Bon Scott Film Star Rob Liotti To Hit The Concert Stage After Labor Day 2013

The American actor who is slated to star as Bon Scott in the upcoming docudrama entitled, Bon Scott - The Legend of AC/DC is planning to hit the live stage sometime after the upcoming Labor Day 2013 holiday in Charleston, South Carolina, USA.

Plans have been put in motion to reunite the original line-up of T.N.T. , the band that put the singer on the map for AC/DC fans back in 2004 and that led to the actor's role in the film project. It has been speculated that the chosen venue will likely be a beach club called, The Windjammer. While the venue is not Charleston's largest, it has been an extremely popular spot for bands from Hootie and The Blowfish to Big Head Todd and countless others.

Slated to perform with Liotti are: Chris Barrineau as Angus Young, David Dunning as Malcolm Young, Ben Polk as Cliff Williams, and Jeff Mangan as Phil Rudd.

"This is a powerhouse line-up of well-known musicians. They have not performed together since 2007, so Charleston and fans who make the trek to the venue are in for a treat..." said a source close to the band.

Asked about the line-up, Rob Liotti commented, "It is great to see this put together, and I am looking forward to hitting the stage with these guys. These guys are all pro players and know how to get it done. We will definitely give fans a night to remember."

The source added, "The venue could change, but I think they are looking at The Windjammer because they used to pack it out and so many people saw them there. I mean, Jason Aldean and his band (including Rob's friend and pedal steel player Jay Jackson) saw fit to show up and do a set there recently, so it is a great spot."

Most recently, producers of the upcoming film have been in talks with one of the world's largest entertainment and production companies and news of the film and awareness of its star have sky-rocketed worldwide. Moreover, Hollywood producer, Micheal Meltzer, recently joined director J.R. Getches and business affairs advisor, Rhett Klok, on the High Voltage Productions team.

Meltzer said recently, "I am highly encouraged by our recent talks with a leading production company about this film."

A concert date should be set in the near future for the upcoming reunion show.
