Live/Wire, the AC/DC tribute act, brings its two-hour rock show to The Engine Shed.
Live/Wire bring their AC/DC tribute to The Engine Shed on Friday 26 February, a two-hour rock set that takes the band's catalogue from the early years right up to the present day. They've been at this for twenty-five years now, and they describe the show as being built around cannons, Marshall stacks, and a set list that runs from Back in Black through to PWR UP, with the Bon Scott era classics mixed in too. If you're a fan, that covers a huge stretch of ground — the heavy, riff-driven sound of the late seventies and eighties alongside the more recent material.
On stage, Podge Blacksmith takes on the Brian Johnson role and Simon Davies plays Angus Young, with the rest of the band filling out the sound. Between the two of them, they cover the two most recognisable figures from the band's later decades, and the set is built to mirror the live experience AC/DC became known for — the wall of Marshall amps and the cannons are part of the setup, not just a nod to the stage show. It's a two-hour set, so there's plenty of room to work through the different eras without rushing through the hits.

Because the set list reaches PWR Up, the 2020 album, it's not just a trip back to the classics; they're playing the newer stuff alongside the songs that most people know. That means you'll hear the Bon Scott years and the Brian Johnson years in the same night, rather than one or the other. It's a full evening of rock, with the cannons and the stacks as the backdrop. The show is at The Engine Shed in Lincoln on Friday 26 February.
