The legendary Australian rock group is on the road in North American through the end of September in support of its November 2014 release, Rock or Bust. The band appeared at the Coachella Music Festival in April before playing 24 cities in Europe from May 5 through July 25. A North American leg began on Aug. 22 and will feature performances in 11 stadiums during a five-week run that wraps at the end of September. The Quebec performance was the first of three outdoor events staged in Canadian markets during the trek. Finally, in November and December, the band will return home to wrap the tour with a seven-city swing through Australia and New Zealand.
