The band bring the full size AC/DC show to the fore, complete with the Cannons, the Hells Bell, the walkways and the stunning backdrops & drapes. Add a rock hard rhythm section and ‘Angus Lorne’ cutting the rug as Angus Young and it’s a no-brainer as to why this band is the hardest working in the UK of its kind. You’ll hear all the classics from ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ & ‘Highway To Hell’ to ‘Thunderstruck’ & ‘Back In Black’. There are no cutting corners with Live/Wire, it’s the full on show.
Joining Live/Wire on tour are top Thin Lizzy tribute Limehouse Lizzy. These guys are the world's number one tribute to Thin Lizzy, keeping alive the great rock music left by Philip Lynott, Brian Downey, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson & Thin Lizzy. Expect Whisky in the Jar, Parisienne Walkways, The Boys are Back in Town, and many more of Phil Lynott's genre-defying hits. Add to this their magnificent mirrored backdrop, police lights, and full pyrotechnic display and you know you will not be left disappointed!
