The legendary rock band AC/DC will stage its first ever show in Bulgaria on May 14 2010 at Sofia's Vassil Levski national stadium, a statement on the band's official website said on December 18 2009.

The gig is part of AC/DC 2010 world tour with the Sofia concert being the first one of the tour's European leg.

On May 16, the band will perform in Romania's Bucharest followed by gigs in Italy, Austria, Germany and France.

Tickets for the Sofia gig are sold at eventim.bg. Princes range from 75 leva for standing tickets to 130 leva in front of the stage. Tickets in the VIP balcony of the stadium cost 200 leva.

The band seems to have managed to persuade the management of Vassil Levski national stadium to grant the use the facility, which is the biggest of its kind in the country.

After Madonna's concert in August 2009, part of the stadium's pitch was ruined and authorities pledged not to let any other performer use the ground.
