EUROPEAN TOUR 2010 PLANNING

Still no official confirmation from acdc.com. But at this point we believe it is just a question of hours... Here's the screenshot of one of the pages that were reportedly published on AC/DC.com for a few minutes yesterday and then saved on the Google cache.



In the last 24 hours the President of AC/DC Abruzzo has been working in the new AC/DC Abruzzo office in Sydney to plan the AC/DC Abruzzo European tour. Yesterday there was a frantic exchange of emails among Orangus in Milan, the Vice President in Abruzzo and the President to create the roadmap for the final leg of Black Ice World Tour and to cohordinate the purchase of tickets. The Secretary General, on the contrary, could be reached only via sms. Apparently he's still working full time on project Australia.

PRESALE

Here you will find all the details about the dates officially confirmed.

Although this preale will be much easier than the one that took place last year for the arena indoor tour we don't want to leave anything to chance. The Udine show will go on presale today at 6pm Italian time here:

Unanimity was reached on the fact that the Italian show is our number 1 priority. The Italian crowd proved to be the best of the entire European tour last year at the Forum of Milan so we all agreed that the Udine show will be memorable and cannot be missed.

Yesterday there were also contacts with the KOSP who strongly recommended to attend the following shows if they are confirmed.

27-May-2010 - Warsaw, Poland - Bermov Airfield - TBD
30-May-2010 - Tallinn, Estonia - Song Festival Ground - TBD
1-Jun-2010 - Tampere, Finland - Ratina Stadium - TBD
3-Jun-2010 - Stockholm, Sweden - Olympic Stadium - TBD
5-Jun-2010 - Horsens, Denmark - Horsens Stadium - TBD

According to the KOSP, in these areas there is great potential for recruiting new AC/DC Abruzzo groupies... :) AC/DC Abruzzo will listen to his mentor and give priority to Poland, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Yesterday there were also other rumours about the band playing the entire Back in Black album live in Europe in 2010. Now, we believe in dreams but, considering our experience with the band, this will not happen. It would be nice to be proved wrong though.

It's hard work to be a hard core AC/DC fan... :)

MORE DATES!!!! EASTERN/NORTHERN EUROPE AND BALTIC COUNTRIES!! DONINGTON!!!!

AlexMadrid from Spain, one of our most faithful users, let us know that apparently acdc.com temporarily displayed some extra dates (see below). The page was saved HERE. Obviously we cannot confirm these dates at the moment but we've decided to publish them anyway. They are definetely plausible. The most important thing is that this epic world tour will go on and on for the delight of all the AC/DC fans around the world!!!

AC/DC BACK IN ITALY MAY 19, 2010!!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!

The President just got an email from Orangus back in Milan confirming the rumour about the come back of AC/DC to ITALIA!!! Although the news has not been officially confirmed yet by the band, www.rockol.it, an authoritative Italian music website, stated that AC/DC will be playing Italy on May 19, 2010 at the Stadio Friuli in Udine (approx. capacity 50,000 people). Obviously, if this rumour proves wrong AC/DC Abruzzo will have to kick some ass... But to be honest we also received a call from sources very close to people close to the band confirming the comeback to Italy next year. So we can continue to implement our nonviolence policy... ahahah

For the record Nice, June 15 and Paris Stade De France June 18 were also confirmed!!

UPDATE from AC/DC Abruzzo

"I'll tell you folks... it's harder than it looks"

Busy days of hard work for AC/DC Abruzzo staff...
After the gigantic dose of Rock'n'Roll in Argentina the Vice President has finally come back to the Abruzzo headquarters for some deserved rest. (But apparently he is already planning the next international trip... New Zealand?)
The President is still in Sydney, Australia experiencing the OZ summer lifestyle and working out the final details of the Australian tour (including the collaboration with the Kosp).
The Secretary General secretely met with Orangus/Belfagor before the premiere of Carmen, a few days ago, at La Scala Opera Theatre of Milan, to discuss some private business including the Japan minitour in March.
Project AC/DC Abruzzo goes on!

Tonight we received a surprise phone call from Marcom and Andrea during the guitar intro of Highway to Hell live in Buenos Aires... It was really a pleasant surprise... Here's what they told us over the phone after the show:

Marcom: Chettaffatto! No extra cameras tonight. Don't ask me why but the DVD will be just the footage of the second night... I guess it will be enough anyway... Maybe they wìll add some audio from the other shows... We don't know... (The DVD probably won't be released before June). Anyway amazing performance of Brian tonight. He was on fire. Old school kick-ass performance of Angus. He was so happy about the response of the crowd during the LTBR solo that he took a bow in the middle of it to thank the audience. Incredible! The solo went on for some extra minutes. Possibly the longest LTBR solo of the entire tour... The audience was crazy as usual. One funny thing about Argentinian crowd is that you get to see people jumping wildly not only in the pitch but even on the second level on seats on the side in the Stadium... This time we decided to see most of the show in front of the catwalk, just in the middle. The sound there was so good that it was pure for our ears... Amazing!
One funny story for our readers. On Wednesday we were doing some grocery shopping in a local supermarket called DISCO in the centre of the city and we bumped into Ellen buying snacks ect. That was really funny! AC/DC Abruzzo and AC/DC Italia doing grocery shopping with Angus' wife in Argentina!!! AHAHAHAH. We also met Ross who was really cool with all his Facebook fans. We really loved his Ferrari jacket... Pretty nice! The band was pretty busy signing autographs with hundreds of fans. Always very cool... Another funny thing was the non authorised sellers of t-shirts outside the stadium. They mixed it up pretty well. Like you could see T-shirts with creative artwork such as Bon Scott on Razor's Edge album cover or souvenir t-shirts of the Argentinian tour with 4 dates instead of 3... AHAHAH

Andrea: Yesterday we went to the Boca Junior soccer match. Bellissimo! And today we had again 400g Argentinian steaks before the show... We love Argentina!

From the Vice President in Buenos Aires (December 5 - 10 am Argentinian Time)

NGULA! (this means F***ing Hell in Abruzzese!) So we were in the pitch tonight. Marco, Alessandra and me... After 3 songs we basically lost Marco (during Shoot to Thrill he twisted his ankle but apparently he kept jumping till the end anyway). During Dirty Deeds we were so pressed we couldn't even move or raise our arms! AHAHAH From the beginning to the end of the show we were going left and right, backward and forward, up and down. It was like going on the roller coster with AC/DC playng a few metres from you....AHAHAHAH... We had a hell of a time! But listen to this: During Whole lotta Rosie a circle of a 10 metre of diameter suddenly opened and we ended up just in the middle. In the eye of the vortex... Then the pimball effect started! Pazzesco! It was a lot of fun!! The weirdest thing to understand for those who were not there it was that we never felt it was violent, like it happened to us in England or somewhere else during the tour. And nobody was drunk! Umbelievable! People were just jumping and singing and hugging each other. Like Spain but way more energetic! Everyone was having the time of their life. Big gracias to the Argentinians for this...!

They recorded the whole show with extra cameras everywhere! During our going back and forth we saw the camera on that trolley going left and right in the middle of the audience. What do you call it? No, it's not a steadycam. Anyway you got the idea... We stopped by to say CIAO! AHAHAHAH The performance of the band was much better tonight than on the other night. They were warming up for the first take... Marco says the crowd was less wild... I don't agree. At least that's the impression I got.... Ah... We also had some juicy Angus Argentinian T-bone steaks... before the show obviously... Delicious... Pics and videos soon! ;-)

2nd Argentinian stop of the RnR Train is approaching....

Marcom and Andrea at the Monumental stadium

We forgot to tell you that at the first show there were even fireworks INthe audience (like flares supporters use to celebrate during soccer matches). The last time we saw that was in 2001 during Highway to Hell at the SDF in Paris... (Or maybe was Stadio Delle Alpi in Turin...)

Anyway while the second Buenos Aires concert is approaching we publish the comments full of excitement of another friend from Spain who is also in Argentina at the moment for these 3 memorable nights of rock'n'roll!

tomorrow and sunday, I'll be in the pitch hehe, the
japanese guy from the forum was in the pitt second row
and it was so violent that he had to go back ( extreme
pushing like the crowds in paris or london, it's like a
crowd that is more vocal than bilbao, extreme pushing
like paris, and everyone jumping from the front to the
back)I'm kind of scared and excited at the same time, I
know those argentineans are wild, but I think dying
during an ac/dc concert is one of the best way to die
:)

hahaha I'm so pumped up
