AC/DC Guitarist Angus Young - "A Lot Of Younger People Don't Know We Have Such A Long History; That's A Compliment To What We Do"
December 28, 2014, 9 years ago
Belgium's Studio Brussel caught up with AC/DC's Angus Young and Cliff Williams at the beginning of December to discuss the band's new album, Rock Or Bust. In the clip below they discuss the departure of guitarist Malcolm Young due to illness and AC/DC's enduring legacy:
According to Lapresse.ca, AC/DC are rumoured to be playing the Plains Of Abraham in Quebec City on September 2nd. The date is uncomfirmed as the band have only officially started rolling out Rock Or Bust World Tour dates in Europe starting in May. More news will be available soon.
As expected, tickets for AC/DC’s upcoming tour in support of their new album, Rock Or Bust, are selling fast, with the band’s July 1st stop in Dublin, Ireland at Aviva Stadium (52,000 capacity) selling out in less than 20 minutes, according to Independent.ie and their London Wembley Stadium (90,000 capacity) show on July 4th selling out in less than an hour as reported by NME. But the ‘highway to hell’ is still a bit bumpy due to scalpers - despite the fact that 48,000 tickets for AC/DC’s June 5th gig at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich were snapped up in the fastest sell-out ever for a stadium show, Thelocal.ch says that tickets were being resold within an hour at five times the price. Fans are “pissed off” by the way the tickets were sold and purchasers were allowed to buy up to eight tickets at a time through the internet and it appears some buyers acquired them specifically for resale.
