Aussie rock legends poised to announce Optus Stadium concert
Ten years after they last shook Perth, Australian rock legends AC/DC are due to hit town for at least one stadium date later this year. The band's previous visit was in November 2015, when Angus Young and co. performed two massive gigs at Domain Stadium in Subiaco as part of their Rock or Bust world tour. It's understood that AC/DC will play at least one concert on their global trek on latest chart-topping album, 2020's Power Up, at Optus Stadium in December, with a second show dependent on ticket sales. The visit is expected to be confirmed next week. Starring guitar god Young and long-serving UK singer Brian Johnson, AC/DC has been on the road for more than a year. The rest of the current touring line-up features Stevie Young, who replaced his late uncle Malcolm on guitar in 2014, plus the American rhythm section of bassist Chris Chaney and drummer Matt Laug.

AC/DC completed 12 North American dates in late May are poised to begin another run of European stadium shows, kicking off in Prague on June 26. The band's last scheduled concert is in Edinburgh on August 21. AC/DC sold more than 520,000 tickets on the 11-date Australasian leg of the Rock or Bust tour, while they flogged 750,000 seats during the record-breaking Black Ice visit in 2009. Melbourne-based Van Egmond Group, part of TEG Group since 2020, promoted both of those tours and is expected to bring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Down Under again.

The Aussie rock gods are not the only big name tipped to play Optus Stadium, with a high profile pop act pencilled in for February.

Australian trial says tech for social media teen ban can work
SYDNEY: Australia's world-leading ban on under-16s joining social media sites cleared a big hurdle Friday as a trial found digital age checks can work 'robustly and effectively'. Sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and X could face fines of up to Aus$50 million (US$32 million) for failing to comply with the legislation, which was passed in November. They have described the law -- which is due to come into effect by the end of this year -- as vague, rushed and 'problematic'. There has been widespread concern over children's use of online platforms as evidence shows that social media can have negative effects on children's mental and physical health. Digital age verification systems -- which would be critical to the ban -- can work, said the interim findings of an independent Age Assurance Technology Trial, conducted for the government. 'These preliminary findings indicate that age assurance can be done in Australia privately, robustly and effectively,' it said. There are 'no significant technological barriers' to deploying age checking systems in Australia, said the trial's project director, Tony Allen. 'These solutions are technically feasible, can be integrated flexibly into existing services and can support the safety and rights of children online,' he said in a statement. In a separate interview with Australia's Nine Network, Allen said preventing children circumventing age verification tools was a 'big challenge', however. 'I don't think anything is completely foolproof,' he said. There are a 'plethora' of approaches to age verification but no single solution to suit all cases, said the trial report, in which 53 organisations took part. Australia's legislation is being closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans. Greece spearheaded a proposal this month for the European Union to limit children's use of online platforms by setting an age of digital adulthood -- barring children from social media without parental consent.
