AC/DC to Tour Australia and NZ (New Dates Added)

AC/DC have finally announced dates for Australia and New Zealand on their Black Ice World Tour. All dates announced so far have been about a week apart allowing for extra shows in each city which will no doubt sell out quickly. The last time AC/DC toured Australia was in 2001 on their Stiff Upper Lip Tour which I witnessed in Melbourne and was blown away by the energetic performance from these rock legends.

Tickets go on sale Monday 25th May 9am from Ticketmaster. Prices have been kept fairly reasonable compared to other touring legends ranging from $99 to $150. Supporting AC/DC for the whole tour of Australia will be Wolfmother. The setlists for their current European tour have been the same for each show which is the way AC/DC usually tour so it is expected that the same setlist will be bought to Australia. It includes 4 from the latest album Black Ice and a selection of their classics. (see below).

Dates so far are:
January 30, 2010 - Wellington, venue to be confirmed
February 6, 2010 - Auckland, venue to be confirmed
February 11, 13 + 15, 2010 - Melbourne, Etihad Stadium
February 18, 20 + 22, 2010 - Sydney, ANZ Stadium
