AC/DC removed "It’s a Long Way to the Top" from their 2025 tour to honor Bon Scott, the song’s co-writer and original frontman.

AC/DC has dropped their 1975 hit “It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)” from their Power Up world tour, marking its first live absence since 1979. The move honors original frontman Bon Scott, whose signature bagpipe riff proved difficult to replicate after the original pipes were destroyed in 1976. Although the song remains iconic and widely covered, AC/DC continues to exclude it from current performances.
