"Imaginative" impresarios in Finland have organized the first AC/DC Marathon, to be held on February 28, in which AC/DC's discography will be played in full, in order, for an event that is expected to last a whopping 17 hours. The lineup so far includes LENINGRAD COWBOYS, QUINTESSENCE, EMMI, ISMO ALANKO AND FREUD, MARX, ENGELS and JUNG. and LIVE WIRE. The charity concert, which will benefit the Finnish Association for Mental Health, promises "surprise performers and impressive pyrotechnics." And, hopefully, a surfeit of schoolboy uniforms.
