Livewire The Ac/Dc Show

A tribute show in which the Live/Wire band performs the music of AC/DC, the Australian hard rock group, at Manchester University in Manchester.

This is a tribute to AC/DC, the Australian rock band, performed by Live/Wire rather than by the original group. The programme draws on the band's catalogue from the album Back in Black through to PWR UP, released in 2020, alongside a selection of songs from the Bon Scott era. The show is described as a two-hour rock 'n'roll set, with cannon effects and a full bank of Marshall amplifiers.

The line-up places Podge Blacksmith on vocals as Brian Johnson, Simon Davies as Angus Young and Dan Mosley as Malcolm Young. Eddie Clark plays bass as Cliff Williams, and Paul Alwin covers drums, combining the groove associated with Phil Rudd and the forceful style of Chris Slade. Live/Wire has more than twenty years of touring behind it.

The evening is aimed at AC/DC fans, with the performers inviting the audience to sing along. Manchester University hosts concerts and shows in Manchester.
