Ac/dc Cut Short Oslo Gig After Plane Trouble
By WENNMonday, May 31, 2010
Heavy rockers AC/DC only just made it to a concert in Oslo, Norway on Sunday night (30May10) after plane trouble almost left them grounded in Berlin, Germany.
The band was due to fly in from Berlin, Germany for a gig at the city’s Valle Hovin venue, but they faced a race against time when their jet suffered a mysterious “malfunction”.
Kristin Svendsen, a representative for promoters Live Nation Norway, says, “AC/DC’s plane had a malfunction in Berlin, and it took some time to charter another plane.”
The stars finally hit the stage in Oslo at 9.45pm (local time), but were forced to cut the show short to avoid violating Norway’s strict 11pm curfew regulations.
Frontman Brian Johnson apologised to fans after performing hit single Highway To Hell, telling the crowd, “We have to stop now because of the curfew.”
