Thu 11 Feb – AC/DC, Wolfmother, Calling All Cars

It has been 9 years since AC/DC has played in Australia, so this was my first chance to see the legends of my childhood in the live arena.

Expectations were extremely high, this band has a plethora of true hits, and a number of Aussie rock anthems.

Supporting AC/DC at Etihad Stadium, formerly Telstra Dome, was Calling all Cars, a horrible attempt at child-friendly radio rock. Rubbish, don’t even bother.
