LUCY DURÁN WHERE WHERE would we be without AC/ DC? Their libidinous bar-room blues might seem – at the very least – anachronistic in 2024, but the thirst for their primal boogie remains unquenchable: 2020’s Power Up debuted at No 1 in 21 countries.
The touring lineup for their latest stadium jaunt may boast only the indefatigable Angus – 68 years, erm, Young – from the lineup for their first-ever gig at Sydney’s Chequers nightclub on December 31, 1973, but 200 million album sales later, their gonzo appeal is if anything stronger than ever – a red-blooded, twofingered raspberry in the face of an unblinking AI.
