Special Guests Announced For AC/DC Australian Tour

After much speculation, the identity of the bands appearing as special guests on the upcoming AC/DC tour has been revealed.

Five-piece Swedish rock'n'rollers The Hives and local rockers Kingswood are the lucky acts to be opening for hard rocking icons AC/DC as they make their way around their former homeland in November.

The Hives today released a statement welcoming the news of the addition to the bill: "When we were six years old in Fagersta, Sweden we were struck for the first time by the lightning that is rock'n'roll. That lightning was AC/DC. 

"Now many years later we find ourselves in a successful rock'n'roll band and going on tour with them. It couldn't be better if we made it up. Life rules."
