AC/DC has just been recognized with a special collection of stamps from the esteemed Royal Mail in the UK, further solidifying their legendary status in the world of rock music. This exciting stamp collection is set to be released on February 18 and is currently available for pre-order by fans eager to commemorate the band?s incredible legacy. This release is particularly significant as it marks the 50th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, High Voltage, which first hit the shelves in 1975. The collection showcases eight stunning live photographs captured throughout the band?s illustrious career, along with four unique stamps that pay tribute to the iconic album covers of High Voltage, Highway to Hell, Back in Black, and Power Up.
Fans can explore the full range of 12 stamp designs featured in the gallery below, each one a testament to AC/DC’s enduring influence and popularity in the music industry. The collection consists of a remarkable total of 38 varying options and exclusive collector?s sets that are sure to delight AC/DC enthusiasts. These include intricately designed presentation packs and collector sheets, prestige sheets, and even commemorative medals honoring the electrifying track ?Live Wire? and the iconic Back in Black album, further enriching the experience for collectors.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t AC/DC’s first foray into the world of philately. Back in 2018, the band was also celebrated with a stamp collection in their home country of Australia, although it faced some backlash from fans who were disappointed that several stamps deviated from the original Australian cover art. This recent collection from Royal Mail adds to the growing list of rock legends who have been honored in this way, following in the footsteps of The Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, The Rolling Stones in 2022, Iron Maiden in 2023, and The Who last year.
After a period of relative inactivity over the past decade, AC/DC made a triumphant return to the stage last summer with a thrilling 24-date European tour. Looking ahead, the band is set to embark on their first North American tour in over eight years, kicking off on April 10 in Minneapolis. Following their North American leg, they will return to Europe to continue sharing their electrifying music with fans across the continent.
