Rhumsaa Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think AC/DC really would break the bank - they cost hundreds of thousands and are hardly going to play the Villa Gardens If they could do a good outdoor venue (not a half arsed one) and have one big IOM Govt sponsored event then put a good band on cheap so you may not get much back ticket wise but the place is rammed and the atmosphere becomes electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planes Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 hmmmm, first reaction is disapointment. But I can totally understand why the DTL have booked them. Very safe. No doubts this gig will be great for all those involved. Personally if really must have 'classic' rock, break the bank and get AC/DC! They're a classic rock institution. Otherwise, it would be nice to see things progress. Example, this years download (aka donington) festivel. Whitesnake are playing Download. Or is that not what you mean? Sorry, what I mean is at this years Download they have the likes of the Prodigy playing as well as the heavier & classic rock acts. A fine move I think from the Download organisers. The way the Prodigy go about there live shows will very much appeal to a Download crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Are you against discussion on this discussion forum?" Slim - Jan 2009 Still it will be a great gig for Whitesnake fans - not my bag though... Anyone else confirmed yet?

oogie boogie Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 nothing confirmed, but heard something about the Red Hot Chili Pipers before. If they're going for that sort of novelty tosh they should've booked the Lancashite Hotpots or the Wurzels. If the Pipers are booked I'll be expecting no more than £10 a ticket or the DTL are rodding us blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
