It will be the band’s first Australian tour since January 2001 and will - without any question - produce the most spectacular rock shows ever staged in this country.
Joining AC/DC on the Black IceAustralian tour as special guests is the Grammy and ARIA Award winning band Wolfmother.
AC/DC will blast their way through each of the five major capital cities where they will appear at outdoor stadiums with one of the largest stage productions ever seen. The production will be moved around the country by 48 semi-trailers during February and March 2010.
Tickets for this Rock and Roll EXTRAVAGANZA go on sale on:
Monday 25th May, 2009
There will be two ticket prices: $99 and $149.90
Dates on the Black Ice world tour in the US and Europe have sold out virtually as quickly as they were announced and the performances themselves have left the critics raving:
“AC/DC remain the gold standard for arena spectacle rock’n’roll.”
The Times (UK)
“Rock ‘n’ roll that outlasts time.”
“It's been way too long since someone tore the roof off the place like this.”
Orange County Register (LA)
The Australian tour comes on the back of the release of the hugely successful Black Ice album. Released on October 20, 2008 on Albert Productions and distributed by Sony Music, Black Ice sold close to 2 million copies globally in the first week of release and debuted at the number one spot in a staggering 29 countries.
Black Ice is AC/DC’s first new album in over eight years and it’s evident the band is still an incredible force in rock.
Black Ice has been certified Multi Platinum in eighteen countries, including the US, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, France, Italy, Argentina and the Czech Republic.
Additionally Black Ice has achieved Platinum status in five countries (including the UK and Spain) and Gold status in four countries (including The Netherlands, Poland and Brazil). With over 6.5 million copies of Black Ice shipped worldwide, combined with over 5.5 million in catalogue sold last year, AC/DC has surpassed The Beatles as the #1 selling catalogue artist in the US for 2008.
Don’t miss the rock event of the decade which is heading to Australia in February and March 2010!
