AC/DC's North American tour will start in Minneapolis, Minn., on April 10, with stops in Texas, California, Nevada, Michigan, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Florida, Tennessee, Illinois and Ohio, as well as a concert in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The dates will go throughout April and May, and it's unclear if the band intends to add more concerts to the lineup later on, with some fans voicing concern for certain missing cities like New York City and Toronto.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, Dec. 6, at noon local time on Ticketmaster.

The last time AC/DC toured North America was during the Rock or Bust World Tour in 2015 and 2016. The extensive tour featured a couple of rounds of U.S. dates, with the first group of dates in late 2015 before AC/DC returned with more concerts in 2016.
