Live show by DC/UK, the UK AC/DC tribute act that rebranded from AC/DC UK, at Sub89 on Friar Street.
DC/UK are playing Sub 89 on Friday 19 March, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. If the name doesn't ring a bell, it's because they've spent most of their life as AC/DC UK. They've been around for more than two decades, making them one of the UK's longest-running AC/DC tribute acts, and they've played in over 20 countries along the way. In 2025 they rebranded, dropped the 'AC' from the front, and now go by DC/UK.
They describe themselves as Europe's most explosive tribute to AC/DC, and the full-sized show is built around the props that go with that. There are six firing cannons, a gigantic Hells Bell, an inflatable Rosie, and giant Angus Caps sitting atop a wall of Marshall speakers. Classic Rock Magazine called them one of the best AC/DC tribute acts, and fans have described the show as electric, thoroughly convincing and spectacular.
Beyond the stage, they've appeared on television to millions and shared the stage with several AC/DC members. They even had a cameo in the Hollywood blockbuster Expend4bles, playing the house band at Barney's favourite bar, which earned them a 'You Guys Are Pretty Good' from Sylvester Stallone. It's a long way from a Reading club night, but that's the kind of run they've put together over the years.
