AC/DC have added a handful of Canadian stops to their world tour in support of the multi-platinum “Black Ice.”

The Australian rock icons’ first stop in Canada will be as headliners at the Magnetic Hill Music Festival near Moncton, N.B., on Aug. 6. Tickets for the gig, which marks the band’s debut in Atlantic Canada, go on sale April 17 at 10 a.m.

The band will then go on to a slew of shows all over North America, including Montreal, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Vancouver, with more dates pending. Tickets for the confirmed Canadian shows go on sale April 18 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

“Black Ice,” AC/DC’s fifteenth studio album, was released last October and went on to become the best-selling album in Canada last year. The single “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train” also earned the group a Grammy nod for best rock performance by a duo or group with vocals at this year’s awards.

The band will kick off a three-month jaunt through Europe with a sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.

Here are AC/DC’s upcoming Canadian dates:
- Aug. 6 – Moncton, NB (Magnetic Hill Music Festival)
- Aug. 8 – Montreal, QC (Olympic Stadium)
- Aug. 22 – Winnipeg, MB (Canad Inns Stadium)
