Dc/uk (formerly AC/DC Uk) & Shef Leppard

A tribute evening at Manchester Academy 3 pairing DC/UK, formerly AC/DC UK, who play the music of AC/DC, with Shef Leppard, who pay tribute to Def Leppard. Both acts are tribute bands, not the original groups.

DC/UK, formerly AC/DC UK, is a tribute act devoted to AC/DC and has been performing for well over a decade. The band has played in more than 20 countries, appeared on television and taken part in major festivals alongside better-known groups. They have shared stages with people formerly or currently involved with AC/DC, including Bob Richards, Tony Currenti and Stevie Young, and Simon Wright is set to be added to that list.

The band also appeared on screen in the Sylvester Stallone film Expend4bles, playing the resident band in a bar scene and jamming on set with Stallone. Their notable shows include several sold-out nights at Glasgow's O2 ABC, a slot on the metal dome stage at Graspop Metal Meeting, a closing set on the Indigo stage at Stone Free in the Millennium Dome after Alice Cooper, and the Undercover Festival in Warsaw, broadcast on Polsat TV. They have also played the main stage at Herning Rocker in Denmark and Bospop, where Santana headlined.

Shef Leppard is presented alongside DC/UK as a tribute to Def Leppard, so the evening pairs two tribute acts devoted to classic rock. Manchester Academy 3 is one of the venues in Manchester hosting concerts and shows. The night suits fans of AC/DC and Def Leppard who want their songs performed live by tribute bands.
