Rock legends AC/DC have announced another leg of their Rock or Bust World Tour, with the newly-revealed dates set for North America in 2016.
The shows will kick off Feb. 2 in Tacoma, Washington, at the Tacoma Dome and run through Apr. 4 for a massive finale at New York City's Madison Square Garden. Tickets for all dates will be released Friday, Dec. 18. Further details are available on the band's official website.
The news comes on the heels of the last leg of their Rock or Bust World Tour, with the band performing at the 57th annual Grammy Awards and headlining at Coachella in between.
AC/DC have gone through some serious lineup changes within the past year or so. Phil Rudd was arrested in his New Zealand home in November of last year on a murder-for-hire charge, which was later dropped due to lack of evidence. Rudd, however, is still disputing charges, which include threatening to kill and possession of methamphetamine and cannabis. He has since stated that he is seeking help for his troubles.
Late last year, prior to the Rock or Bust World Tour, lead guitarist and founding member Angus Young commented on the former drummer's presence, or lack thereof (being that he was 10 days late for recording sessions).
"One minute he was coming, then he wasn't, then he was," he told Rolling Stone. "I've seen him in better shape. It was not the Phil we had known, after we had finished the last tour. He'd let himself go."
Angus' older brother, guitarist Malcolm Young, left the band in 2014. He suffers from dementia and is now housed in a full-time medical facility in Australia.
To get yourself prepped for the upcoming tour dates, listen to AC/DC's smash hit "Thunderstruck" from their 1990 album The Razors Edge.
