AC/DC to release new live album

AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson has let slip that the legendary rockers are likely to release another live album.

Johnson was on ‘The Chris Evans Breakfast Show’ on BBC2 in the UK late last week and casually mentioned that the band will “probably bring a live album out”.

They’ll have a lot of material to choose from after touring their Black Ice album for almost two years to over five million people.

Word is that it will not merely be a CD but a DVD of one of their shows in Beunos Aires in Argentina in December last year.

It has been less than a year since they released Backtracks, a triple-CD, double-DVD box set of rare tracks and compiled live versions.

They haven’t released a straight-up live album since the two included in the Bonfire box set of 1997.

Since Black Ice was a massive comeback for the band, selling multi-platinum around the world, we’ll cross our fingers for more tracks from that album and less classics on the forthcoming live set.
