AC/DC
Black Ice Tour
Tickets $65-$93.50

WHAT TO EXPECT:
After a run through Europe, the Aussies return to the States in July for more shows — including five stadium gigs. After more than three decades of arena rock on the books, don't expect AC/DC to mix it up now — thunderous beats, blues-drenched buzzsaw riffs and Brian Johnson's trademark growl will all be present. And expect Angus Young's guitar-wielding, duck walking schoolboy alter ego to take center stage. "He's like Clark fucking Kent!" Johnson once told us of Young. "He goes into a phone booth and comes out as the 14-year-old imp, ready to rock!"

THE LAST TIME AROUND:
October 2008: AC/DC Return to the Road With Same Old Awesome Song and Dance
