Just because a band was founded more than five decades ago doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t still continuing on, as proven by the impressive number of rock bands still touring after all those years on the road. Indeed, plenty of classic rock acts have maintained their popularity over the years, drawing impressive crowds as members age into their 70s and 80s. Here are three of the best classic rock bands<\/a> still touring today.<\/p>\n

AC\/DC<\/p>\n

Kicking off our list of rock bands still touring today is a band that\u2019s been electrifying the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll scene since 1973. More than five decades after they were first formed in Sydney, Australia, AC\/DC is still going strong.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s most recent album, Power Up, came out in 2020. However, the band\u2014which is currently comprised of Brian Johnson, Angus Young, Stevie Young, Matt Laug, and Chris Chaney\u2014has toured even more recently than that. <\/p>\n

Their Power Up Tour launched in May 2024 and has dates scheduled through December. When it wraps, the tour will have brought the musicians to Europe, North America, and Australia.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Man In Town<\/a> in 2024, Johnson and Angus Young revealed how they manage to stay out on the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always been an energetic person. I can\u2019t sit still for a long time,\u201d Johnson explained. \u201cSinging with AC\/DC is no small thing. It helps you a lot and keeps you alive all the time. Plus, when I see Angus perform on stage, I immediately think that I also have to give my maximum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Young agreed, stating, \u201cThe show feeds me, it\u2019s fun in a way, and that\u2019s the important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chicago<\/p>\n

Chicago is still continuing their storied career as one of the legacy rock bands still touring today. The band, which was first formed in 1967, released its most recent album, Chicago XXXVIII: Born for This Moment, in 2022.<\/p>\n

Currently, Chicago has shows across the U.S.<\/a> scheduled through November 2025.<\/p>\n

Still touring with the band today are original members Robert Lamm, Lee Loughnane, and James Pankow, all of whom are fast approaching their 80s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows why [the fans] come to the show. They might come to see these guys who have been together so long,\u201d Loughnane told the UCR Podcast<\/a> back in January. \u201cWhen they find out we can still play well and it\u2019s a really good show, they want to come back again. It\u2019s really, I think, attributed to the music and how we perform consistently year after year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Eagles<\/p>\n

The Eagles are still touring well into their fifth decade as one of the most famous rock bands of all time. Though the band hasn\u2019t released an LP since 2007\u2019s Long Road Out Of Eden, they\u2019ve continued to play shows in the 18 years since.<\/p>\n

The band billed their The Long Goodbye Tour as their final trek together. They announced the shows in 2023 and played throughout the following year.<\/p>\n

However, in 2025, the band began a residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, with Don Henley as the only original member on the lineup. Fellow musicians Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, both of whom have been with the band for decades, are joined by Vince Gill and Deacon Frey in the band.<\/p>\n

The Eagles are scheduled to put on performances<\/a> at the impressive venue through November. As for what happens after that, The Eagles have yet to share any future plans.<\/p>\n
