AC/DC reschedule a couple ‘Black Ice’ postponements

Shows in Las Vegas and Des Moines, IA–both originally scheduled for October–will now take place April 9 and April 17, respectively. Details are below.

All previously purchased tickets for the canceled shows will be honored at the rescheduled dates.

Four more postponed concerts (Phoenix, AZ; Louisville, KY; Kansas City, MO; and Milwaukee, WI) will be rescheduled, though the band has not yet issued make-up dates.

The rock legends returned to the stage in mid-October following the six postponements, which occurred due to an undisclosed medical procedure involving lead vocalist Brian Johnson.

“My insides were giving me lots of trouble, ulcers and such,” Johnson stated in a message posted at the band’s website in September. “The doctors looked me over … In the end they gave me a clean bill of health, but insisted I take a bit of time to recuperate and rest up.”

“Black Ice,” AC/DC’s first new studio set in nearly a decade, surfaced last October. The album, which was sold exclusively via Walmart, Sam’s Club and the band’s website, debuted at No. 1 in 29 countries, including the US.

AC/DC began the “Black Ice World Tour”–the group’s first live shows in five years–last October.

According to the group’s website, the Black Ice tour will hit Latin America following the forthcoming US dates, and then visit Australia and New Zealand “by early 2010.”
