AC/DC's first European concert in eight years 'confirmed'
They're coming to Europe in 2024, apparently
AC/DC’s first European concert in eight years has been seemingly confirmed by a German mayor.
Dieter Reiter, the mayor of Munich, told Bayerischer Rundfunk reporter Mathias Flasskamp that AC/DC will perform a concert at Munich’s Olympiastadion on Wednesday 12th June 2024.
Rieter apparently let details of the concert slip at a council meeting, and he remarked to Flasskamp afterwards: "I didn't know it was supposed to be a secret.”
If true, the show will be AC/DC’s first on European soil since they rocked Dusseldorf Espirit Arena on 15th June 2016 when Axl Rose was fronting the band. They haven’t played in Europe with Brian Johnson since July 2015.
AC/DC’s legions of fans will be hoping the Munich gig is part of a larger European tour including UK dates.
The legendary band made their triumphant comeback at Power Trip festival in California on Saturday 7th October, with Brian Johnson and Cliff Williams both returning to the live fray.
The German concert news comes as drummer Phil Rudd told New Zealand's Stuff he’s set to perform live with AC/DC after being forced to sit out of Power Trip due to visa issues.
"I look forward to playing with them again in the future," he told Stuff. "Rock on."
AC/DC formed 50 years ago in Sydney, Australia and next year marks the five-decade landmark of the start of their recording career.
To mark the band’s 50th anniversary, UK fans have launched a campaign to get AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ to the Christmas Number 1.
AC/DC make their live comeback at Power Trip:
