Black Ice World Tour was a 2008–2010 concert tour by Australian rock band AC/DC in support of the group's 15th studio album, Black Ice, which was released in October 2008.
The tour was the band's first since the Stiff Upper Lip World Tour in 2000 and 2001. It was the last tour with founding member and rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, who left the band in September 2014 due to ill health and it was also the last tour with longtime drummer Phil Rudd who was charged in November 2014 for hiring a hitman to murder someone and possession of drugs. They were replaced by Stevie Young and Chris Slade respectively. This was also the last full tour to feature longtime lead vocalist Brian Johnson as he left the band halfway during the Rock or Bust World Tour due to hearing problems and was replaced by Axl Rose.
The jaunt began in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, United States in late October 2008. By spring 2010, the tour had reached North America, Europe, South America, Oceania and Asia.
The three concerts at River Plate were filmed and recorded, and were later released on DVD and Blu-ray Disk. The outdoor concerts outside of USA also had the red Angus Young Devil hats on the stage set.
The tour ended up being the most successful by AC/DC, grossing roughly $441.1 million, making it the fourth highest-grossing concert tour of all-time.
The tour began with a North American leg, kicking off in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in late October and continuing until late December. The initial leg was met with unprecedented demand, with 18 record sell-outs across the continent. A second North American leg commenced in January 2009, ultimately culminating later in the month in Nashville, Tennessee.
