October 15, 2009

According to Billboard.com, Anglo-Australian hard rock legends AC/DC are among the finalists for the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards, which will be handed out at a special reception in New York on November 5. The awards are based on global box office numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009.

The finalists for the Top Tour and Top Draw awards, which acknowledge the top grossing and ticket selling tours, respectively, are the same three global treks: AC/DC's "Black Ice" tour, U2's "360" tour and MADONNA's "Sticky & Sweet" tour.

Other than the Boxscore-related awards, Ozzy Osbourne will be named 2009 Legend Of Live.
