Johnson, guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney replacing longtime bassist Cliff Williams; Williams retired from the band at the conclusion of their 2016 Rock or Bust tour, returning to the fold briefly for the 2020 Power Up album. Johnson was temporarily replaced by Guns ‘N Roses singer Axl Rose in 2016 due to Johnson’s battle with hearing loss issues.

The AC/DC tour will hit Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Switzerland before touching down at London’s Wembley Stadium for a pair of shows on July 3 and 7, then moving on to Germany, Slovakia and Paris and winding down at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland on August 17. The European tour is the first run of gigs since AC/CD’s long-awaited return to the stage at last year’s all-star hard rock Power Trip Festival in Indio, California.
