AC/DC Add More 'Ice' To Upcoming Tour

AC/DC has added a new date to the next leg of its North American "Black Ice" tour, and has also tapped the tour's opening act.

Northern Irish rockers The Answer will offer sole opening support for the Aussie hard-rock legends on their impending trek, which kicks off July 28 in Foxborough, MA. The outing - including the leg's latest addition, a Sept. 2 show in San Jose, CA - is scheduled to hit 18 cities through early September. Details are included below:

07/28 - Foxborough, MA - Gillette Stadium
07/31 - East Rutherford, NJ - Giants Stadium
08/02 - Albany, NY - Times Union Center
08/06 - Moncton, New Brunswick - Magnetic Hill Music Festiva
08/08 - Montreal, Quebec - Olympic Stadium
08/10 - Ottawa, Ontario - Scotiabank Place
08/14 - Chicago, IL - United Center
08/16 - Auburn Hills, MI - The Palace of Auburn Hills
08/18 - Grand Rapids, MI - Van Andel Arena
08/22 - Winnipeg, Manitoba - Canad Inns Stadium
08/24 - Regina, Saskatchewan - Mosaic Stadium
08/26 - Edmonton, Alberta - Commonwealth Stadium
08/29 - Vancouver, British Columbia - BC Place
08/31 - Tacoma, WA - Tacoma Dome
09/02 - San Jose, CA - HP Pavilion
09/04 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
09/06 - San Diego, CA - San Diego Sports Arena
09/08 - Anaheim, CA - Honda Center

The summer run comes on the heels of last October's "Black Ice," the band's first new studio effort in more than eight years. The album made history, debuting at No. 1 on the charts in 29 countries including the US, with stateside sales of more than 780,000 copies its first week.

"Black Ice" also became Columbia Records' biggest debut album since Nielson SoundScan sales tracking began in 1991, according to a press release. The successful first week was quite a feat, considering the album is sold exclusively at Walmart, Sam's Club and via the band's website.

The rock icons kicked off the initial leg of the "Black Ice World Tour" last October, marking the group's first live performance in five years. The long-awaited trek posted sellouts in 18 major markets, prompting encore performances in several cities, and broke sales records at a handful of North American venues.

The Answer's debut album, "Everyday Demons," hit stores in March. The set was recoded last year in Los Angeles with John Travis (Kid Rock, Static-X) producing.

I wish they'd come somewhere near Iowa. :*(

[Witch-king]

saw them the other night. one of the best live shows of all time, without a doubt.

[Fuzzz]

Wtf?! " The Answer's debut album 'Everyday Demons'..." ?!
The Answer's debut album is "Rise", which was released in 2006

[Rockin4Life]

I saw them the other night...

...and i jizzed in my pants

[Rhoads_1096]

No where near me.

[de-fexxx666]

The Answer isn't opening in Foxboro, Anvil is. And this is very old news.

[stiff-upper-lip]

wooo more dates. come back to England :P. and yes, The Answer's debut album is Rise, not Everyday Demons.

[zAg1619]

Love how you listed their second album as their debut album...

[maximumrocker]

i want to see them sooo bad!!!
hope i can get tix to the chicago

[.The_Axis.]

WTF!! I'm looking everywhere for these alleged Los Angeles show tickets... Yet they are nowhere, on Sep. 4 they have a show in FRESNO!! WTF! It says so on their website and on ticketmaster.. Why does it say LA here?

[sandman-105]

well everyday demons is their American debut album i guess since rise wasn't released in America (i think i might be wrong)

EDIT My B

[kenny t]

a saw them just last night at hamden in glasgow and it blew my fuking mind to bits!!!!!

[eliterun]

It was pretty good. The Answer are an average band, not too band for an opener. AC/DC still have a ton of energy left, even though they're all ancient by now.

[FearOfTheDuck]

I've seen AC/DC twice this year! So awesome!!! I hope they'll do some stadium or festival dates in the UK next year! The Answer are alright, i only liked 'under the sky', i think their sound is better suited to clubs not stadiums.

Checked.

[fede01_8]

come on! we are waiting for south america dates

[MetalManiac_86]

Got my tickets for Magnetic Hill in Moncton. I'm gonna need magnets on my shoes to stay standing straight at this one. Pumpppped.

[AlexC15]

BACK TO UK PLEAAAAASE!

[brentondig]

I heard Brian Johnson's voice on the last tour was very rough, and Angus looked in rough shape. Can anyone else confirm this?

[playinbass1432]

No Calgary date?

Get your shit together, Malcolm

[Shaned]

the ticket prices are WAYYYY TOO MUCH
but yeah i wish i heard about the giants stadium date before it was too late!

[LedZepKicksAzz]

bahhh come to philadelphia.

[AdamOnDrums]

Went to see them in Cph, best show i've ever seen!! though I was really disapointed in the Answer, the sound was awful and the show was borring.. But fortunely, AC/DC makes up for it (:

[Mrtomtwo]

The Manchester gig at the MEN was fantastic, the answer did a great opening and AC/DC were the dogs bollocks as I expected :P. Parents also went to the Wembley gig but said that The Answer were good but it was light so the atmosphere wasn't the same and the other support act were booed off-stage. DC also had a load of sound problems, with parts of songs not being processed in sync. apparently it was good but not as good as at the MEN

[98Timberwolf]

Crap not coming to Pittsburgh?

[Imperial]

Nice, they're coming to Los Angeles. it'll probably be pricey though. eh oh well.

[syke5]

saw them in december add some more arizona dates!

[philipfilip]

saw them about 5 weeks ago..amazing

[perilouspete]

no dates in wisconsin or minnesota but two in michigan...i don't get it.

Nah,saw them at Punchestown there and for a man of his age Brian's voice holds up great. Likewise Angus,while not running about as much as he used to is still highly entertaining and if his entrance into the crowd is anything like it was at the gig I went to, you're in for a treat

[Skirvy]

"Black Ice" also became Columbia Records' biggest debut album

what!!!!!:S

[Christian Davis]

I loved The Answer when I saw them. Love ACDC more though. Now I'm going to go buy Everday Demons cause I didn't know it was out.

[Jayjayobrien]

seen them last friday, excellent haha, it was awesome in Wembley, you Americans are in for a treat

They were better last tour than this tour. Angus is a bit sharper on this tour though. The shitty setlist and Brian's boots negate this, however.

[Diamond Dave]

I've got tickets to see them in Adelaide next year on the home tour, shit yeah

[bassmanjoe08]

Magnetic Hill with Anvil and The Answer... stoked!

[kerno1]

well i was at the wembley gig (and O2), must say i experienced none of these sound problems you mention, subways weren't exactly booed off stage either, managed to do their set! first time i've listened to the answer and their sound was rubbish, but wasnt impressed by them overall, AC/DC were on top form though!

[jax113]

and still rocking the world after all this years

[rockerjesus]

woot got my tickets for 2010 See you in sydney AC/DC

The sound at Wembley isn't great at all. I agree with Mrtomtwo. The Answer are great live, but the sound at Wembley did them no justice. There was tons of reverb around the stadium. I went to the NEC gig and I preferred that gig (sound wise) much more. The atmosphere at Wembley blew me away though.
A lot of my friends have also said the sound at Wembley wasn't too great as well.

checked

Not true. Saw both Toronto shows this tour, and Brian sounds as good as ever, Angus has slowed down a bit, but is by no means in "rough shape".

Roll on Foxboro! 2nd row!

[smittyanthrax]

amazing time in glasgow last week.wow seems like yesterday.i felt the sound was a bit off.angus was too loud and brian was hard to hear at times.

[Sigil One]

aughhhh!! WHY DOES NO ONE COME TO HAWAII????!!!!
