Pre-AC/DC at Hampden Park

Tonight is the big night for any self respecting rock fan in Glasgow – or should that be Scotland. AC/DC roll into Hampden Park as part of their “Black Ice” World Tour and the anticipation is high. I’ve got a few mates from Dundee coming down as well as one from Stevenage coming up for the gig, so it’s a logistical nightmare trying to fit everyone in for drinks before we head off to Hampden.

The Solid is bracing itself for a day of madness, as it’ll be busy from early on until about 5:00pm. It’ll be interesting to nip into the pub tomorrow at about 9:30pm when AC/DC are in the middle of their set – interesting to see how empty the pub is on a Tuesday!

Wednesday Thunder are playing The Academy as part of their (second) farewell tour. I’ve seen them a few times (including the previously mentioned farewell tour) and am still thinking about going to see them one last time.

Thursday I’m out again, this time seeing Northern Ireland’s The Answer for a gig re-scheduled from April. The band are supporting AC/DC on their current tour, so they should be good doing a longer set.
