AC/DC Announce Spring US Tour

It's not a very long run, but AC/DC are heading back to America for a leg of their PWR UP tour! I saw the band when they came through Ohio nearly a decade ago. It was a crazy great - and loud! - show.

Tickets go on sale Friday and you just know they will be spendy. Good luck if you are hoping to get seats!

These are all football stadium dates, so at least there will be lots of ticket inventory - if the scalpers don't get them all first.

That AC/DC Tour Rumor Gains Steam

I've been seeing rumors about an upcoming AC/DC tour announcement online the past few days. Apparently someone in the AC/DC camp posted a date for Minneapolis, MN on April 11. The post has since been deleted (obviously). Looks like a spring run is coming to America for sure and I bet the tickets are going on sale ASAP. Time will tell but I would think the announcement will be tomorrow or so.

I don't plan on attending this tour. I've seen AC/DC live before and I have to save my concert funds for other shows.

AC/DC Announce Gold Vinyl Reissues

I just need to keep telling myself "You don't need these records. You don't need these records." Still, it is very cool. To celebrate 50 years as a band, AC/DC will reissue their entire catalog on gold vinyl.

The albums are around $30 each and are available for pre-order now via the AC/DC website or Walmart. They ship next month.

AC/DC Tease Concert Announcement

It's all happening! Apparently AC/DC will tour and a big announcement is coming Monday. Get ready to overpay! I'll post the citites when they are announced.

If Only This Would Happen...

I just don't see AC/DC playing the Super Bowl halftime show. Even people who don't like rock music know AC/DC songs, but there's just no way. It will be a pop act I'm sure. Apparently Taylor Swift declined - and she's probably the biggest artists on the planet right now. Maybe I'll be wrong - and we will get a rock halftime show. Just don't bet on it.

Power Trip Festival Lineup Announcement Coming Today

Power Trip is a new metal festival and the rumored lineup is huge. Bands like Metallica, Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Tool, Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden.

Yep.

The promoter is Goldenvoice - they do Coachella, so we're talking deep pockets here. Power Trip will apparently take place October 6 - 8 at the same location as Coachella, which is the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California. That's not too far from Palm Springs.

At some point today, promoters will announce the official lineup and ticket prices. I expect both to be massive (ha).

Back to those "rumors." I'd consider them more confirmations when bands like Metallica and AC/DC literally tweet the same video as below with the saying "Are you ready for a Power Trip?" Then Sharon Osbourne was on Piers Morgan Uncensored and confirmed Ozzy's appearance and she also mentioned Metallica and AC/DC, so...

It will be interesting to see who rounds out the lineup. Will it be 70s and 80s metal or stray toward newer acts? I guess we will all know soon enough.

Are you ready for a Power Trip? https://t.co/9oGlfNjxW7 pic.twitter.com/ktC0ZWSi5i
