AC/DC reveal US dates

AC/DC have revealed a run of US dates as their Rock Or Bust world tour continues into 2016.

The announcement comes as the band gear up for the final show of their stint in Australia and New Zealand tonight.

The American run starts at the Tacoma Dome, Washington, on February 2 and ends at Madison Square Garden, New York, on April 4. Tickets go on sale on December 18 (Friday).

Rock Or Bust was released in November 2014. It’s AC/DC’s first album without mainman Malcolm Young, who retired due to dementia. Promo activities commenced without drummer Phil Rudd as a result of his legal problems, and he was replaced by Chris Slade before tour dates began.

Frontman Brian Johnson recently admitted that the band are aware that they can’t go on for ever, saying: “A good footballer, a good ice hockey player, they don’t want to retire – but there’s a time when you have to call it quits.”

But he added: “It’s an ongoing thing with us. We never say no, and we never say never. We just play every night and give it everything we’ve got. If that’s the secret of success, we’ll pass it on.”

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
