[Music] AC/DC Wembley July 2024

[Pogue Mahone]

"Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"?

Ha!

I’ve just looked it up. It was during Whole Lotta Rosie, and continued into the next song - Rocker. Throughout it all, the band had no idea.

 

[METALMICKY]

Metallica do similar these days as well.

Gutted that Metallica have not done any UK stadium gigs as part of the current M72 tour. They just did Donnington last year and way too old now for standing in a big field.

How much are tickets?

Pearl Jam have recently announced summer tour inc. Spuds and Manc, £160 though

I’m waiting till they do their M11- A505 tour as that passes quite close by to me.

I suspect that - unless there's something else booked in between - there will be an additional date, maybe the Friday, added. It's a pricey beast to hire for a number of days. People booking places like Wembley Stadium will of course often reserve more days than they advertise ready for "exceptional demand"!

I've seen them in smaller venues and they were great. It would have to be something truly unmissable for me to do either Wembley venue these days (done SO many and can't be bothered with the hassle now) and also stadium gigs don't float my boat these days, even if they have all the bells and whistles. I suspect this will be the final tour for AC/DC so don't miss the opportunity if you have a hankering for seeing them live - they normally put on a great show.

Will forever regret not going to see them at River Plate.

 

[chickens]

I’m assuming that anal grapes are the Highway to Hell they were singing about? They’re certainly mine if I’m forgetful with the germoloids.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Thanks only thing that worries me this ain’t ac/dc of the 80s always wanted to see them live so probably will get a ticket thanks

True. Thinking about the times I have seen them, once was in the 80s and the 3 times over the last decade.....once on the last tour with Axl Rose singing. Whilst these last 3 shows are obvs not the ACDC of the 80s they were still very enjoyable and certainly fun.

The video of this show is just nuts. Everyone seems squeezed in like sardines.

 

[vegster]

Two dates Wednesday 3rd and Sunday 7th, tickets on general sale tomorrow.

Will they put an extra date on between?

Or is it more about resting Brian Johnson's voice, he is 76 years old after all?

" Resting his Voice " ? Wtf ? He hasn't got one...you can't hear the words anyway. One of most overrated bands of all time.

 

[vegster]

I saw AC/DC at Wembley in 1979, supporting The Who (The Stranglers also played). Bon Scott was the singer then.

There was a PA failure during one of their songs. The band didn’t realise, and carried on playing. Watching them giving it the full rockstar cliche performance in total silence was very funny, and has stayed with me.

AC/DC unplugged ! Now that's a conundrum

 

[Driver8]

I’ve seen AC/DC quite a few times but not sure I’d pay £30 to see them now let alone £130. Brian’s voice has gone and who wants to see a 68 year old Angus in his underpants.

Oh dear that was an error. That's akin to no thanks to Metallica Moscow 1991

I will put you down as a ‘don‘t know’ then

I accept the Brian argument, and i think it's silly money for the gig, but come on, just because Angus is grey doesn't mean he's not worth seeing. The videos from the Power Trip gig in the US last year look amazing.

For what it's worth I thought the Axl Show was unreal

 

[Dibdab]

The ticket prices are insane. Supposing they get about 80k a night they’ll be taking in around £10m a night.

Saw them about 1978 at the Brighton Centre, it was loud but boring. Saw Thin Lizzy twice there soon after and they were light years ahead in terms of stage presence and the quality of the songs. Got To Give it Up live was incredible..I could not hear for two days afterwards.

I saw Axl fronting them as well, I thought it was excellent….and extraordinary to say the least

 

[Nobby]

Bon Scott.

That’s all really.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

This is a good read. It also highlights Bon Scott’s superb lyric writing skills.
