British AC/DC tribute band Live/Wire plays a two-hour show of note-for-note renditions across the AC/DC discography.
Live/Wire bring their AC/DC tribute to The Live Rooms on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 January, two nights of the same show back-to-back. It's a two-hour rock set, and they're a six-man ensemble, so there's a full band on stage rather than a stripped-back version.
They've been at this for 25 years now, and they play note-for-note renditions from across the whole AC/DC discography. That means they cover both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras, from Back in Black through to the 2020 release PWR UP. It's not just a handful of the well-known tracks, either; they pull from the entire catalogue, so you'll hear the early stuff alongside the later records. They describe it as a full-scale concert experience, and they've built it around the sound, energy and stage presence of the original band.
They're a British act and have earned a critical reputation for how closely they stick to the original recordings. The set runs for two hours, and they bill it as a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. If you've followed the band's work over the years, you'll know they don't do a 'best of' summary; they go for the full sound, and having six people on stage helps them keep that weight.

Both nights run on the same schedule: doors open at 19:00, and there's a 23:00 curfew, so you've got a good window to get in and settle before things kick off. Tickets are £22.50, and the venue is The Live Rooms, 1 Station Rd, Chester CH1 3DR.
