The first of the two Milanese evenings of the Black Ice Tour of AC/DCAccording to many it was the Australian band's best show in our country, two hours of pure rock, two hours of energy, sweat and fun.
The Forum is already packed at 8 p.m., when the The AnswerA young Irish band with a Seventies matrix, who succeeded in the not easy task of entertaining an audience eagerly awaiting their favourites: a great performance with excellent songs, the same ones that earned them compliments from rock giants such as Jimmy Page and the Young brothers.

Five tracks from the latest album are included among timeless classics, from Back in Black a Dirty Deeds... until Thunderstruck.

Finale with Highway to Hell e For Those about to Rock (We salute you).
