Brad and John - Mornings on KISM
ACDC vancouver
Well, we start the week with one of the big groups out there and played in a long time and done a tour in a long time announcing that it's going to happen. Brad and John, KISM, who is it and when is it? Well, there'd been lots of whispers over the last couple weeks that ACDC was going to do a U.S. tour after doing, you know, 30 odd shows in Europe and stuff. And now it's dropping. It's happened and they are going to tour 13 cities through the United States in Canada. That's all they got right now starting April 10th in Minnesota in Minneapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium. And the fourth show of the tour that they have so far is April 22nd at Vancouver's BC Place and the tickets go on sale on Friday. So they're going to get that Christmas money coming in. No Seattle date, but there are four days between the Rose Bowl and Pasadena on the 18th of April and Las Vegas on the 26th of April and they wedge that Vancouver thing in there on the 22nd. So four days between each show, they could squeeze in a Seattle date. Maybe it looks like it's in April. It's just April and May and they're playing all parts of the country in those two months. You would think they could shoehorn maybe one date in. Classic rockers now do not, they don't do back to back. And most of them take one to two nights off. Maybe they would put one in, but I wonder if this is it. Because if you look at that tour, it's all over the country. It starts that they hit Minneapolis, as you said, to start. They're doing the West Coast sort of with Pasadena, Vancouver and Las Vegas, then they're going to Michigan and then they're, you know, they're in the East and in the DC area and Pittsburgh and, you know, kind of Cleveland. They're in the Midwestern Chicago. It's kind of like they got all the regions sort of covered. You wonder if that's it. If it's just April and May and that's all she wrote. They're playing football stadiums. Yeah. Make a lot of money in those, in those venues and then call it a day. Bring people from the surrounding towns into, you know, the bigger ones and stuff like that. But Vancouver, April 22nd. And there was some talk I read over the weekend that Axel Rose, who did finish off the last time that AC DC toured the United States. He stepped in for Brian Johnson because of the hearing thing and they're rumored to have him back on select dates. I don't know, just to, you know, sing back up or run around. I don't know nothing about an opening act yet. They just say the tickets go on sale on Friday and you know, we're going to work hard to get some. So BC Place is the closest that you'll have in Vancouver to see these guys and maybe they'll do, now it's taking a moment. Maybe they'll do a residency at the sphere, but they've got a date in at the football stadium in Las Vegas at a Legion field. So maybe not. So this, this could be it. It could be just April and May and that's it. You would think a Legion stadium would like secure some kind of like first ride or refusal that if you play here, you can't come back and play the sphere. You can't leak that you're going to play the sphere or something like that because people might opt to go for that one instead, you know. Yeah. So those will be highly sought tickets to see these guys because it is kind of just a sort of a regional tour. Kind of, it's, you know, it's, it's like a Rolling Stones tour. Yeah. It's, it's a, you know, a handful of dates. They try to hit every region of the country, but only one or two cities in each region at the most. And Brian Johnson just turned 77. So he's not far behind the stones football stadiums. Yeah, this, yeah, I don't think this, I don't think they're going to be too many. If there's any dates added to this, I don't think it could be too many given their age and kind of how they have spaced this thing out. So hey, good that they're, they're going, they're going to give it another run. Have you seen them before? I have not known. Oh, yeah. I have not seen one last time. You know, I'm sure Brian Johnson can still belt it out. And so I thought it was a little weird that they played all those shows in Europe and we didn't see a whole lot of like YouTube or things like, you know, where you hear, you know, get to hear what they sound like live. I couldn't find it anyway. I think their, their tickets are going to be it's got cost a lot of the secondary market. I think is going to really go crazy there. They're different than the stones. And I think they are more of a multi generational act than the rolling stones. You know, I think there are more younger people, younger kids, even into AC DC, than like the rolling stones. And so I think there's going to be this, this, this, this need from the older generation to get the younger generation out there to see them. And they're going to want to see them, the younger crowd. And so I think that's really going to drive up tickets for this thing. It's going to be super expensive to see these guys. And BC Place this weekend is the Taylor Swift. Oh, is it this week this coming weekend? Yes. All right. So we'll, we'll, we'll keep you posted and let you know if we get some tickets coming our way that we can, that we can hand out for AC DC April 22nd at BC Place in Vancouver. Hey, it's more Brad and John next.
AC/DC announced they will tour North America in 2025! 13 shows on the schedule so far. Right now, including Vancouver BC Aprill 22 with tickets on sale Friday Dec 6th!
