Two dates Wednesday 3rd and Sunday 7th, tickets on general sale tomorrow.

Will they put an extra date on between?

Or is it more about resting Brian Johnson's voice, he is 76 years old after all?

I'm assuming there's the option for 3 extra dates

But he's had voice problems in the past?

Without being ageist that's a big ask.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to go, and an extra date might make that possible, I seem to recall he didn't tour a few years ago due to the said health problems, didn't Axl Rose sit in for him?


Fun fact, the first Mrs Johnson got a multi million pound divorce settlement, her current partner is none other than Malcolm Macdonald.

Brian Johnson’s hearing problems have been fixed now I believe.
Still, they are in their 70s and so need rest between shows.
Past their best but still a huge draw. Hoping to get my ticket sorted tomorrow.

I think this is a sensibly put together schedule, Brian's voice will need recovery time. It's ludicrously priced but for me it represents the opportunity to see one of my favourite live bands for the final time. I'll be grabbing a ticket tomorrow

I saw AC/DC at Wembley in 1979, supporting The Who (The Stranglers also played). Bon Scott was the singer then.

There was a PA failure during one of their songs. The band didn’t realise, and carried on playing. Watching them giving it the full rockstar cliche performance in total silence was very funny, and has stayed with me.

I'm tempted to try- do you know how much the tickets are?

If you haven't seen them before then you should go for it as it may be the last chance given how old they are - even though with no Malcolm, it's not quite the same.

Luckily I've seen them a few times in the past and at smaller venues but I won't pay those prices for Wembley Stadium. Did that a few years ago and the sound is crap and you can't really see them apart from on the big screens unless you want to fight for a place at the front (I'm too old for that now)

Never seen them live , is it worth it now ?
I saw them on the last tour. It’s quite a show, I’d say yes.

Also seen them in the 80s and a couple of times in between.

You often need a special ticket to get down the front these days, inner rings and golden rings etc; general pitch admission doesnt cut it.

Hives are worth a mention as their support act as well - seen them a couple of times live and brilliant on both occasions.

Great energy.
