AC/DC was formed in 1973 by brothers Malcom and Angus Young, with Angus Young the only remaining original member.

Founded in Sydney, the group takes their name from the abreviation of the "alternating current / direct current" electricity. Suggested by Malcolm and Angus's sister, Margaret Young, the group thought the name was representative og their high energy and powerful music style.

The group toured the wold, playing to soldout arenas, and have sold more than 200 million albums over the past five decades. After semi-retiring, the current members re-grouped to release their 2020 album Power Up, which went o number one in more than 20 countries.
