The Power Up tour will start on May 17th in Germany with 21 dates across Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France and Ireland, where it ends on August 17th in Dublin.
No word yet on U.S. dates.
Brian Johnson will be back on vocals following his having to pull out of the last tour after it started due to hearing issues. He was replaced by Axl Rose. Bassist Cliff Williams is sticking to his retirement and is being replaced by former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney; and drummer Phil Rudd is still out due to personal issues with Matt Laug, who filled in at Power Trip, doing the same.
Tickets on sale Friday. Details at AC/DC.com.
