AC/DC Says Lars

[Badlands]

You can buy booze at Hampden.

It's an awful token system and the queue can (and will, at AC/DC) get quite lengthy - but if you want pints...you got it.

I'd suggest sneaking something in - I've done it for most gigs I've seen there.

Thanks chief.

no dates, venues, ticket details, or continents - but they are touring!?

Anti climax

[hurdy]

What a funny japester he still is

[brettredmayne]

He either has told a complete lie or the dates have been held back

Re-arranging the entire tour to accomodate a Saturday night at the farm.

looks like there will be no announcements of tour dates this year.

[Badlands]

Rubbish. Was planning on booking digs today!!

[zero000]

"This is an announcement, of an announcement".

Makes me hate Chris Evans more than I do currently.

[CaledonianGonzo]

On the plus side, it means they've not just announced that they're in Bucharest that weekend.

Presumption or you know for sure?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wouldn't make any sense to leave it much closer to Xmas, surely...

[dentalplan]

Nor would it to leave it further away from the album release. I reckon it'll be be today still because of the date they arranged (poss. rearranged) the interview to air, Tuesday at the latest.

Out of interest, how many dates is it again that Wembley is allowed to do in a summer? I just read on a Gigwise slideshow that Rihanna has two shows 'pencilled in'.

It did seem rather odd this morning - an announcement about something we all knew was happening but just not the details............................

All I want for Christmas are the details!

[hurdy]

Having stopped seething, on reflection, it would point to him being told he can no longer make the announcement.

Even he isn't this spectacularly unfunny.

I would say you are wrong.

It was a pre recorded interview and as far as I know the BBC knows nothing more that what was broadcast......

At least we know there is a tour and it will last for 20 months!

[ghostdancer1]

what exactly were people expecting Evans to announce?

surely a world tour won't be left to some english breakfast radio host to announce.

the AC/DC website will be announcing the tour first. radio stations in certain countries might get the tour dates in that country but will be embargoed until after the full tour is announced officially by the band.

[hurdy]

Interview was prerecorded, but it was possible that he was going to be given the tour dates to announce after surely.

It could have gone live on their website at the same time, and similar 'humorous' disc jockeys could have been given the same news to announce in different countries.

The alternative is that it was a really really shit joke. And surely even he's not that unfunny?

I think you are trying to read too much into it.

[michael eavis' beard]

I think you are trying to read too much into it.

Reading too much into it?! Is that even possible when it comes to potential Glastonbury headliners?!

[ivan]

Perhaps they do not feel ready to commit to a tour at the moment.

They need a drummer for a start , then to rehearse and prepare - maybe next summer is just coming up too fast ?

Pretty sure they have a drummer and have been rehearsing loads since they finished the album in May

[The Nal]

Phil Rudd is still the drummer in the band. But they've a standby ready to roll.

Which is whats going to happen by the looks of it. Phil is batshit crazy.
