AC/DC’s Electrifying Presence in Brazil: A September 2024 Spectacle
AC/DC’s Brazilian Tour: September 2024 Revelations
In an exclusive report by Lauro Jardim, a prominent journalist from O Globo, Brazil’s leading daily newspaper, it has been disclosed that the legendary Australian hard rock band AC/DC is gearing up for a spectacular tour in Brazil, encompassing four concerts scheduled for September 2024.
Tour Highlights: São Paulo and Rock In Rio Festival
The hard-hitting performances are set to take place with two shows at Morumbi in São Paulo and an additional two at the highly anticipated Rock In Rio festival in Rio De Janeiro. While the official tour dates for 2024 are yet to be announced by AC/DC, speculations are rife about the band considering numerous live performances worldwide.
Unintentional Revelations: Munich Mayor’s Slip
In an unexpected revelation last November, Dieter Reiter, the mayor of Munich, Germany, accidentally disclosed to a reporter that AC/DC is slated to rock the stage at the city’s Olympic Stadium on June 12, 2024.
Cliff Williams’ Retirement Dilemma
Recent reports have raised questions about the participation of AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams in the highly anticipated 2024 tour. Initially reported by rock and roll comedian Dean Delray, a devoted AC/DC fan, the news suggests Williams may be considering opting out of the group’s tour.
Cliff Williams, who announced his retirement at the end of AC/DC’s 2015-2016 “Rock Or Bust” tour, expressed his desire to contribute to the recording sessions of the band’s 2020 album, Power Up, as a homage to Angus’s late brother, Malcolm Young.
Phil Rudd’s Uncertain Status and Legal Troubles
Adding to the intrigue, the status of drummer Phil Rudd’s participation in AC/DC’s 2024 tour remains uncertain. Rudd, who was temporarily replaced by drummer Matt Laug for a festival appearance, faced legal troubles in 2015, pleading guilty to threatening to kill a former employee and drug possession.
Despite Rudd’s return for the recording of Power Up, past legal issues may contribute to the uncertainty surrounding his involvement in the upcoming tour. The legal battle in 2015, where Rudd’s team argued against the sentence’s impact on his music career, remains a notable chapter in the drummer’s history with the band.
