They're playing the Olympic stadium in your neck of the woods also. You should go? Get your credit card out, drink your Pimms, eat your prawn sandwich as it is a rock or bust.

GnRMisterE Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Does anyone have any ideas about stage times yet? I've never been to a gig at the Etihad - would it be feasible to get my last train back from Picadilly at about 23:15? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, Axl is rock royalty in his own right. A tardy time keeper, but rock royalty all the same... And yet, the decision for the Guns N’ Roses man to join the Aussie classic rock stalwarts due to Johnson’s urgent medical advice to quit or go deaf hasn’t been without controversy - least of all between Johnson and the rest of the band, who seem to have differing views on the permanence of the switch. In a statement issued earlier this year that whiffed of the end of an era, they said: "AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures." Johnson joined the band in 1980, filling some pretty big boots himself following the death of iconic singer Bon Scott. Thirty-five years and eight line ups later, with their new recruit installed, AC/DC’s story rolls on and they resume their Rock Or Bust World Tour. Who are AC/DC? Vocals: Axl Rose (possibly seated with a broken foot - the recovery continues) Lead guitar: Angus Young (founder member, since 1973) Bass: Cliff Williams (joined in 1977, appeared on everything since Powerage) Rhythm guitar: Stevie Young (replacing his retired uncle and founding brother Malcolm Young, toured with the band back in 1988 while Malcolm was in rehab) Drums: Chris Slade (there’s a bust up story there involving Phil Rudd, too, but that’s for another time) What setlist will they play? In 2016, they’re marking year 43 in music. In anyone’s book, that’s an outstanding achievement, but it's just one remarkable number on their CV. Rock Or Bust is their 14th album, and they’re also the band who wrote Back In Black - the biggest selling band album of all time, and second only for LP units shifted by an artist to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Yes, it’s that iconic. AP Photo/Armando Franca Here's a slightly distressing picture of Axl Rose with his broken foot, and here's the anticipated setlist: Rock Or Bust Shoot To Thrill Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be Back In Black Got Some Rock & Roll Thunder Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Rock ‘n’ Roll Damnation Thunderstruck High Voltage Rock ‘n’ Roll Train Hells Bells Given the Dog a Bone Sin City You Shook Me All Night Long Shot Down in Flames Have a Drink on Me T.N.T. Whole Lotta Rosie Let There Be Rock ENCORE Highway to Hell Riff Raff For Those About to Rock When are they on stage? Katarina Benzova / acdc.com The AC/DC Rock Or Bust tour hits Bern, Germany Stage times and the support act are still to be confirmed, but provisional times are: Gates: 5pm Support: 7pm AC/DC: 8.15pm Curfew: 11pm How do I get there? The Etihad Stadium is the home of Manchester City Football Club and based in east Manchester. It's well linked via public transport but also has plenty of parking (getting in and out of the car parks before and after events can take time, so allow plenty of it). Take a Metrolink tram to the Etihad Campus stop, on the Ashton Under Lyne line, which passes through Market Street, Piccadilly Gardens and Piccadilly Railway Station. You'll be there in under 10 mins - the stadium is just across the tracks from the stop. Plenty of buses go along that route - services 231 and 216 will drop you right outside. You can plan your journey here for the bus. You can also walk there following the City Link signs - start at Piccadilly railway station, it'll take about 20-25 minutes.

The stadium is about 2 miles from Picadilly station and with traffic and the crowds I think you'd struggle to get back in time if the gig finished any later than 10pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Filthy Cow is a great place. Burgers are delicious. I'm working nights on Wednesday so I'm not sure what time I'll make it into Manchester though. If I'm early enough I'll pop along for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangit Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Anyone have anymore info on stage times? What time did they go on & finish in London? My train departs Piccadilly at 11:50pm (and i'm fucked if i miss it!) How far is the stadium from piccadilly? Is it a nightmare getting the metrolink after a gig? I'd rather walk if it is. Advice appreciated! Never been to the Etihad before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advice appreciated! Never been to the Etihad before. The stadium is pretty much a mile and a half exactly from Picadilly. I used to live less than 200 yards from Picadilly and it would take me about 30 minutes to walk it. Taxis might be a struggle and the Metrolink can get very busy but it will pretty much take you door to door. Personally I'd say walk to the Metrolink stop just next to the Asda superstore and see how busy it is. If it's packed then don't even bother trying for taxis and just walk it. If you get out of the stadium by 11pm you'll make it in plenty of time. Edited June 5, 2016 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
