Encyclopedia
Black Ice World Tour was a 2008/2009/2010 concert tour by Australian rock
band AC/DC
in support of the group's 15th studio album, Black Ice
, which was released in October 2008. The tour was the band's first since the Stiff Upper Lip World Tour
in 2000/2001.
The jaunt began in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
, United States
in late October 2008. By spring 2010, the tour had reached North America, Europe, South America, Oceania and Asia.
The tour ended up being the most successful by AC/DC, grossing roughly $441.1 million, making it the third highest-grossing concert tour of all-time.
.
In February 2009, the group began their first round of European shows, beginning in Oslo
and wrapping up in Birmingham
, U.K.
in April. One of two dates scheduled in Antwerp, Belgium
was cancelled after lead singer Brian Johnson
fell ill.. On 29 March, the concert in Zürich
, Switzerland
was postponed due to undisclosed "technical difficulties" and was rescheduled for 6 April.
In May 2009, the band commenced a second European leg, with all shows taking place in outdoor stadiums and venues. The jaunt began in Leipzig
, Germany
and ended the following month in Glasgow
, U.K.
In July 2009, the band started a third leg of North America, playing a mixture of outdoor and indoor venues. The tour reached many Canadian
markets that had been missed on the previous two legs. A fourth leg, which included dates in Mexico
and Puerto Rico
, followed in October and November. The initial six dates on the leg were postponed after Johnson underwent a medical procedure which subsequently required rest. Five of these shows were ultimately rescheduled for spring 2010; one date to be held in Phoenix, Arizona
was cancelled due to a "scheduling conflict".
In November and December 2009, the band headed to South America, playing shows in Brazil
and Argentina
. The concerts in Buenos Aires
were filmed for the DVD Live at River Plate
, to be released on 10 May 2011. Footage from the recordings were also used in the music video for "Shoot to Thrill
", which is featured on the Iron Man 2 soundtrack, along with another video with footage and audio from the Buenos Aires shows of "Highway to Hell
" which is also featured in the Iron Man 2 soundtrack. Earlier in November, it was falsely reported that a group of fans had issued a complaint to the band, criticising the setlist, when in turn it was merely a request for a mix up of the current touring setlist.
In January 2010, the group began a round of dates in New Zealand
, subsequently reaching their native Australia
in February. The Australian shows were the fastest selling concerts in the history of the country, with extra dates added in most markets due to demand. In early February, Johnson responded to the internet fans who had asked for a setlist change, saying "Fuck them", and that the stage show was too complicated for them to change songs easily. Following the Australian tour, which ended in Perth, Western Australia
, the group played three shows in Japan
.
In April 2010, the band returned to the U.S. to play the five shows which were rescheduled from October 2009. Later in the month, Iron Man 2
—the soundtrack to the film of the same name
—was released. The soundtrack compiled a host of the group's hits and lesser-known songs from early to recent years, and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200
album chart.
In May 2010, the band commenced a third leg of Europe, which included an appearance at the Download Festival
in the U.K.. At a concert held in Oslo in late May, the group were forced to cut their setlist short due to the local curfew after an aircraft malfunction caused a delay to the band's arrival. For the third known time since its inclusion in 1981, "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)
" was omitted from the group's setlist. The tour wrapped up in Bilbao
, Spain
at Estadio San Mamés in late June.
The tour won the "Major Tour of the Year" award at the 2009 Pollstar Concert Industry Awards. The tour was also nominated in the "Top Tour" and "Top Draw" categories at the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards
. According to Billboard
, the tour "has clearly tapped into a demand for AC/DC, resulting from the band's eight-year absence from touring, and takes its place as one of the band's most successful tours."
By the tour's culmination, the group had played over 160 shows to approximately 4.9 million people. The tour was one of the highest grossing concert tours in history, grossing $441.6 million, third behind The Rolling Stones
' A Bigger Bang Tour
, which grossed $558.3 million in the mid-2000s, and U2
's 360° Tour
