Rock or Bust, 2015/16

AC/DC started the Rock or Bust tour in May 2015 in Europe, before heading to Australia and North America later in the year. Production manager Dale ‘Opie’ Skjerseth chose Mojo again.

Having used Mojo on many previous tours we all know their system, so our own crew can assemble it without the need for a Mojo supervisor to come on tour.

With more than 1.7 million tickets sold in Europe alone and every venue sold out, the production took its responsibility for the audience, band, crew and equipment very seriously.

Following the stage contours

Mojo project manager Stanley Jilesen worked with Opie on the front-of-stage configuration. It followed the contours of the stage and spanned the width of the stadium pitches. Further touring barriers surrounded the two front-of-house mixing positions.

Extra lines from local promoters

At all the European stadium shows, the local promoters brought in additional Mojo Barriers as secondary barriers.

Most venues in Europe are hiring in additional secondary barrier to allow for effective control of the crowd on the pitch with a secondary line and barriers around pa delay towers.
