AC/DC
The 2015 AC/DC world tour is coming and they could contain the band's last ever dates.
Brian Johnson said back in April: "That would be a wonderful way to say bye bye," when it was revealed that the band were planning a tour to mark their 40th anniversary, which would involve 40 concerts in 40 different venues.
And the UK and Ireland dates are out now and they'll play Glasgow's Hampden Park on June 28th, Dublin's Aviva Stadium on July 1st and London's Wembley Stadium on July 4th. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 17th December.

AC/DC

The band released their 17th studio album, 'Rock Or Bust' last week of one of the bad periods in their history - remember that guitarist and founding member Malcolm Young was forced to retire due to dementia and drummer Phil Rudd is scheduled to appear in court in New Zealand in February, accused of threatening to kill and possession of drugs. He may get up to seven years in jail if found guilty of all charges.

AC/DC 2015 UK STADIUM DATES
June 28th: Glasgow Hampden Park
July 1st: Dublin Aviva Stadium
July 4th: London Wembley Stadium
