An event for an April 11, 2025 concert at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis was posted on Facebook today, then removed.

This is a little exciting on the surface, but then I start scratching…

1. It’s really just ‘Young/Johnson’.
2. They’re both old as dirt and look every minute of it.
3. Stadiums are worst possible venues.
4. Summer is the worst possible time for an outside show.
5. Oh and any decent seat will be $500+.

Hard pass. You can’t go back.

I'll give you the other four, but this one stumped me. You'd rather see an outside show in the dead of winter?

AC/DC with Alanis Morissette's rhythm section? :lol:

Yeah those guys can play, but man..... it's over.

Find a good AC/DC tribute band and go catch em for $20 or whatever.

Spring and Fall. Summer heat is miserable… at least in the lower half of the country… with humidity it’s literally a physical endurance challenge. Brutal. And in the south, powerful thunderstorms are possible every single evening. Awful experience. Especially for the cost.

Now I’m lost. I’ve never seen weather forecasts calling for 50/50 chance of rain every night during the summer.

I'm more along these lines. I'm a HUGE AC/DC fan (more Bon era) but I seen them in the heyday and spending $1000+ to see them in a ginormo-dome with one OG member sounds shitty (sounds like Rudd may not show up??)

Seeing Flotsam And Jetsam at some club somewhere sounds a zillion times better

Last summer in CT, that's exactly what it was.

It’s a southern thing. They’re very spotty and isolated, but always in the area and usually very strong.

Pretty much my thoughts. You're seeing a couple guys that were in AC/DC and a couple guys that have been in the band 5 minutes.

I'm done paying outrageous amounts for these types of shows. Hard pass for me too.

I'd be interested if they didn't have a complete nobody on drums and a guy that was in Jane's Addiction during their uninteresting years on bass.

If they had some well known players it would be a different story. Maybe bring back Slade on the drums and get a well known rock player on bass.

I don't want to see Brain, Angus and Stevie with two career session players.

Axl Rose will save AC/DC

I hope the Axl rumor is true. I thought GNR was going to reconvenine in 2025

Slade is ancient. People already bitched about his timing, they probably didn't want a drummer that was older than Brian.

What's this rumor about Axl? He going to co-sing the American dates with Brian?!?

They can always take Airbourne as an opener to give people a decent Bon Scott era tribute

He's usually a few days late, but you know it's definitely coming.

AXL/DC was the best version of the band in decades.

That Axl however, does no longer exist. We should just cherish the memories of that glitch in the Matrix.

Marc Storace would be cool, as well. Neither of those guys are selling any tix, though. Angus is 70 in March & looks, & probably feels, every day of it. Also, Brian Johnson is 77. This has to be it for him, anyways.

What would really make sense to me, is if they're going to split the material, and have Axl sing the Bon Scott stuff, and then Brian do his. They somewhat leaned towards this when Axl stepped in before, because they played Bon material with him that Brian wouldn't normally sing.

Brian did just fine on the latest tour. Why bother bringing in anyone else?
