AC/DC Confirm New Record & Tour For 2013

SYDNEY › MUSIC › GIGS & FESTIVALS | AC/DC

After the swirl of hype earlier this year surrounding a new record and tour for AC/DC, this morning James Young – Triple M’s music reporter and owner of Cherry Bar – revealed that both have been confirmed for 2013.

Earlier in the year the group were in the midst of speculation, with singer Brian Johnson commenting in January that one of their members was ill which had affected work on the new studio album. On top of this guitarist Malcolm Young remarked in May that a new record would be at least a year or two off.

With 2013 marking the 40th anniversary for the heavy metal pioneers, it seems like the perfect time for the anticipated record and tour to go ahead.

The memories ... ! They came and played a gig at our high school in 1974 just before they recorded their first album ... I paid I think $2 admission. I was a 13 year old girl but I knew good rock and roll when I heard it ... it was in a word awesome, I remember Angus especially he has not changed in 40 years, same headbanging and the UNIFORM he had it on even then!! How lucky for us to see them at the very very beginning of their careers.
