AC/DC Brian Johnson stage cannon Las Vegas Power Up Tour

On August 1, during AC/DC’s Power Up Tour, a replica Civil War‑era cannon collapsed on stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas just before the band’s traditional finale “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You).” The prop fell and a projectile landed only inches from frontman Brian Johnson.

Johnson stepped back, avoided injury, and the band resumed the performance without interruption. No one was hurt. Fan‑shot videos spread on social media, with viewers praising Johnson’s calm reaction. The tour will continue across North America, with its final U.S. show scheduled for September 29 in Philadelphia.
