AC/DC : The cult group in concert in 2024, we tell you everything
An event for hard rock and metal fans. The cult group AC/DC announces its big return to France after eight years of absence. Here is the information.
A legendary group
Hard rock legends. We owe them in particular the legendary title Highway to Hellor the album Back In Black, best-selling record in the world by a group, and behind Thriller by Michael Jackson. AC DC debuted their very first concert on December 31, 1973 at Checkers Nightclub in Sydney, Australia, where the band originated.
More than fifty years later, and despite major changes (the death of Bon Scott, the first singer in 1980, and that of Malcolm Young – guitarist and co-founder in 1973 of the group with his brother Angus, who died in 2017) , the group that counts more than 200 million record sales in their career is still standing.
Eight years later, AC/DC returns to France
We thus learn that the Australian team will return to France after eight years of absence. More precisely, AC/DC will perform in concert on August 13 at the Paris Longchamp Hippodrome, as part of a European tour in honor of their 50th anniversary. This anniversary tour will begin on May 17 in Germany and end on August 17 in Ireland.
The tour is called Power Up, named after their last studio album, which ranked number one in around twenty countries upon its release. Event : Brian Johnson will be good on vocals. He who was affected by hearing problems was confirmed by the group. He will be accompanied by Angus Young on guitar (now the only founding member of the group), Stevie Young on rhythm guitar, and Matt Laug on drums. However, we learn that Cliff Williams will not participate in the tour, and will be replaced on bass by Chris Chaney.
The event is huge for the fans. We recall thatAngus Young and his band have not played in France since their concert at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille in 2016, during the tour Rock or Bust. They had also performed a year earlier at the Stade de France for two evenings. Note that the event will take place just after the Paris Olympic Games, precisely two short days after the closing ceremony. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 16 at 10 a.m.
