The bank kicked off their Black Ice World Tour in late October 2008, crisscrossing North America and Europe garnering raves from critics along the way. The New York Times said, “It was all, of course, glorious,” calling the show an, “astonishingly loud reaffirmation of AC/DC’s prime directive.” The Black Ice World Tour was given the ‘Major Tour of the Year’ award at the 20th Annual Pollstar Concert Industry Awards.
Released globally on October 20, 2008, Black Ice has been certified Double Platinum in the U.S. Black Ice is AC/DC’s first new album in over eight years and it has proven the band is still an incredible force in rock.
