Helsinki - Rock groups will play the music of hardrock legends AC/DC for 15 hours nonstop on a Finnish stage for charity, organizers said on Tuesday.
Leningrad Cowboys, Ismo Alanko as well as Freud, Marx, Engels and Jung, among others, will play songs from 13 of AC/DC's 14 albums on February 18 in the Atria club in Oulu, western Finland.
The one exception is the album Fly on the Wall which was judged, perhaps uncharitably, as too awful to be included in the event, which starts at 10:00 and will last well into the night.
"No band has accepted to perform Fly on the wall. I have to say it is the worst album of AC/DC. It really sucks," said concert organiser Pertti Havas.
The proceeds from the hardrock marathon will go to the Finnish association for mental health, Havas said.
