AC/DC Band Members: See 1970s Rock Icons Then and Now — Plus, Info On Their New Tour!

The rock legends still got it as they take Europe by storm this summer.

AC/DC Frontman Brian Johnson to Publish Memoir 'The Lives of Brian'

To paraphrase one of their most iconic songs, AC/DC is set to shake Europe all summer long on their first tour there in eight years. Longtime AC/DC band members Angus Young and Brian Johnson will be joined by guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug, and Jane’s Addiction’s bassist Chris Chaney for the PWR/UP tour, in support of their 2020 album Power Up.

To note that audiences are excited is an understatement: When tickets went on sale earlier this year, the guys were, let’s just say, pleasantly “Thunderstruck” to find out they sold 1.5 million tickets in just one day.

“We can’t wait to see you all out there,” the AC/DC band members said in a statement, and the tour kicks off May 17 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, before hitting Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France and Ireland by August’s end. Matching the public’s excitement is AC/DC’s opening act, Taylor Momsen’s The Pretty Reckless. “It’s f—ing AC/DC. That’s it,” they said in a release about the no-brainer decision of joining the titans of rock on their loud and wild ride throughout the continent.
