AC/DC lead vocalist Brian Johnson joined fellow English singer Sam Fender onstage at Newcastle, England’s St. James’ Park on June 10 to sing two AC/DC classics during Fender’s concert there.
In Johnson’s first onstage appearance of 2023, they performed Back in Black‘s title track as well as “You Shook Me All Night Long.”
Johnson and Fender share a geographic kinship, as Classic Rock noted — they both hail from the “Geordie” area of England in the Tyneside region. “We cannot really do AC/DC songs without the one, the only Geordie legend, the singer of AC/DC, Brian Johnson!” Fender said before bringing the AC/DC icon out onstage.
The June 10 Sam Fender show was his second of two nights at Newcastle United’s 50,000-capacity home stadium. Accompanying him and Johnson on the AC/DC songs was Fender’s early guitar instructor, a musician named Phil Martin.
For fans wishing to see AC/DC live, the Australian classic rock act will perform at Indio, California’s new Power Trip festival this October. It’s their only tour date of 2023 so far.
