AC/DC - "Rock Or Bust" Video Available For Streaming In Germany Via VEVO
January 2, 2015, 9 years ago
Due to an ongoing dispute between YouTube and the GEMA - a performance rights organisation - some fans in Germany are unable to watch the new "Rock Or Bust" video from AC/DC. The clip can now be viewed below in Germany and everywhere else courtesy of a direct link posted by Vevo:
Hits Daily Double are reporting that although nothing is official yet, the word from sources inside the Recording Academy is that AC/DC (as well as Madonna and U2) have been booked to perform on the televised 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony.
Says HDD: "Each December, executive producer Ken Ehrlich makes an all-out effort to confirm a handful of performers for the show prior to the holiday break, during which it’s difficult to get hold of pretty much anyone in a position of authority, and these three perennial draws are precisely the kind of act Ehrlich would typically approach."
The Grammys will take place on February 8th. Stay tuned for more details and confirmations.
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.
