WASHINGTON — AC/DC will rock the Verizon Center Saturday, Sept. 17 as part of the band’s 10 final shows during its “Rock or Bust World Tour.”
The show originally had been set for March 17 but was postponed after doctors for frontman Brian Johnson told him to stop touring because he was at risk of total hearing loss if he continued to perform live.
Guns N Roses frontman Axl Rose has taken Johnson’s place as the band’s lead singer.
The rest of the band remains the same: Angus Young (lead guitar); Cliff Williams (bass guitar); Stevie Young (rhythm guitar); and Chris Slade (drums) .
“This band has got a ton of energy and you’re going to see a fusion of all that terrific chemistry that we have felt ever since rehearsals in Lisbon,” said Young, in a news release.
“I want to get back out there onstage in the U.S. with these guys so our audience can see and feel it too.”
All tickets for the postponed show will be valid for the new date. Those who can’t make that date can get a refund.
Rose recently made his long-awaited reunion with Guns N Roses during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival back in April:
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, LiveNation.com, at the Verizon Center box office or by phone at 800-745-3000.
