Australian rockers AC/DC are bringing their Rock or Bust World Tour to Moncton in September.

The group will perform at the Magnetic Hill outdoor concert venue on Sept. 5.

“There is a demand for it and we hope that the community will come out and support it,” says concert promoter Andre Hudon. “It's the Atlantic Canada community, it's not just Moncton. We will be drawing from all four Atlantic Canadian provinces.”

Superfan Don Coleman could not have been more excited when he heard the news.

“It gives me a gigantic lightning bolt, rock and roll rush right through my stomach up through my throat and I am just electrified by it all,” says Coleman.

AC/DC will also make stops in Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver, in addition to several cities in the United States.

The announcement was made Wednesday morning, just days after AC/DC kicked off the 57th annual Grammy Awards with a performance of their new single “Rock or Bust” and classic hit “Highway to Hell.”

AC/DC’s latest album, Rock or Bust, was released on Dec. 2.

The group last toured from 2008 to 2010 with its Black Ice World Tour. This will be the band’s second stop in Moncton, after performing at Magnetic Hill in 2009 to a crowd of roughly 70,000 fans.

The city has hosted shows by the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, the Eagles, U2 and Bruce Springsteen, among others, since 2005. Hudon says the hill has been quiet since Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 2012 due to timing and money.

“I think it is a question of finding the right act at the right time and making the right financial decision to be able to bring and put on a show of this nature,” says Hudon.

The last time the band was in town, there was roughly $10 million in economic spinoffs.

The City of Moncton did use taxpayer funds, but refused to say how much.

“I don’t have a specific dollar figure that I am prepared to discuss, that really is competitive information and we want to make sure that we remain competitive for the next big event that comes here,” says Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc.

Tickets for AC/DC’s upcoming concert will go on sale Feb. 16.
