Eat Cat 2 Productions — the organizers of the
Big Ball, the world's largest
AC/DC convention — have announced the details of this year's event, set to take place August 4-6 at the North East Wales Institute (NEWI) in Wrexham, Wales.
Fans will once again see the return of the now infamous Big Ball stage, a replica of
AC/DC's touring stage from the
"Back In Black" era, plus 17 bands and DJs, aftershow parties, films, record fair, guitar workshops, seminars and book signings.
THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND headline the Friday on the main stage. Friends of
AC/DC since the mid-'70s, these guys asked to play, in order to pay their respects to late
AC/DC singer
Bon Scott. Also scheduled are guitar workshops by
Stic and
Simon from
DIRTYDC, and a seminar hosted by author
Paul Stenning, who penned
"Two Sides To Every Glory", the
AC/DC biography released last year through
Chrome Dreams.
AC/DC tribute sets will come from
VOLTS, the recently reformed Scottish tribute to both
Bon Scott and
Brian Johnson;
HELLS BELLES — the female tribute from Germany;
HOLE FULL OF LOVE, the second jaw-dropping German tribute; the incredible
ACTION IN DC, the Dutch lads who should be called
DC IN DISGUISE... they're THAT close!; and
BONFIRE from Los Angeles.
