AC/DC Schedules First Australian Tour Since 2001

May 9, 2009

According to The Courier-Mail, Ango-Australian hard rock legends AC/DC will bring their Black Ice World Tour to Australia in February.

The band will play five shows in Australia, including a date at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre at Nathan in Brisbane on February 25.

Their first Australian tour since 2001 is their largest yet, with 48 semi-trailers required to shift sets around the country.

Tickets will be available for $99, or $149.90 for the best seats.

Promoter Garry Van Egmond said the band gave specific instructions to keep prices reasonable.

"They want everybody to be able to afford it," he said. "They won't allow pre-sale selling — it will be 9:00 a.m. on a Monday and the same for everyone, there is no preferential treatment."

Unfortunately, Townsville fans, who campaigned to get AC/DC to visit their city, will miss out with promoters saying the were unable to host the outdoor show in north Queensland as it would be held in February, during the wet season.

"We're very sorry but it's during the wrong time of the year, and (Townsville fans) may have to come to Brisbane," Van Egmond said.
