AC/DC Expand 2025 Australian Tour With Second (And Final) Shows In All Cities
Upon going on sale last week (June 26th), the band officially broke Ticketek's record for the largest on-sale day in the vendor's 45-year-plus history – which they previously set themselves back in 2009 with their Black Ice stadium tour. According to promoter Christo Van Egmond, tickets for the Power Up tour moved at an average of 1,200 tickets per second. 'The demand has been extraordinary,' he said. 'This second Perth show will definitely be the final show that will be added to the Australian tour. We can confirm that absolutely no further shows will be added.'
Joining the tour as main support will be Melbourne's Amyl & The Sniffers, with local openers for each show to be announced in the coming months. AC/DC's current line-up for live shows includes founding member and guitarist Angus Young, longtime lead singer Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist (and Angus' nephew) Stevie Young, American session drummer Matt Laug (filling in for absent drummer Phil Rudd) and former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney (not to be confused with The Living End's Chris Cheney) – who officially serves as Cliff Williams' stand-in following his retirement.

Australian court finds Apple, Google abused app store market power
Epic Games has just secured a win in its crusade against Apple and Google's app store policies: The Federal Court of Australia on Tuesday ruled that Apple and Google's engaged in anti-competitive conduct when it came to their respective app stores, ABC News reported. While Judge Jonathan Beach found that the two tech giants had abused their dominant position in the market for app distribution to limit competition, he rejected Epic's claims that the companies had engaged in 'unconscionable conduct.' Epic Games has been fighting Apple and Google's fee structure for in-app purchases in various jurisdictions around the planet. The company scored a major win against Apple this year in the U.S, and as a result, Fortnite returned to Apple's U.S. App Store after five years. Tuesday's ruling could yield a similar result for Epic in Australia: the company's CEO Tim Sweeny said that the Epic Games Store and Fortnite would return to the Apple App Store in the country soon. 'We welcome the court's rejection of Epic's demands that we distribute app stores from within the Google Play store, and Epic's attacks on other critical security protections that users rely on. However, we disagree with the court's characterisation of our billing policies and practices, as well as its findings regarding some of our historical partnerships,' a Google spokesperson said in an emailed statement. Meanwhile, Apple told ABC News that its app store is the safest way for users to get apps, and that it disagreed with the court's ruling on some of Epic's claims.

Epic Games wins partial victory in Australian court against Google and Apple
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Epic Games, the company behind the popular online game Fortnite, won a partial victory in an Australian court in U.S. billionaire chief executive Tim Sweeney's claim that Google and Apple engaged in anti-competitive conduct in running their app stores. Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach on Tuesday upheld key parts of Epic's claim that the tech giants breached Australian competition laws by misusing their market power against app developers and using restrictive trade practices. Google and Apple 's dominance of the app market had the effect of substantially lessening competition and breached Australian law, Beach found. But the judge rejected some of Epic's claim including that Google and Apple engaged in unconscionable conduct as defined by Australian law. Sweeney is also challenging Google and Apple dominance in the app markets through the courts in the United States and Britain. The litigation began in August 2020 when Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store expelled Fortnite because Epic installed a direct payment feature in the extraordinarily popular game. The court ruled both companies pressured app developers including Epic through contracts and technology to sell their products through the two dominant app stores. Epic posted online that the judgment was: 'Another HUGE WIN for Epic Games!' Apple said the company 'faces fierce competition in every market where we operate.' 'We welcome the Australian court's rejection of some of Epic's claims, however, we strongly disagree with the Court's ruling on others,' Apple said in a statement. Google said it would review the judgment. Google and Apple could potentially appeal the ruling before the Federal Court full bench. 'We disagree with the court's characterisation of our billing policies and practices, as well as its findings regarding some of our historical partnerships, which were all shaped in a fiercely competitive mobile landscape on behalf of users and developers,' a Google statement said. Beach has yet to release a 952-page judgment on Epic's case against Apple or his 914-page judgment on the case against Google. The judge gave an oral summary of his findings during a 90-minute hearing Tuesday. Lawyers will return to court on a date yet to be set to argue what Epic is entitled to in terms of damages.
