Rock or Bust World Tour was a 2015-2016 concert tour by Australian rock band AC/DC in support of the group's seventeenth studio album, Rock or Bust, released in November 2014.
Opening on 10 April 2015, at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.
Malcolm Young was replaced by his and Angus' nephew Stevie Young and Phil Rudd was replaced by their former drummer Chris Slade. They have both played for AC/DC on the Blow Up Your Video World Tour and on the Razors Edge World Tour, respectively.
In Germany, the band set a new world record in the number of sold tickets within the shortest timespan, with more than 300,000 tickets sold out in seventy-seven minutes.
In Switzerland, the band set a new record in the duration to a 'sold out' concert. The concert in Zurich was sold out in 6 minutes (over 40,000 tickets)
The band played at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, performing "Rock or Bust" and "Highway to Hell" on February 8, 2015.
The last 22 shows were rescheduled as Brian Johnson was ordered to stop touring immediately. Ten shows from March 8, 2016 to April 4, 2016 were cancelled and had to be rescheduled, with Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses appearing in Johnson's place marking first time that AC/DC has featured a lead vocalist other than Brian Johnson since they concluded the Highway to Hell Tour on 27 January 1980.
As part of this tour, AC/DC performed the first concert at the Olympic Stadium in London since its redevelopment following the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
