  • Location / Leicester, England
  • Venue / De Montfort Hall @ University Of Leicester

The first show by the band in this city since September.

The first time at this venue.

The venue is located to the South East of the city centre and within the grounds of the University Of Leicester and not far from the city's main train station and the King Power football stadium home to Leicester City F.C..

It was opened in 1913.

Most of the adverts and posters for the tour printed the venue name incorrectly as 'De Montford Hall'.

The last night of the shows with AC/DC and of 1979 before the band would go on to record the 'On Through The Night' album.
