No good news for Swiss fans of the iconic rock band AC/DC: their concert on June 29 at Zurich's Letzigrund stadium sold out in just eight minutes.
If you wanted to get a ticket, you had to be ultra-fast. Just like at the concert by pop icon Taylor Swift.
"Power UP" is the name of the tour, named after the last AC/DC studio album. Between May and August, concerts are planned in 21 countries, in Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France, Ireland - and Switzerland.
Back on tour for the first time in almost eight years
It will be the first time in almost eight years that the hard rock band AC/DC ("Highway To Hell", "Thunderstruck") will go on tour.
Last year, the rock icons led by 68-year-old guitarist and founder Angus Young made their stage comeback at a festival in the USA after a seven-year break.
Rumors about a tour had been circulating for some time. Last week, AC/DC fueled the speculation with a countdown on their website.
In addition to guitarist Angus Young, who always performs in school uniform, and long-time singer Brian Johnson, the "Power Up" tour will feature rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, who succeeded band founder Malcolm Young, who fell ill in 2014 and died in 2017.
New to the band are former Jane's Addiction bassist Chris Chaney and drummer Matt Laug, who performed with AC/DC at last year's "Power Trip" festival.
