Auburn Hills review at CDNOW.com NME.com has announced the UK Tour dates. Veteran rockers AC/DC have announced they will play five dates in the UK at the end of this year. The shows, kicking off in Birmingham on November 28 and rounding up in London on December 4, will be their first in the UK since their ’Ballbreaker’ tour of 1996. Birmingham NEC (November 28) Sheffield Arena (30) Manchester MEN Arena (1) Glasgow SE&CC (2) London Wembley Arena (4) Book Tickets with Way Ahead or Ticketmaster UK The band have been reported as stating that they were not entirely happy with the recent VH-1 Behind the scene special on the band. Brian Johnson says the group hated the show. ''I didn't like it. It was terribly done - bloody awful,'' says Johnson, who felt the show was sensationalized. As examples, he cited how the producers spent a half-hour on the overdose death of former AC/DC singer Bon Scott and dwelled on a serial killer who was a fan and focused on a tragic accident in 1991 at an AC/DC concert in Salt Lake City when three fans died after being crushed in the crowd.
