AC/DC have never been the most subtle band in the world, but schoolboy caps off to Angus Young’s band, the teaser campaign for the group’s eagerly-anticipated return has been handled rather deftly.

Having reactivated their social media channels yesterday (September 28) by posting a short video of the band’s iconic lightning bolt logo being switched on, the Australian rock giants have given a huge hint as to the title of their follow-up to 2014’s Rock Or Bust album, with the launch of a brand new website.

The website URL is included on a poster, featuring that same instantly-identifiable lightning bolt and the words ‘Are you ready SYD PWR UP’, which mysteriously appeared outside Angus Young’s old high school, Ashfield Boys, overnight, as reported by Triple M radio.

While the new website doesn’t feature a host of additional information as yet - attentive eyes will notice that the current AC/DC line-up, rumoured to include long-time members Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd alongside Angus Young and his cousin Stevie Young, is blanked out on the site - AC/DC fans can sign up to a mailing list for forthcoming news.

It’s happening, isn’t it?
