It's Auckland's turn for some rock'n' roll, as music legends AC/DC pump up the volume at Western Springs Stadium tonight.

Thousands of fans are expected for the concert - the last of a three-date New Zealand tour.

The first two shows were held in Wellington last week.

Performing Downunder as part of their Black Ice World Tour, the group will treat fans to one of the largest stage productions ever seen in New Zealand.

The production has been moved to Auckland on 48 semi-trailers.

The main gates will open at 5.30pm but surrounding fields will open at 3pm.

The Checks will take to the stage from 6.35pm to 7.05pm, followed by veterans Shihad, from 7.35pm to 8.20pm.

AC/DC will then take centre stage, rocking it for approximately two hours from about 9pm.
