AC/DC announce first tour in 8 years, enlist JANE'S ADDICTION bassist

Fresh off their appearance at November's stacked Power Trip festival — the band's first show in seven years — AC/DC have announced the initial details of their first tour dates since 2016.

Dubbed the "Power Up" European trek, the run is set to kick off in May and wrap in August, and it will see the lineup of singer Brian Johnson, guitarists Angus and Stevie Young and drummer Matt Laug joined by new touring bassist Chris Chaney, of Jane's Addiction fame. He will play in place of Cliff Williams.

"We are thrilled to finally announce the 'Power Up' European Tour," AC/DC commented in a joint statement. "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."
