Black Ice World Tour
AC/DC has begun an 18-month tour promoting their new album Black Ice. The North American tour will begin on October 28th in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and continue until January 31, 2009. Then the tour will move to other venues in South America, Australia, Europe and Asia. Only some of the dates for the global shows have been announced so far. Black Ice is the first album from the group since Stiff Upper Lip in 2000. The tour is the first of theirs since 2001. Opening for AC/DC during the North American shows will be the band “The Answer,” a hard rock and blues rock band from Northern Ireland.
AC/DC was formed in 1973 by Malcolm and Angus Young, brothers who brought in Larry Van Kriedt, Dave Evans and Colin Burgess. They became most famous in the late 70’s, thanks to the success of their album High Voltage. Black Ice, the album, was released in North America on October 20th.
