As previously reported, AC/DC are returning to South America. The last time South America witnessed the sheer power of AC/DC in concert, the band was breaking balls. Well, AC/DC's bound for South America once again and this time they're riding in on their Rock 'n Roll Train as part of their Black Ice World Tour.
AC/DC has announced that they will perform at Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo on November 27 and at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires on 2 December.
These mark the first South American concert dates for AC/DC since the band performed a series of shows in October of 1996 as part of the Ballbreaker World Tour.
Tickets for the Morumbi Stadium concert in Sao Paulo go on-sale to the public and members of the Fan Club through a special allotment on Thursday, 1 October and for the River Plate Stadium concert in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, 29 September.
