We are a band and we want to play at the AC/DC fan meeting - what do we need to do?
In recent years, the organizing team has collected an extensive list of band contacts and information, which is worked through every year when it comes to band selection. Bands that would like to perform at the international AC/DC fan meeting can contact the organization team via Facebook or email: Current videos of performances are very helpful, e.g. YouTube links, the possible playlists or information as to whether you are more Bon- or Brian-oriented, which show elements you have, of course internet presence, if available, etc. Bands that were noted on the contact list remain listed - Of course, there is no guarantee that you will be booked at some point: The requests are not selected in order, but according to the quality of the show in combination with the overall program.
-
How the bands are chosen?
Three bands on two days and only AC/DC: The organisation team pays attention to the playlists of the bands: as few song repetitions as possible, a program from the Bon Scott era, a program from the Brian Johnson era and besides the standard songs, also special songs, just like some which where never or rarely played by the original. This means the bands should be fine with rehearsing new songs, or waive songs, they have on their playlist usually, to provide variety.
As it is an international fan meeting, we try to get bands or at least some musicians from foreign countries. Showelements, ountfits and instruments can be close to the original, but do not need to. The important thing is audience and band enjoing each other. No perfection is demanded from the band, but still, one should be skilled in one's trade. Bands which proved their entertainment are likely being booked another time, as we try to get at least one band every fan meeting, which already thrilled the audience.
