AC/DC Pop-Up Shops Coming to Montréal, Toronto and Winnipeg

Australia's most legendary rock band has hit Canada and is pursuing their trek out east. AC/DC fans will have a new way to celebrate the band’s return up North, with an official PWR/UP pop-up experience set to accompany every Canadian stop on the group’s 2026 stadium tour.

The temporary spaces will open in Montréal, Toronto and Winnipeg, offering fans a chance to immerse themselves in the AC/DC world before heading to the stadium. The pop-ups will feature limited-edition merchandise, collectibles, themed food and drinks, photo opportunities and tour-inspired displays.


The experience will also give fans access to exclusive city merchandise ahead of its wider release. Limited quantities of official event shirts and posters will be available at each location one day before they go on sale online or at the concert venue.

There will be plenty of opportunities to win prizes, including concert tickets, merchandise packages and VIP items. A replica Angus Young guitar will also travel between the pop-up locations, where fans can enter for a chance to win it. The guitar will later be signed by Young in Philadelphia before being awarded to one eligible entrant. Each city will also host a PWR/UP preview event before opening to the public. One hundred fans will be selected at random in each market to attend alongside media and invited guests, with attendees receiving a special gift.

The band started their Canada tour in Edmonton before making their way to Vancouver last week. The PWR/UP tour continues in the next few weeks in the Bible belt, before making its way back to Montréal in September, with their pop-up taking place at mythical venue Foufounes Électriques on September 11-12. On September 15 and 16, they'll set up shop at the Steam Whistle brewery and Winnipeg, MB on September 19 and 20 and The Pyramid.

Oasis Doc Trailer Shows Noel Gallagher Asking, ‘Will It Fall Apart Again?’

A trailer for the upcoming Oasis doc, Don’t Look Back in Anger, shows the Brothers Gallagher working through their past issues in the run-up to their celebrated 2025 comeback tour. The two-minute clip foreshadows a sense of catharsis in the film, set to open in IMAX theaters on Sept. 11. It will also be available to stream on Hulu by the end of the year.

The trailer opens with sound bites of Liam and Noel putting each other down in interviews before cutting to their reunion announcement. But even then, with the outward appearance of rapprochement, the siblings were struggling with their legacies and each other. “I just don’t see myself onstage with Liam,” Noel says. “I don’t really want to be going back with the tension. Will it fall apart again?” There’s a lot of fretting about the stage as they work through their anger, but of course we already know there’s a happy ending — or at least one that was more sweet than bitter.

Fontaines D.C. Preview New Album ‘Dopamine Chamber’ With Song ‘Marianne’

Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. are officially back and have announced their fifth album. Dopamine Chamber arrives on Oct. 16 via XL Recordings and the record’s lead single, “Marianne,” is out now.

“Marianne” pulls from the same post-punk chords of their last album Romance. With atmospheric drums and brooding guitar, Chatten beckons the listener to him like a snake oil salesman: “This year, you should come and stay here,” he sings. “You can follow my lead/I can help you disappear.” “Marianne” takes partial inspiration in the 2024 miniseries Ripley, which starred fellow Irishman Andrew Scott.
