According to The Daily Record, AC/DC is rumored to have pencilled in a date at Glasgow, Scotland's SECC in January which could be followed by a world tour.
The rumors follow an announcement that their new album could be in the shops by August.
AC/DC recently announced a controversial decision to sell its upcoming album exclusively through Wal-Mart stores. The yet-to-be-titled disc will be the first from AC/DC since 2000's "Stiff Upper Lip".
Opinions regarding
AC/DC's deal with Wal-Mart seem to be divided right down the middle, according to a round-up in news magazine The Week. Chicago Tribune blogger
Mark Caro wrote, "
The classic headbangers'new album won't be available at any sort of rock music store, but you can pick it up along with a box of Huggies?" He added that he wondered if the band "
has sold its twisted soul."
A more positive view came from PrefixMag.com, whose Andrew Winistorfer wrote that the group's deal showed "forward thinking." He added that a Wal-Mart exclusive worked out well for The Eagles, who have sold "nearly three million copies since last summer."
But industry commentator Bob Lefsetz said the deal indicated that AC/DC has abandoned younger fans, explaining that while the group is "the biggest band still alive in the minds of teenagers...the closest Wal-Mart to me is almost 20 miles away!"
