vloors Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 https://www.triplem.com.au/story/eddie-mcguire-says-ac-dc-will-tour-australia-with-brian-johnson-later-this-year-154120 Eddie McGuire has dropped some "very strong mail" on the Hot Breakfast that AC/DC will be touring Australia with Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd later this year. “My mail is there will be a new album released by AC/DC February, March this year, but also that AC/DC will be touring Australia October, November 2020,” Ed said. “And after a lot of work and a lot of technical research they have been able to get a hearing aid for Brian Johnson who will be out front and even Phil Rudd might be back in the group either playing percussion or drums… with Angus (Young) they’ve got three of, well not the originals, but three of the old-timers if you like back there. “They’ve had some changes of the journey but [it will be] Angus out front, Brian Johnson lead singing, and maybe Phil Rudd.” 2020 marks the 40-year anniversary of Brian Johnson joining the iconic Aussie hard rock band, and it's been four years since the last time he band toured with AC/DC. He had to leave the band as he struggled with ear issues in 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djones1225 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Been awhile since I've been hopeful for a release date, but honestly I'd say this is the last time I'm getting my hopes up. This better be it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildStar Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If they're not touring Australia until October/November they must be doing Europe/USA before that. They need to get this shit announced. People only have so much money for concert tickets. My diary is pretty stacked with expensive shows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djones1225 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Also just heard a interview with a fan and Malcolm from around the time of the Backtracks boxset release (2009) and Mal said before Black Ice, they signed a 2 album deal with Sony, they've done 2 records since then so maybe since then they've been negotiating a new deal.

jimisbatman Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I hope its true. Do they normally, announce and release in that short time frame though? And if they do/can, this gives me hope re:GNR EP rumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Ice was announced and RNR Train released as a single late August for a late October release, and Rock Or Bust was announced early October for a late November release with Play Ball released as a single at the same time (Though a clip had been used in an MLB ad on TV a couple weeks prior). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
