Australian hard-rockers AC/DC will release their latest studio effort, Black Ice, on October 20. The album – their first in over eight years – will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and through the band’s website. The Aussie-rockers have also announced the North American leg of their Rock ‘N Roll Train tour – their first world tour since ’01. The ferocious live act will kick off the 21-date tour on October 28, with a notable two-night stand at NYC’s Madison Square Garden.
If some balls out arena rock isn’t for you, than maybe one of these recently announced tour will be…
- Looking for your moe. fix while they’re on hiatus? Then check out Al & The Transamericans (begins: 10/31)
- STP front man Scott Weiland heads out on his own for a three week solo trek (begins: 11/11)
- Former BtN artist Nada Surf line up a month long late fall tour (begins: 11/9)
- Psychedelic, freak-folk act Brightblack Morning Light hit the road (begins: 10/01)
- Punk pioneers The Misfits embark on a lengthy U.S. tour (begins: 10/08)
- The Duo will team up with Surprise Me Mr. Davis for a late-night NYE show at B.B. King’s
- Roots-rocker Alejandro Escovedo keeps extremely busy through late November (begins: 09/12)
Finally, DIY indie-rockers Clap Your Hands Say Yeah have lined up a brief Tuesday night mid-Atlantic tour which kicks off on September 16. Alex Ounsworth & Co. will hit the stage for seven consecutive Tuesdays at extremely intimate venues in Philly, D.C., Baltimore and Pittsburgh – where the band will presumably be road testing some much-needed new material for their fans.

Way to solidify the bad boy image AC/DC by selling your album exclusively at Wal-Mart, etc. Laughable. Haha.
Agreed. The Eagles did the same thing with their last album. I guess the plus side is it will be cheaper than getting it at other music stores – but there is definitely a big downside to that too.
