According to De Standaard, approximately 7,000 AC/DC fans who bought tickets to see the band perform on May 16 at Werchter Festivalpark in Werchter, Belgium have requested to get their money back because they don’t want to watch Axl Rose on lead vocals. Live Nation said the newly released seats were then first made available to those people who were previously on the waiting list for the event, with the remaining 7,000 tickets once again going on sale to the general public.
The show is one of twelve European dates AC/DC will perform with the Guns N’ Roses frontman on lead vocals after Brian Johnson was ordered to stop touring or risk going deaf.
A similar refund offer has been made available on some of the other dates on AC/DC’s European tour, which kicks off on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and runs through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark. Following that, Rose will head out on his previously announced summer reunion tour with Guns N’ Roses. AC/DC’s ten postponed U.S. dates will take place later in the year, also with Rose as frontman, but the refund policy on those shows has not been revealed.
