Imagine witnessing a moment where a legendary rock band defies the odds and history—AC/DC has done just that by performing their classic song “Jailbreak” live for the first time in an astonishing 34 years. This rare and exciting event took place during their recent concert in Melbourne, kicking off their Australian tour on Wednesday, November 12th. And here’s the kicker—fans who were there got a nostalgic treat that’s been absent from their live sets for over three decades.
If you're eager to catch a glimpse of this iconic performance, tickets are available here (https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l9Pt3/pubref:ac-dc*jailbreak-button/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fac-dc-tickets%2Fperformer%2F821). During their 21-song setlist, the band delivered a powerful mix of hits, including staples like “Back in Black,” “Thunderstruck,” “Hells Bells,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Whole Lotta Rosie,” and the grand finale, “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).”
But here’s where it gets interesting—while “Jailbreak” was played during this Melbourne show, it was notably absent from the setlist for the upcoming 2025 North American leg of the “Power Up” tour. This omission has left fans wondering whether it will make a comeback during the band’s 2026 North American tour, which is set to start on July 11th in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tickets for that tour are also available here (https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l9Pt3/pubref:acdc*jailbreak-2026/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fac-dc-tickets%2Fperformer%2F821).
