ANAHEIM, California (Billboard) - AC/DC will embark on an 18-month world tour in October, the hard rock band's first since 2000/2001, their agent said Monday.

Rob Light, managing partner at Creative Artists Agency, made the announcement during a panel at the Intl. Assn. of Assembly Managers' conference and trade show.

Light didn't reveal further details about the trek, which will promote the Anglo-Australian band's upcoming album, a Wal-Mart exclusive. A single is expected to hit radio in August. AC/DC released its last album, "Stiff Upper Lip," in 2000, and launched a yearlong tour of 17 countries.

If they come anywhere in NC, I'm definitely there. I'd like to check them off my list of bands I want to see before they hang it up.

Angus is ancient. I can't imagine he could still put on much of a stage show.

Angus Young is actually only 53 years old (the same age as Eddie Van Halen). Of course, he's a very old 53, but I'm sure he can still play.

SLY - Sometimes your idiocy amazes me!! We are ALL getting older. Let's see: Rolling Stones - Still touring well, Van Halen - Excellent, POlice - Amazing, Aerosmith - Good show. How can you think he would not put on a great show? I mean it is not like he has a whole lot of chords he goes through during a song anyways. In the words of the great Bill Murray "Lighten Up Frances!"

Dates, I need tour dates!! They HAVE to come to JPJ. I am Soo there!!!
