According to a new report from RollingStone.com, Australian legends AC/DC have selected an Australian town literally called The Rock to launch their new album Rock Or Bust, despite a population of just over 3,000.
Although the band members themselves won’t be in attendance, the 11-track record will play out in its entirety at a venue in the town on November 23rd, nine days before its official December 2nd release.
“It’s fantastic for the town,” Lockhart Shire Council’s Tourism and Economic Development officer, Jennifer Connor, told the regional Eastern Riverina Chronicle. “The AC/DC Rock or Bust markets will be a one-off event that will put the Rock on the international map for an impressive worldwide fan base but more than that it offers our locals an amazing day out.”
Rock Or Bust is the band’s first studio album in six years and features 11 new tracks. Rock Or Bust follows the immensely successful Black Ice album, which debuted at #1 in 31 countries upon its release in 2008 and has gone on to sell nearly 8 million copies worldwide. Rock Or Bust was recorded in spring 2014 at Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, BC and finds AC/DC once again working with producer Brendan O’Brien and mixer Mike Fraser.
