AC/DC Breaking All Previous Attendance Records In Australia
March 7, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Therockradio.com, the Australian leg of the AC/DC Black Ice World Tour is set to break all previous attendance records by any band.
Last Saturday AC/DC shook a capacity 50,000 crowd in Perth. The show included a tribute to late frontman Bon Scott during High Voltage. Scott and his family moved in an area close to Perth in 1956 after originally migrating from Scotland to Melbourne.
In previous weeks it was confirmed that AC/DC had sold a record-breaking 212,729 tickets for their three concerts at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney.
The Australian shows have been full of drama on and off the stage. During AC/DC's sold-out shows in Melbourne a 56-year-old man suffered a cardiac arrest and a woman started giving birth, later naming her son Jack Angus.
AC/DC will conclude the Australian tour with another concert at the Subiaco Oval in Perth on March 8, 2010.
They will play five more American shows beginning at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 9, 2010 before moving to Louisville, Kansas City, Des Moines and Milwaukee.
The band will wrap up its World Tour with 17 dates in Europe beginning May 14, 2010 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Tickets are still available for some of the European concerts.
