ABOUT

PWRUP is a Canadian tribute act dedicated to embodying the rock n’ roll prowess of AC/DC. Since 2019, the group’s curation of an authentic live music performance has transported their fans to AC/DC’s live sound of the 70s and 80s.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few decades, AC/DC needs no introduction. The band’s musical blend of hard rock and blues has gone unmatched for the better part of the last forty years. Formed in 1974, AC/DC continues to produce albums and tour with their unmatched energy to this day.

With the band slowing down in its old age, the demand for their music has become higher than ever. PWRUP seeks to fulfil the need of generations of AC/DC fans by creating a show reminiscent of the band in their prime.

PWRUP caters to AC/DC fans by providing a variety of the band’s earliest to most recent hits. Vocalist John Kairis bounces between the charismatic stylings of Bon Scott and the gut grinding power of Brian Johnson. Lead guitarist Colin Wielenga produces an electrifying experience for fans as Angus Young. Bassist Tom Roche, rhythm guitarist Tim Wielenga and drummer Jake Von Egmond ground PWRUP in a solid and unwavering rhythm section.

PWRUP has become a well-known live entertainment staple as more and more fans experience the group’s unforgettable, high-energy performances. From the roaring Marshall amps, to the pounding and steady drum beats, every detail is spot on. Combining the attitude and energy of AC/DC is no easy feat yet PWRUP knocks it out of the park when it comes to putting on an electrifying show.

AC/DC and its music is not just a show, it is an experience that an audience member will remember for a lifetime. If you’re in need of your AC/DC fix, PWRUP is guaranteed to have fans rocking all night long.
