AC/DC goes on tour and plays nine concerts in Germany

The hard rock band AC/DC ("Highway To Hell", "Thunderstruck") is going on tour again this summer and will play nine concerts in Germany. The Australians made the announcement on Monday. The band led by guitarist and founder Angus Young (68) will be performing in Gelsenkirchen, Munich, Dresden, Hockenheim, Stuttgart, Nuremberg and Hanover on their "Power Up" tour between May and August. Tickets go on sale on February 16.

It will be the first time AC/DC have gone on tour for almost eight years. Last year, the rock icons made their stage comeback at a festival in the USA after a seven-year break. Rumors about a tour had been circulating for some time. Last week, AC/DC fueled the speculation with a countdown on their website.

In addition to guitarist Angus Young, who always performs in school uniform, and long-time singer Brian Johnson, the "Power Up" tour will feature rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, who succeeded band founder Malcolm Young, who fell ill in 2014 and died in 2017. New to the band are former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney and drummer Matt Laug, who performed with AC/DC at last year's "Power Trip" festival.
