After roughly a week or rumors, AC/DC has announced their new lineup and a handful of European tour dates! AC/DC is now vocalist Brian Johnson, guitarists Angus and Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug in place of Phil Rudd as it was during the Power Trip festival, and bassist Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction, Alanis Morissette) in place of Cliff Williams. The bassist switch was expect, but the continued absence of Rudd is interesting consider he’s commented that he plans to return to the band.
On the tour and lineup change, AC/DC simply said: “We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘Power Up’ European Tour. Angus, Brian, Stevie, and Matt will be joined by Chris Chaney to carry the torch for Cliff. The tour will see us play shows across Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France & Ireland this Summer. We can’t wait to see you all out there.”
