"AC/DX" Rediscovers Original Foundations
In the picturesque town of Weiden, Upper Palatinate, the local cover band, AC/DX, is gearing up for a special celebration. On April 6th, the band will mark its 20th anniversary with a birthday party at the "Salute" in Rothenstadt. Tickets are available for 15 euros at the "Salute" and at the Imbiss at the Weiden ZOB, with prices rising to 18 euros at the box office if tickets remain.
The band, founded in Weiden two decades ago, has become a staple in the local music scene, performing over 1000 concerts across Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, and the USA over the past two decades. With a lineup that includes Volkmar "Volki" Severin, Dieter "Dieda" Zug, Mathias "Lemmy" Kiener, Wolfgang "Wolle" Eckstein, and Massimo "Massi" Leone, fans can expect a high-energy, nostalgia-driven rock concert paying tribute to AC/DX’s 20 years of music.
Dieter Zug, the drummer, hinted that the concert will feature surprises for the audience, including some songs presented in a new and unprecedented way, and guest musicians will contribute creatively. The motto of the party is "AC/DX is coming home," reflecting the band's roots in Weiden.
As AC/DX prepares to celebrate its milestone anniversary, it's not all music and fun in Weiden. Authorities are investigating a case of dog abuse in Eslarn, after a resident documented the mistreatment of a dog by a local resident. Elsewhere, a 73-year-old man from Schwandorf is suspected of exposing himself and masturbating in front of a family on a parking lot in Fronberg.
Meanwhile, a 74-year-old woman lost her footing while climbing a rock face in Upper Franconia and fell, with the safety rope unable to hold her. Investigations are ongoing, and the woman's condition is currently unknown. In another incident, an 83-year-old woman was attacked by a stranger in her home, with investigations revealing he had been there before.
Despite these incidents, the spirit of Weiden remains strong, with residents and visitors alike looking forward to the AC/DX anniversary concert. The event is scheduled to start at 8 PM, with doors opening at 7 PM. Fans attending should anticipate a setlist celebrating the band's 20-year history, including fan-favorite tracks and possibly rare or special song renditions. They may also experience potential guest appearances or collaborative performances, as anniversary shows often include surprises.
With the energetic style noted for their 2025 German tour dates, the AC/DX anniversary concert promises to be an unforgettable night of hard rock music, reminiscing the band's two-decade-long journey and celebrating their homecoming in Weiden. Stay tuned for more updates on potential unique elements scheduled for the Weiden event, as fans should stay alert for announcements close to the event date.
Other forms of entertainment, such as sports and sports-betting, are also popular amidst the excitement of the AC/DX 20th anniversary celebration. Sports enthusiasts can catch a game of football or basketball at the local facilities, or even place a bet on their favorite team during this time. Some predict the energy and anticipation surrounding the anniversary concert might also spur a rise in sports-betting activity within the town.
