AC/DC are set to be celebrated with an official series of 12 special Royal Mail stamps – see the images below.
The stamps will mark the 50th anniversary of the band’s debut album ‘High Voltage’ and will depict the group in live performances in venues around the world.
There will be 12 stamps in total, with four of them featuring the covers of four of the band’s classic albums – ‘High Voltage’, ‘Highway To Hell’, ‘Back In Black’ and ‘Power Up’. That quartet will be presented in a miniature sheet together.
The stamps are available to pre-order here and will go on general sale from February 18.
David Gold, director of external affairs and policy at Royal Mail, has said: “AC/DC is one of the most successful rock bands in the world. Over the past half century, they have recorded some of the best-known rock anthems and have given us ‘Back In Black’ – the biggest-selling rock album of all time. These stamps capture a sample of their electrifying live performances, along with some of their most iconic album covers, and celebrate their significant contribution to the world of rock music.”
AC/DC become the eighth artist to be honoured with their own dedicated Royal Mail stamp range, following on from The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Spice Girls and The Who.
Earlier this week, the band also announced a new European tour for 2025, consisting of 12 dates across 10 countries. Kicking off in Prague on June 26, it runs through to Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on August 21, their first Scottish show in a decade.
Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Friday (February 7) apart from their Paris show which will go on sale on next Monday (February 10). You can purchase tickets for the Edinburgh show here and the remaining European dates here.
The dates come ahead of the North American leg of their ‘Power Up’ tour, which kicks off in Minneapolis’ US Bank Stadium on April 10. You can view a full list of dates and purchase any remaining tickets for that tour here.
