AC/DC tribute show Livewire, with Podge Blacksmith as Brian Johnson and Simon Davies as Angus Young, at The Engine Shed.
Livewire bring their AC/DC tribute to The Engine Shed on Saturday 27 February. It's a two-hour show that they describe as a celebration of 25 years of the band's work, and they've built it around the things that make an AC/DC gig what it is: cannons, Marshall stacks, and a set list that spans the whole era. The songs run from Back in Black through to PWR UP, with the classics from the Bon Scott years mixed in as well.
Fronting the show are Podge Blacksmith as Brian Johnson and Simon Davies as Angus Young, so you've got both the voice and the school-uniform guitar work that the band is known for. Between the two of them, they cover the two distinct halves of the AC/DC story: the Bon Scott years and the Brian Johnson era, with the set list pulling from both. The whole thing is a two-hour run, so it's a fair chunk of the band's catalogue in one go.
It's a tribute act, so the focus is on the songs rather than new material. The set list reaches from Back in Black all the way to PWR UP, which means you'll hear the big hits from the 80s alongside the more recent stuff, and the Bon Scott classics in between. The cannons and the stacks of Marshall amps are part of the set, so it's as much about the look of the stage as it is about the music.
