Livewire The Ac/Dc Show

Livewire is a tribute act devoted to AC/DC, the Australian hard rock band. This Huddersfield booking presents the group's songs from their catalogue, performed by a separate line-up.

AC/DC were formed in Sydney in 1973 by Malcolm and Angus Young, and their hard rock sound is the basis of this show. Livewire is a tribute to the band rather than the band itself. Its repertoire runs from Back in Black, the 1980 album whose title track is central to the set, through to PWR UP, released in 2020, with a selection of songs from the Bon Scott era.

On stage, the line-up is Podge Blacksmith as Brian Johnson, Simon Davies as Angus Young and Dan Mosley as Malcolm Young. Eddie Clark plays Cliff Williams on bass, and Paul Alwin takes the drum parts, combining the groove associated with Phil Rudd and the power of Chris Slade. The production is described as including cannons and a bank of Marshall amplifiers. The company invites AC/DC fans to sing along.

Smile Bar & Venue in Huddersfield hosts concerts and shows. The evening suits listeners who know the AC/DC catalogue and want to hear its classic songs performed live by a tribute act.
