They have rocked the UK – delivering the legendary sound, spirit and attitude of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Arguably Britain’s best AC/DC tribute band .The AC/DC Experience brilliantly nail the power and look of the stadium rock god’s incendiary stage performance. This widely-held view was backed up when rock legend, and ex-Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden saw the band on tour. Bernie, who wrote Whitesnake’s classic anthem Here I Go Again, said: “I caught The AC\DC Experience during their UK tour in Oxford and the gig brought back memories of one of my greatest tour experiences with the Australian rockers in 1980. “The AC\DC Experience boys captured the spirit of those great anthems I heard every night, and I believe the guitar player sweats as much as Angus! “If you love AC/DC music a night out at one of their gigs will leave you smiling!”
