Originally performed by AC/DC, Back in Black was performed five times during the Big Day Out festival in 2010, each time joined by Jet singer Nic Cester. The song was done as a tribute to AC/DC themselves. Nic Cester himself is also Australian and his band Jet have a similar style to AC/DC, likely why he was chosen to sing this cover. It was not performed after the Big Day Out festival with the exception of one performance in June 2010 where the band happened to be in Italy as well as Cester for San Siro 2010.

The song appeared on the setlist for Glastonbury Festival 2016, and the band themselves hinted beforehand that they may bring a special guest in during the show, most likely to sing the song, but for unknown reasons it wasn't played and the song was crossed off the setlist. It was instead performed in 2017 at the Reading Festival with AC/DC's Brian Johnson singing. The performance was uploaded officially on YouTube by the band after Malcolm Young's death.
