AC/DC Tickets will be hard to find since this is the groups first organized tour since 2001.
AC/DC is a hard rock band that hails from Australia. The band was formed in 1973 by brothers, Angus and Malcolm Young. The band members of AC/DC consistently referred to their music as "rock 'n roll" although the media referred to their music as "hard rock."
Over the years AC/DC ended up going through many staff changes before they released their first album called High Voltage in the year 1975 (over 30 years ago). Their very successful album, Highway to Hell, was recorded in 1979. Tragically, their lead singer and co-songwriter, Bon Scott died in February 1980 from an alcohol overdose. After the sudden death of Scott, the group had considered splitting up but Brian Johnson an ex-Geordie singer was the musician selected as the replacement for Scott. The band's most popular and best selling album, Back in Black was released later that year.
The band announced their exciting new album, Black Ice, in June 2008. This album is scheduled for release on October 20, 2008, soon before their Black Ice tour starts.
