The announcement comes after AC/DC teased their return to touring earlier this month, when they asked fans online whether they were “ready”.
Speculation about a potential European tour had already begun to build after a German mayor accidentally revealed plans for a Munich show.
The band made their comeback at the huge Power Trip festival in Indio, California back in October – their first live show in seven years.
In a four-star review of latest album ‘Power Up’, NME wrote that the “Australian rock icons stick to their guns” on a “rollicking 17th album”, adding: “After 50 years in the game, the band don’t reinvent the wheel – when they basically created it, why would they? – but their timely comeback is a hell of a ride.”
