The rescheduled dates of
AC/DC's North American tour — which will be the band's first concerts here with
GUNS N' ROSES frontman
Axl Rose on lead vocals — have been announced. The group will kick things off at Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina on August 27, just five days after
Rose completes his summer stadium run with
GUNS N’ ROSES.
"This band has got a ton of energy and you’re going to see a fusion of all that terrific chemistry that we have felt ever since rehearsals in Lisbon," says
AC/DC guitarist
Angus Young. "I want to get back out there onstage in the U.S. with these guys so our audience can see and feel it too."
AC/DC will make up the ten shows it was forced to cancel earlier this year when singer
Brian Johnson had to abruptly come off the road or face total hearing loss.
The group recruited
Axl Rose for 22 shows, including a dozen stops in Europe. There are four dates left on the European run.
Young said recently that he's not sure what
AC/DC will do after wrapping up its current tour, remarking, "We were committed to finishing this tour, so that's been our main goal, and
Axl's helping us. I know he's very excited. He keeps saying, can he do more? But we don't really know at the end how we will [proceed]."
