ALIA Tours to AC/DC in Melbourne and Sydney

AC/DC, one of the greatest rock and roll bands on the planet, and who have sold over 200 million records worldwide, return home to Australia in February 2010 as part of the Black Ice World Tour.

It will be the band’s first Australian tour since January 2001 and will – without any question – be the most spectacular rock show ever staged in this country.

AC/DC will blast their way through each of the five major capital cities where they will appear at outdoor stadiums with one of the largest stage productions ever seen. The production will be moved around the country by 48 semi-trailers during February and March 2010.

The lighting was designed by Patrick Woodroffe (who is also creative director for this tour) and co-designed by Dave Hill. Cosmo Wilson is the man behind the console making it all happen on tour.

Cosmo has kindly agreed to conduct two ALIA tours of this massive lighting set up; one in Melbourne and one in Sydney. Both tours will take place ‘mid-afternoon’ with the exact time released close to the date – maybe even the morning of the tour – as the crew never know until last minute if the band will sound check for a second or third show. Please don’t sign up for the tour if you can’t fit in with this.

Melbourne
Where: Etihad Stadium
When: Saturday February 13th
Time: mid-afternoon

Sydney
