AC/DC stadium is double booked
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 June 2009
Rooms get double booked all the time, though when you double book a 55,000 capacity stadium more people will probably notice. It turns out that plans for AC/DC to play the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne next February may be scuppered because the Australian Football League, who have an ongoing contract with the venue, have pre-season matches planned to take place at the complex on the three dates the band are due to play. An alternative venue is now being sought for the three gigs, two of which have sold out, though the two obvious alternatives aren’t available – the Melbourne Cricket Ground is, unsurprisingly, hosting some cricket matches, while the Skilled Stadium is being redeveloped. So any one reading this in Melbourne with a big garden, give AC/DC a call.
