AC/DC are to celebrate their return to the road this summer by opening dive bars in five of the cities they'll be visiting.
Last year the band opened a bar on Bliss Ave in Indio, CA, 10 minutes from the site of the Power Trip festival, where the band played their first live show since the climax of the Rock Or Bust tour in 2016. The bar featured a deer head wearing the band's signature illuminated devil horns, and fans were able to pick up temporary band tattoos for free.
This year they'll set up similar operations in the European cities of Gelsenkirchen, Seville, Munich, London and Paris, where fans will be able to check out AC/DC props and buy merchandise and vinyl. The dates and details are as follows.
- May 16 - May 22: Kaue, Wilhelminenstrasse 176, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
- May 28 - June 2: ESpacio Exploraterra, Paseo Alcalde Marqués De Contadero, Edificio 1 Sevilla, Spain
