Pro-Shot Video Of AC/DC Drummer PHIL RUDD Performing ‘Thunderstruck’ Alongside Classical Orchestra In New Zealand

fter years away from the spotlight, AC/DC‘s iconic drummer Phil Rudd made his triumphant return to the stage. On July 26, 2025, Rudd appeared at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, performing live as part of the “Full Metal Orchestra” — a massive rock-meets-classical show featuring members of the Auckland Philharmonic, conducted by Sarah-Grace Williams. Together with Jon Toogood (SHIHAD) and a stellar lineup of rock vocalists, Phil delivered versions of AC/DC classics like “Thunderstruck”, “Back In Black” and the anthemic “It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock ‘N’ Roll)”.
