"Eat Cat 2 Promotions in association with Eventertainment presents: a mad weekend of partying featuring ten AC/DC tribute bands from across the world. Two bands will play on the Friday evening, five on the Saturday (all day) and three on the Sunday, until 7-00pm. After the Friday and Saturday shows there will also be an aftershow party until 2am, at which Steve �Krusher� Joule will DJ.
The main event will take place in the specially dressed venue on the Campus, where the bands will perform on a replica of AC/DC`s touring stage circa 1980, designed especially for the occasion, complete with ramps around the rear of the stage and a catwalk out front, on which all the Anguses can strut their stuff!
Headlining the event will be Dave Evans from Australia, the original AC/DC singer and founding member (pre Bon) [/b] backed up by Welsh tribute Seedy/DC. This will be Dave`s first visit to Wales in 30 years (he`s originally from Carmarthen) and he will be taking a break from a European tour to appear.
There will be two bands from America: HAYSEED DIXIE: a hillbilly tribute from Nashville and AC/Dshe: a female tribute from San Francisco. Both of these bands will be making their first UK appearances at this event. From the UK will be: AB/CD - MTV`s Highway To Fame competition winners back in the early `90`s, being voted the closest sounding band to AC/DC by the band themselves. HELLS BELLS: the Bristol based tribute, who include two cannon and a replica Hells Bell in their show, AC/DO from Burnley, DIRTY/DC from London, BACK IN BLACK from Newcastle and event hosts: SEEDY/DC. Also appearing, from Germany: HOLE FULL OF LOVE.
There will also be a large record / merchandise fair, an AC/DC photo exhibition, talks & seminars by specially invited music industry guests (�AC/DC Rarities�) plus music workshops in the recording studio (more details to follow). The whole event is hosted by celebrity Ozzfest MC - Steve �Krusher� Joule who will also be running some daft games in-between bands.. if you come dressed as a band member...you`ll be asked to join in!

The website provides details of local accommodation in Wrexham during the event. The halls of residence at the University will cater for 300, there is camping close to the event and various additional student halls, hotels and guest houses within easy reach of the venue are available. There has never been a convention for AC/DC fans on a scale as large as this before and we hope to make it an annual event with a �Worldwide Battle Of The Bands� a featured competition.
