Rock fans are set for a high-voltage start to the weekend when Australia's leading AC/DC tribute act, Dirty Deeds, takes centre stage at the Airlie Beach Hotel this July 4th and 5th.
This sensational tribute act will get the crowd pumping with a stage-rocking performance, bringing AC/DC's iconic hits to life in a show dedicated to both frontman Bon Scott and his successor, Brian Johnson.
“If you're looking for some good rock and roll, some authentic ACDC covers, Come down,” said Grant Allen, who rocks Bon Scott.
“We're a must-see, and you won't be disappointed.”
The NSW-based tribute band has spent the past two decades touring the country, delivering a high-voltage performance and a passionate commitment to recreating the sound and spirit of one of Australia's greatest rock bands.
“This is our era of music that we grew up with and we want to keep that spirit alive as long as possible,” said Allen.
“It’s all about keeping a legacy alive to make sure that the younger generation enjoy it too.”
With Grant taking on the role of Bon Scott and Scotty stepping into the shoes of Brian Johnson, the band performs songs from every era of AC/DC, delivering a setlist packed with fan favourites spanning decades of rock history.
Supporting them, is Michael Ward on drums as Phil Rudd, Mike Sheehan on bass as Cliff Williams and Dylan Hartas on rhythm guitar as Cliff Williams, combining decades of experience to recreate the unmistakable sound, energy and power that made AC/DC one of the world's greatest rock bands.
Completing the lineup is Mick Pelligrini, wielding his iconic Gibson SG in tribute to AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. Dressed in the trademark school uniform and armed with a wireless guitar system, Mick roams through the crowd under the band's "Jailbreak Spotlight", delivering the solos and high-energy stage presence that made Angus Young a rock legend.
Their all-star list of world-wide gigs include headline appearances at the Snowy Bike Ride in Thredbo, performances at the Kidgeeridge Music Festival and Cops and Rodders charity fundraiser, as well as Australia Day celebrations, corporate events and countless pub and club shows. With years of experience bringing AC/DC's music to life on stage, Dirty Deeds draws the crowd wherever it performs.
Whether you're a lifelong AC/DC fan or simply looking for a lively afternoon at your favourite local pub, Dirty Deeds promises a weekend of classic rock, big riffs and plenty of energy at the Airlie Beach Hotel.
