Live Wire calls itself “the closest thing to AC/DC live, period” — and the band has spent 26 years earning that description. On Saturday, March 13, that show comes to Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania: a full-stage tribute to the AC/DC catalog, all-ages, with an 8:00 p.m. showtime.
About the Show
The Live Wire billing is “America’s Most Authentic AC/DC Tribute Experience,” and they hold a credential that separates them from every other tribute act claiming the territory: they are the only AC/DC tribute band in the world to be featured on AC/DC’s official website and official Facebook page. That distinction points to something real in what the band does on stage.
Their stated approach is to capture “the pure essence, power, and electricity” of what an AC/DC live show delivers. The production includes high-voltage visual imagery, Hells Bell props, and the kind of sustained crowd engagement that defined AC/DC’s reputation as a live band. The catalog spans the full career, from AC/DC’s early Australian club-era recordings through their current material.
No support acts are listed for March 13. This is a return visit for Live Wire at Penn’s Peak; they played this same venue in May 2026, and the band’s touring schedule shows they work consistently at this level, with dates across U.S. theaters, casinos, and major festivals alongside international dates in the United Kingdom.
Venue & Logistics
Penn’s Peak holds 1,800, a room scaled to let a production like this operate at full strength while staying close enough to the stage that the show lands the way the band intends. The venue is at 325 Maury Road in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. Roadies, the on-site full-service restaurant and bar, offers a spacious dance floor and concert concession area. Plan to arrive before the 7:00 p.m. doors if you want to eat before showtime. Penn’s Peak is a regular draw for Hudson Valley audiences and makes for a worthwhile road trip from the region.
