Live/Wire Return In 2026

Live/Wire: The AC/DC Show return to Arlington Arts Centre on Friday 04 September 2026.

AC/DC, arguably the greatest rock band of all time, are brought to life by Live/Wire with the true passion you would expect from professional musicians who share your love of this legendary live act. They deliver a critically acclaimed High Voltage two hour rock ’n’ roll set with not only cannons and a full bank of Marshall amps but a journey that takes fans from one of the best-selling albums of all time ‘Back in Black’ through to the 2020 release ‘PWR UP’, with a healthy dose of the classics from the Bon Scott era.

With over 20 years of touring under their belt, Live/Wire put the audience right in the middle of a live experience comparable to that only AC/DC themselves produce. We invite AC/DC fans to join us, sing with us and relive some of those classic AC/DC concerts of the past on our very own Highway to Hell.

After a sold-out show on his last visit, acclaimed Newbury singer-songwriter Joe Hicks returns to Arlington Arts to celebrate the release of his new album Before It Gets Dark.

Blending intricate guitar composition and soaring falsetto with classic pop song-craft, Hicks released his first solo single at the start of 2017 following a soul searching writing trip to a secluded Cornish Airbnb garage with no internet or phone signal. Since then, Joe has steadily built an online following (+5 million Spotify Streams) and toured the UK and Europe, including appearances at CarFest, the Big Feastival, Are You Listening? Festival, Pub in the Park, over 30 Sofar Sounds shows and slots supporting Sam Fender, Seafret, James Walsh and Starsailor.

Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut album The Best I Could Do at the Time in 2022, Joe’s music received airplay on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Introducing, being named the latter’s ‘Artist of the Week’, while gaining press support from CLASH Magazine, Manchester Evening News and Blues Matters Magazine among many other titles.
