Thunderstruck! Angus Young returns to centrestage as AC/DC make their way through Europe on their Rock Or Bust tour
They first took the stage together as a band more than three decades ago.
And on Friday, Australian rock band AC/DC showed they still have what it takes to sell out stadiums across the globe.
Performing at the Olimpico Stadium in Barcelona in Spain as part of their Rock or Bust Tour, the band pulled out their signature moves as they rocked out to their hits, Back In Black, Thunderstruck and You Shook Me All Night Long.
Showing no sign of slowing down, the bands co-founder and slide guitarist, Angus Young, 60, sported a red velvet jacket and matching thigh-high shorts as he moved back and forth along the stage’s front.
To finish off his iconic school boy look, Angus wore a white button-up shirt with a black and red stripped tie and a navy blue baseball cap with the letter ‘A’ embodied in red on the front.
Also owning the stage was lead vocalist, Brian Johnson.
The 67 year-old went for a simpler look, wearing a tight black polo and matching skinny jeans.
But the singer, who joined the band back in 1980, added a touch of 1950’s to his look with a grey newspaper boy’s hat.
The bandmates will now head to Madrid, Spain before jetting off to North America for shows in August through to September.
AC/DC will arrive Down Under in November for their first tour of Australia since 2010.
But it hasn’t been all rock ‘n’ roll with no play for the music legends as they enjoy the European spring.
Switching his signature hat for a white cowboy hat, Angus took side-court at the French Open Tennis Tournament in Paris on Wednesday to cheer on Roger Federer of Switzerland and Marcel Granollers of Spain.
Dressed in a navy shirt, open at the collars, and faded jeans, the diminutive five foot two rocker appeared engrossed in the match as he sat beside his wife Ellen in the stands.
AC/DC formed in 1973, has seen a few shake-ups of late with Chris Slade taking the place of shamed drummer Phil Rudd.
The former rock star continues to fight his legal woes after he was charged with drug possession and threatening to kill.
But while he awaits sentencing, he has launched a heart-felt plea with his former bandmates to take him back for the anniversary world tour.
Opening up about his legal woes, Rudd, 60, told A Current Affair recently: ‘I wrote them a letter but I’ve had no contact from anybody,’ adding he was ‘disappointed’ not to be touring with them now.
However, rejoining appears to be a no-go as Angus released a statement last November saying Phil had changed and it was hard talking about him.
He said at the time: ‘Phil created his own situation. It’s a hard thing to say about the guy. He’s a great drummer, and he’s done a lot of stuff for us.’
‘But he seems to have let himself go. He’s not the Phil we’ve known from the past,’ he added.
Meanwhile, Malcolm Young will be replaced by his nephew Stevie, after he took retirement because
