Thanks, they've been added. Any word on the venue for the Auckland show yet?

Thanks Nate. No word on Auckland yet. The promoters have yet to announce the venue, and have yet to announce when ticket sales will commence for both NZ concerts. Not sure the reason for the delay. Perhaps they were waiting to see how fast tickets sold in Australia, before booking an appropriately sized venue in Auckland. From what I know about Auckland, I guess there are 2 possible venues. Probably the biggest is Western Springs Speedway. It held loads of concerts in the 1970's and 1980's, when the big artists toured, including crowds of over 80,000 for both David Bowie and ZZ Top - which were the biggest in the sothern hemisphere apparently at that time. But not sure if Western Springs is still allowed to hold concerts. Perhaps a NZ member can advise. The other option is probably Mt Smart Stadium, which according to wikipedia was used by the band in 1991, and can hold 47,000 for concerts. Meanwhile in Adelaide, there is a strong rumour that started circulating yesterday that the V8 motor race held here every March - called the Clipsal 500 - will be moved forward 2 weeks to allow AC/DC to play (headline) at the after race concert. Would be great to see them twice in 3 days at 2 different venues (in the same city) if this eventuates.
