AC/DC is looking for 150 fans to appear in the video shoot for the band's new single, "Rock 'n' Roll Train." The only catch is that you'll have to be in the U.K. to participate, since the shoot takes place in London on August 16th. Anyone who will be there, or who thinks they can make it in time, can fill out an entry form to try and win a spot in the clip at acdcrocks.com/ukcasting. "Rock 'n' Roll Train" is taken from the band's upcoming album, Black Ice, its first new collection of material since 2000's Stiff Upper Lip.
Black Ice will arrive on October 21st and be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart, whose stores will also host their own special AC/DC display areas.
The legendary rockers are slated to begin an 18-month world tour in October, with the trek reportedly kicking off on Halloween in Chicago.
The 1977 AC/DC song "Let There Be Rock" will be featured in the new Rock Band 2 video game, due out in September. This will mark the band's first and so far only contribution to a video game soundtrack.

Word on the street is they will be out for 18 months....you should be able to catch a show or two!!
This is one I can say I truly want to see. I remember the feeling when they came on stage in the 80's like it was yesterday. A friend of mine got pulled onstage and Brian Johnson put him on his shoulders and carried him around the stage! Wild! Angus is just an incredible showman and the guitars roar while the drums thunder. I only hope they keep it loud like the old days. For those about to rock......

Can Brian Johnson still sing? Last time I heard him, he sounded like he had been gargling with ground-up glass fragments. Thunderstruck comes to mind.
I love their music, but I get a sore throat just listening to the guy.
