Rocking Out with Akka Dakka

As one of Sydney’s proudest rock bands, AC/DC made it from the land down under to the biggest stages of the world. Their contagious rock tunes, filled with memorable hooks, allowed them to sell a whopping 200 million records worldwide. But did you know that the Aussies have their own way of saying the band’s name?

In Australia, you don’t say “ACDC”; you say “Akka Dakka!” What’s strangest is that ‘Akka Dakka’ doesn’t mean anything in particular, as it’s simply an Australian way of referring to one of the country’s best-known rock bands.
