AC/DC Star Phil Rudd Announces Head Job Tour

(hennemusic) Former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd has announced dates for the first leg of a European tour in support of his recently-reissued 2014 album, "Head Job."

The trek will begin at the Hard Rock Café in Oslo, Norway on March 31, with shows currently scheduled to end in late May with a 5-date UK run. Also included is an April 28 headlining appearance at the annual BonFest event in Kirriemuir, Scotland, which sees rock fans from around the world gather in the former home town of late AC/DC singer Bon Scott to celebrate his life and music.

"Hey everyone!," says Rudd. "Delighted to announce the first part of my European Tour for 2017, look forward to seeing you all real soon!" Rudd originally issued the album in 2014, just months before a series of legal troubles led to an 8-month home detention - on charges of threatening to kill a contractor, possession of methamphetamine and possession of cannabis - that sidelined him from joining AC/DC for a world tour in support of the "Rock Or Bust" album.
