DC/Uk

A London concert by AC/DC UK, presented under the title DC/Uk, at the O2 Academy2 Islington. This is a tribute act, not the original Australian hard rock band.

AC/DC were formed in Sydney in 1973 by the guitarists Angus Young and Malcolm Young, and their hard rock sound built on riff-driven songs and a raw, direct approach. Their best-known records include Highway to Hell (1979) and Back in Black (1980), the latter made after the death of the original vocalist Bon Scott, with Brian Johnson joining as singer. AC/DC UK is a tribute to that band, so the music heard on the night is a homage to AC/DC rather than a performance by the original group.

The O2 Academy2 Islington is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and this evening suits those who want to hear the songs of AC/DC performed live by a tribute act.
