Tag Of The Day: AC/DC ‘Shoot To Thrill’
What better way to mark Australia Day than with a short sharp blast of AC/DC? Since 1973 the Sydney based band have been putting the ‘rock’ firmly into rock and roll but always delivering it with their unique Ozzie humour. Despite picking up an English front man in 1980 in the shape of Geordie singer Brian Johnston, AC/DC remain the archetypal Australian band and undoubted national icons.
The announcement that AC/DC are to headline this year’s Download festival alongside Bullet For My Valentine and Wolfmother proves, as if it was needed, that AC/DC can still rock out harder than bands half their age. The eighth Download festival marks the 30th anniversary of rock festivals at Donington Park – the first of which were the infamous Monsters Of Rock festivals which AC/DC played all the way back in 1981.
