AC/DC will open their latest tour on February 2 in Tacoma, Washington playing 20 dates across the United States, ending with an April 4 show at New York's Madison Square Garden. The rockers will then head to Europe, starting on May 7 in Lisbon and culminating on June 12 at a 46,000-capacity park in Aarhus, Denmark.
AC/DC returned without founding member Malcolm Young, who has retired due to dementia. The band has also parted ways with drummer Phil Rudd.
Young's brother Angus remains the lead guitarist - known, even at age 60, for sporting his signature schoolboy outfit. Lead singer Brian Johnson, 68, said that AC/DC members were "constantly surprised and amazed at how we keep the success going."
"A good footballer, a good ice hockey player, they don't want to retire, but unfortunately sometimes there's a time when you have to call it quits. So it's an ongoing thing with us; we never say no, and we never say never."
