AC/DC made headlines in 2020 when the band reunited following a five-year hiatus with a new album from its Back In Black era lineup of Johnson, guitarist Angust Young, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, and guitarist Stevie Young, who replaces his late uncle and co-founding guitarist Malcolm Young who died in 2017. The band’s first studio album in six years, Power Up, arrived on November 13th via Columbia Records and Sony Music Australia.
