AC/DC had been giving clues to their fans that there would be an announcement.
So it was.
In the early hours of this Monday, February 12, the band announced a tour of Europe.
After 8 years of stopping and exciting fans with their performance at Power Trip, in Indio (California), AC/DC announced 21 dates.
The band will start in Germany and other confirmed countries are Italy, Spain, Australia, Switzerland, Slovakia, Belgium, England, France, Ireland and the Netherlands.
AC/DC shared a video in which they announced that the tour is going to be called "Power Up."
The reactions of South American fans were surprised, as they thought that perhaps some countries on our continent were going to be announced.
However, it is expected that more dates will be announced in the future, some for South America and also North America, but there is no confirmation on this topic yet.

The musicians
Now without Malcom Young, the notable rhythm guitarist and brother of Angus, who died on November 18, 2017, the question is how he will form the band for this new tour.
According to AC/DC's own publications on their social networks, drummer Phil Rudd and bassist Cliff Williams will not be part of the Australian band in their next adventure.
The group's lineup will therefore be composed of guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Brian Johnson and guitarist Stevie Young (Angus's nephew), with the addition of Matt Laug, as in Power Trip, on drums. and former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney.
