Related: Wolfmother, AC/DC.
If Slash dropping into a studio session wasn’t enough to convince you that Andrew Stockdale and his Wolfmother cohorts are living the surreal life, how about the prospect of a national tour with Acca Dacca?
The bombastic Sydney four-piece will team up with Australia’s greatest rock exports for five arena dates as part of the latter’s Black Ice world tour. It will be the first time since 2001 that AC/DC have toured Australia. According to a report in the Herald Sun, Isabelle Scott, mother of the band's late singer Bon Scott, is expected to attend the band’s concert in Perth.
Tickets will range from $99 to $149.90 with the band “deliberately attempting to keep prices as low as possible”. Ah ha. Tickets go on sale on May 25.

you pay for 48 semi trailers and see how much you have to charge for tickets!
what's with the ''ha ha'' seeing a band like this in a venue like this with the production they need - seems to make a whole lot of sense that this costs what it does - i think that's a fair bloody price
and can't wait for this show
mo, reckon we can get drunk and take friday off?
fuck i wish wolfmother would just die

i think it's our duty as proud Australians
hmm i'm kinda suprised dallas crane arent supporting or The Answer.. same label..and the answer have been supporting them on the rest of the tour...
Super exciting though!
it's ''ah ha'', not ''ha ha''.
i think that is a very reasonable price for acca dacca
considering what other bands of their size (yep not many about) would charge
yeah i am bummed the answer aren't playing they were great @ the annandale back when...
I saw them in London last month and they were very, very good
i'm bummed i've never seen the Answer.. what i've heard of them is pretty sweet..(what the datsuns could have been)...i think it might have something to do with their drummer breaking his hand..(but that should only take 6-8 weeks to heal, surely!)
boring.
the new datsuns record rules i reckon.....
we supported the answer @ the annandale... i think they're like a louder heavier version of the black crowes
yes, fair call, that's a better comparison for sure!
i'm going to this with my folks..they're super excited.
want to go to this. whatever QEII/anz stadium in brisbane is called now is so far away though.
I'll tell you a sad truth.
wolfmother (the original) was a better band than acdc with brian. sorry guys.
so it is fitting that these bands should tour together.
actually that is just wrong. but it is fitting anyway.
has anyone here seen AC/DC more than once?
yes.
did you get something out of it the second time that you didn't the first? just interested. i saw them once and feel like it was pretty comprehensive, but perhaps i am missing something.
i saw them on the Back in Black tour in 80/81? at the SIdney Myer music bowl, i'm never going to see them again as i don't think they could ever be that good again.
yes, yes i did. 1976 with bon. 1981 with brian. need i say more?
fair point
fair point (in 1981)
fair gap between gigs for 2nd/3rd shows... if Pink can outsell AC/DC then I just don't know this world i live in.
The first concert I ever went to was their Razors Edge tour when I was in high school. It was fucken awesome, but it was very much a greatest hits show. The stage show is still pretty awesome, acca dacca are one of those bands you have to see once!!
pass
pink vs. accadacca...bring it on.
Maybe it's just me but WHAT is Etihad Stadium? Is this what Vodafone Arena used to be?
Probably an anagram.
Formerly known as Telstra Dome, formerly known as Colonial Stadium. Fuck the sponsors, it's Docklands to me.
We're calling it Love Symbol Arena.
Happy AC/DC day! Tickets on sale this morning!
I need a favour!! Can anyone buy me 4 Melb GA tickets? I can transfer money to you immediately - I've just remembered I have no active visa cards due to stolen wallet! PM me!
i'd help you out tangy but i maxed my credit card paying for my tickies on friday.
i hope you get it organized!
Me too!
wolf mother and acdc sounds heinous.
i like ac/dc though
And thanks!
shit, forgot about this.
2nd melb show has been announced apparently. cool.
low! wattage! rock n roll!
2nd sydney show on sale now.. anon
sold out of $99 tickets for both melb shows
got to see them in canberra a like 10 years ago. the bogan element was high in those parts......hence why we went there
third show announced in melbourne, on the monday,
Got standing tix to the Saturday Sydney show. Woo!
Why Wolfmother?!
It's like getting AC/DC Lite before the full-strength version come onstage. Boring.
Anyways, band's of AC/DC's size don't need support acts. waste of time.
I find Wolfmother as derivative and predictable as the next guy, but golly it'll be fun to see them in a big rock arena. Big, dumb fun.
looks like saturdays all gone in melb as well, bah.
Ill go to see wolfmother but ACDC are shit!
as is the thursday
110,000 tickets sold for Melbourne in 45 minutes.
wowsers.
