Interesting who plays in current ac/dc line up.
They put the tickets for Seattle on sale almost 2 years ahead of the shows.Quote

Not directly connected, but I've been watching an ad poster at my local bus stop for upcoming Metallica shows in Helsinki in July. It is called 'No Repeat Weekend'. Interesting concept: two shows, two different setlists, two different warming acts. Starting with 129 Euros, so not so bad price for the whole package (for the fans, I mean. Not that I would go).

I love a lot of these bands. This would have been great 30 years ago but really see no value in it compared to 2016. Where some acts weren't playing much and had unique sets. Which I got into for $160 reserved bleacher and paid like $450 for accommodations but feel I paid too much.
GNR - same set they always do, same set since 2016
Iron Maiden - still sounds great but I was regularly getting in for $20 well into the reunion era and they play a 100% static setlist. Could fly somewhere to see the same show in a smaller place. If they have a new album out it will probably be terrible and take up half the set.
AC/DC - no Malcolm, no AC/DC. Have my doubts they won't be completely washed up at this point either. If not I can probably just see elsewhere.
Ozzy - this really should have been Black Sabbath but he will be sitting and lip syncing, will appear half dead. Probably also has highest cancelation rate of any artist, ever.
Metallica & Tool I haven't seen the 1990's. There's a reason for that.
I am actually relieved it doesn't have any must see acts.

Yes, a real question. Hope for Brian, Phil, Cliff, Stevie and you know... Angus

Coachella in early October? Won't it still be kind of hot down there?
Hope it doesn't turn into Death Trip 2023.

Based on the scorching/melting heat of Desert Trip 2016, I imagine it will be blazing hell! And then there's the nasty desert dust which took its toll on poor old Micks throat resulting in one of the two *Vegas '16 shows being canceled!
DEATH TRIP 2023.. ...

Too bad they didn't book Sabbath instead of Ozzy... I'd be there in a heartbeat.. albeit, I'm a bit concerned that his last two performances were lip synced... might be the case with this show too

Hoping it's that lineup. Also, I'm hoping they announce a farewell tour. Can't see them getting together, rehearsing, etc. just for one show!

Maybe your memory has melted away lol...or yes the fact that you're from baking Central Texas. Being from the cooler temps of the Socal coast, I can tell you it was HOT in the inland desert- both weekends. They didn't have AC in the bathrooms for nothing!
