Video footage available of AC/DC autographing a baby

If you thought that the title of the article was just for clickbait, you are unfortunately mistaken. AC/DC made a surprise appearance at a pop-up event in Toronto on Wednesday night, where one dedicated fan even got guitarist Angus Young to sign their baby, as per Loudwire. While the event primary served as a haven for fans to buy exclusive merch and view iconic memorabilia—such as one of Young’s original stage-worn schoolboy outfits—the band members themselves unexpectedly dropped in. Though public appearances at these pop-ups are rare, Young and the crew stuck around to greet attendees, autograph merch, and, in one memorable instance, sign a infant.

Upcoming shows:

• Sunday, September 20, 2026 – Winnipeg, MB, Canada – Princess Auto Stadium
• Friday, September 25, 2026 – East Rutherford, NJ, USA – MetLife Stadium
• Tuesday, September 29, 2026 – Philadelphia, PA, USA – Lincoln Financial Field

AC/DC‘s Power Up tour, which began in May 2024, has been much simpler than their Rock or Bust tour of 2015–16. They have stated that the event in Philadelphia on September 29 will mark the end of this tour, but they have made no mention of their future intentions.

Formed in Sydney in 1973 by brothers Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), AC/DC is an iconic Australian band known for its signature high-energy sound. Though critics often label their music as hard rock, blues rock, or heavy metal, the band has always simply considered it “rock and roll.” The group served as a major influence on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—inspiring acts like Def Leppard and Saxon—and was widely viewed by critics as part of the new wave of stars taking over as classic rock pioneers stepped back. The original lineup featured drummer Colin Burgess, bassist Larry Van Kriedt, and vocalist Dave Evans, undergoing multiple roster shifts prior to the release of their 1975 debut album, “High Voltage”, initially issued only in Australasia.
