AC/DC at Wembley Stadium
« on: June 26, 2009, 10:49:30 AM »
Anyone going tonight? I am lucky enough to have standing tickets and hence unable to concentrate at work today :-)
Should be rocking, never seen them at a venue this size before!
Hoping for a longer set list than their gigs earlier in the year ...

The Wembley show should be amazing! Unfortunately I don't have tickets for that one.
I'm seeing them at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Tuesday night instead! Can't wait! There are rumours going around here that the show is said to be AC/DC's last UK gig too.

Yes - I fear it maybe their last UK gig ... one of the reasons I have shelled out to see them twice this tour. Never wasted money with AC/DC IMHO, but perhaps particulary important this time around ...

I am going, leaving work in about 15 mins to catch the train up town.

DC and Lizzy got me into guitar driven music so am really looking forward to it.

I think its the Subways supporting - Indie Rock outfit from Welwyn Garden City (I saw them about 5 years ago in a small pub, they have clearly come a long way!). Probably won't make it there for the support though, espec. as its not Lizzy anymore.

Didn't they win a Glasto battle of the unsigned bands thing?  Think I have them on a CD I got from galsto a few years back, they're blatently the best band on it.

Yeah, it's the Subways.  And maybe - or maybe not - The Answer on first? 

Why is it always so difficult to find out who the support bands are on tours?  :?

It's The Answer and The Subways supporting AC/DC in Glasgow. I checked the Hampden Park website this morning and they have the running times for the show listed. I'm assuming that they will have the same support for Wembley.

Thanks for that!  :D

The Answer are supporting too ... I got some spam from them:

Quote from: The Answer
You're receiving this as you've bought tickets for the forthcoming AC/DC shows. We're truly honoured to be supporting AC/DC on the Black Ice World Tour and with just a few days to go now until the UK shows we wanted to take the opportunity to say hi and let you know a bit more about us.

Firstly, at the shows we'll be onstage at 6.15pm at Wembley and Hampden and 6.45pm at Punchestown so get down early, grab y'self a pint and come and check us out.

I guess, as doors open at 4pm, the Subways are on before The Answer ... DC are on at 8:25 apparently.

No, it's the other way round - The Answer at 6.15, the Subways at 7.15-ish, AC/DC at 8.25.

I think the doors only open so early so there's loads of time for people to arrive, find their seats and buy overpriced drinks.

Do I detect a dose of cynicism there Philly? Surely you must realise they have to make some money  :P
I think I hate being indecisive.
