AC/DC are opening dive bars in five European cities this summer

AC/DC are to celebrate their return to the road this summer by opening dive bars in five of the cities they'll be visiting.

Last year the band opened a bar on Bliss Ave in Indio, CA, 10 minutes from the site of the Power Trip festival, where the band played their first live show since the climax of the Rock Or Bust tour in 2016. The bar featured a deer head wearing the band's signature illuminated devil horns, and fans were able to pick up temporary band tattoos for free.

This year they'll set up similar operations in the European cities of Gelsenkirchen, Seville, Munich, London and Paris, where fans will be able to check out AC/DC props and buy merchandise and vinyl. The dates and details are as follows.

• May 16 - May 22: Kaue, Wilhelminenstrasse 176, Gelsenkirchen, Germany

• May 28 - June 2: ESpacio Exploraterra, Paseo Alcalde Marqués De Contadero, Edificio 1 Sevilla, Spain

• June 9 - June 13: Backstage Arena, Reitknechtstrasse 6, München, Germany

• July 2 - July 8: The Vanguard, First Floor Horse Hospital Unit 641 & 642 Stables Market, Camden, London

• Paris, France: Details not yet confirmed

AC/DC's Power Up shows will celebrate the band's return to the road after an eight-year break, and also mark the return to full-time action of frontman Brian Johnson, who was forced to abandon AC/DC's Rock Or Bust trek after developing hearing problems. Full dates below.
