AC/DC to make 'fancy dress return' at Reading Festival

Dress up as Angus and you could win a once in a lifetime trip to see the band

AC/DC are kicking off their comeback at Reading Festival (August 22-24) by offering fans a unique chance to see a one-off dress rehearsal from the band in the US.

However to qualify fans must dress up as the band's guitarist Angus Young.

Two giant billboards are being erected at the Reading site which fans in fancy dress must have their photo taken in front of. The snaps should be uploaded to Acdcrocks.com/uk.

The best "Angus" will win a two-person trip to the US to see the band perform the exclusive gig.

AC/DC will release a new album rumoured to be called 'Black Ice' - their first since 2000's 'Stiff Upper Lip' - later this year.
