June 29, 2016, 8 years ago
Having just announced rescheduled US dates for the final leg of their massive Rock Or Bust world tour, legendary rockers AC/DC are proving the extraordinary value of the band’s global brand appeal with the announcement of a multitude of new and unique licensing partnerships around the world including a new spirit named Thunderstruck Tequila.
Perryscope Productions and Epic Rights, the licensing and merchandising companies that represent AC/DC, have collaborated with Fabrica de Tequilas Finos to create Thunderstruck Tequila. The high quality tequila will be available in Silver, Reposado and Añejo and will retail from $29.99 - $39.99. Thunderstruck Tequila is scheduled to hit shelves in mid-2016.
While packing out stadiums across Europe to rave reviews from critics and fans alike this summer, AC/DC have announced full details of their re-scheduled US tour dates. The AC/DC Rock Or Bust World Tour returns to America for ten final shows in August and September 2016. They are in Greensboro, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Columbus, Cleveland. Detroit, Buffalo, New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Original tickets will be honoured for all rescheduled dates, refunds are available at point of purchase.

AC/DC have played to over 4 million fans on the Rock Or Bust World Tour and the current lineup of Angus Young, Cliff Williams, Stevie Young, Chris Slade and Axl Rose are set to continue their global trek with a return, for the final leg, to the US.
Not for the first time last year, AC/DC were hailed as the biggest selling live act in the world when, sadly, vocalist Brian Johnson was forced to step down midway through the US tour after being advised by doctors that he risked total hearing loss if he continued to perform live. For the shows in Europe with Axl Rose on vocals, AC/DC have been surprising fans by including rarely played tunes from their formidable archive such as “Rock ‘N’ Roll Damnation”, “Riff Raff”, “Touch Too Much” and “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)”.
Angus Young commented: “This band has got a ton of energy and you’re going to see a fusion of all that terrific chemistry that we have felt ever since rehearsals in Lisbon. I want to get back out there onstage in the US with these guys so our audience can see and feel it too.”
