Event: Chris Hill's Dirty DC - 8pm - There are tribute bands… and then there are experiences so authentic they blur the line between homage and the real thing. Chris Hill Dirty DC Band sits firmly in the latter category—rapidly establishing itself as one of the most electrifying AC/DC tribute acts in the UK, and for good reason. Fronted by Chris Hill as Brian Johnson, the band channels the unmistakable rasp and power that defined classics like Back in Black, one of the best-selling albums of all time with over 50 million copies sold worldwide. Johnson’s voice became synonymous with AC/DC’s global domination in the 1980s, and Hill’s performance mirrors that intensity with remarkable precision—decades of dedication evident in every note.
