AC/DC Extends Tour Dates, Adds Rock Band Game to New Releases
As reported by Billboard.com, AC/DC has extended its Black Ice tour of North America into early 2009. New dates begin Dec. 20 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and run through Jan. 31 in Nashville.
Tickets begin going on sale Saturday (Oct. 4). Eighteen previously announced shows have already sold out, according to the band’s label, Columbia.
The tour comes in support of a new album of the same name, due Oct. 21 exclusively via Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club stores and AC/DC’s Web site. First single “Rock’n'Roll Train” is No. 3 this week on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart.
“Black Ice” won’t be the only AC/DC title available exclusively at Wal-Mart. In November, the retailer will be the only U.S. source for “AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack,” a special edition of the popular video game devoted to the veteran Australian band. In December, the game will be available through multiple retailers in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
“AC/DC Live” includes 18 songs from the band’s DVD “Live at Donnington.” This will be the first “Rock Band” version focused on one group. “Guitar Hero” already has an Aerosmith game and is planning another based around Metallica.

Well, I know I went on & on about how me & my daughters would be seeing AC/DC at thier 1st stop in Wilkes-Barre, PA, we won’t be going. Due to the $92 price tag on tix. Yes, they ARE worth it, and if I knew a few months in advance, I’d have gotten 3 tickets for us.
I just think the price was ( in general ) kinda steep. But apparently there are fans out there w/cash in hand, cuz the show, as well as 18 others, sold out FAST as hell !!!!
Luckily, I seen the band 3 times since I was 13 in 1988. But my 10 & 8 yr old daughters have been fans since they were 4 & 2…doesn’t that just break your heart Angus ? lol !!!!
Oh, well….they’ll still be jammin’ AC/DC for years to come !
Guys,..put out a new live DVD too, before it’s all said & done, K ?
