AC/DC Set River Plate on Fire With “T.N.T.” – A Performance That Drove the Rock World Wild

In December 2009, at the legendary River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, AC/DC turned a concert night into a full-blown rock earthquake with an unforgettable performance of “T.N.T.” Amid the deafening roar of tens of thousands of ecstatic fans, blazing lights, and explosive pyrotechnics, the iconic Australian rock band ignited the stage like a dynamite fuse lit by the first thunderous riff.

“T.N.T.” is one of AC/DC’s most iconic tracks, first released in 1975 as the title song of their Australian album, and later featured on the international release High Voltage (1976). With its hard-hitting rock sound, driving rhythm, and rebellious lyrics, “T.N.T.” quickly became a symbol of 1970s rock & roll, helping AC/DC carve their name into the global music scene.

However, it was the 2009 live performance that elevated the song to an entirely new level. The video recording of this explosive moment, uploaded to YouTube, has since garnered hundreds of millions of views, becoming one of the most-watched live rock performances online. Fans across the globe have heaped praise on the performance: from Angus Young’s electrifying, thunder-like guitar riffs, to Brian Johnson’s unmistakable powerhouse vocals, to the fiery stage setup and the raw energy exchanged between the band and the crowd—everything came together to create a truly unforgettable rock experience.

This wasn’t just a concert—it was a historic moment in rock music. It showed the sheer, unfiltered power of live rock and reaffirmed why AC/DC remains one of the greatest bands of all time. T.N.T.—true to its name—blew the roof off any expectations of a standard rock performance. And if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out on a true high point of rock & roll history.
