LEGENDARY rockers AC/DC will play their Black Ice tour concerts at Etihad Stadium in February after the date was previously thrown into doubt because of AFL objections.
The current signing of a new contract between the story and the stadium has allowed AC/DC to go ahead with the three Melbourne gigs on February 11, 13 and 15.
The AFL had previously objected saying those dates would clash with a possible pre-season NAB Cup match.
The league and the stadium announced their new deal today, worth an extra $5.5 million to AFL clubs over a 15 year period.
The deal elevated the minimum number of matches to be played at the venue but also gives the stadium's operators biggest flexibility to stage non football events, such as concerts like AC/DC.
The Aussie rockers have sold 180,000 tickets for their Melbourne shows.
