Earlier this year, AC/DC played a handful of US dates in support of 2014’s Rock or Bust, and by all reports, they’re still firing on all cylinders (see our review here). And while that 14-date tour played arenas, the band have just announced a 20 date tour that will find them playing stadiums, wrapping up at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. The 2015-2016 lineup of the band might have changed a little, given that co-founder Malcolm Young is sadly suffering from dementia and Phil Rudd is suffering from, well, being a douchebag. Yet replacing them with Malcolm’s cousin Stevie and Chris Slade, who’s already played in the band, hasn’t made a noticeable difference, and on their longest US tour in support of the album yet, many of you will get a chance to find out. Here’s where they’ll be playing:
