AC/DC to play free show for contest winners
Rock icons AC/DC, who will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, play their only U.S. concert of 2003 on March 11 at New York City's Roseland Ballroom, according to Epic Records.
Tickets to the concert won't be sold; the 3,200-capacity venue will be filled with winners of various radio, retail and online contests. Fans can enter to win tickets at the band's Epic Records website.

All reissues will feature "restored album art, as well as enhanced packaging including additional rare and historic photos, new liner notes and comprehensive track information," according to a press release.
