Miss going to live concerts? Yeah, so do I.
With live concerts on hiatus due to the coronavirus outbreak, we’re getting our concert fix here by looking back at some of the great shows that came to Connecticut.
Today’s featured concert:
AC/DC
Ballbreaker World Tour
Friday August 2, 1996
Meadows Music Theatre – Hartford (now The XFINITY Theatre)
About The Tour:AC/DC hit the road in support of Ballbreaker, the band’s first studio album since 1990’s The Razors Edge. The tour kicked off in Greensboro, NC on January 12, 1996 and concluded in New Zealand in November 1996. The show in Hartford was AC/DC’s second show on the second leg of the 1996 North American Tour. This would also be AC/DC’s only performance at The Meadows and its last ever show in Connecticut.
