AC/DC (and other bands) played at Astroworld

Saw Sugar Ray there in 2002(?)

 

It was actually a pretty cool place to see a concert. I saw the Cure (Head On The Wall Tour), Depeche Mode and Thompson Twins to name a few. During the Cure concert they through the "head" into the audience. The next day me and a bunch of friends went to Jamaica beach and there was the head on top of some guys car. It seemed like one big party back then. Good memories.

I think if you had a season pass you could get into the concerts for 5 bucks (in the 80's).

 

This x1,000! I felt up so many middle school girls there (full disclosure: I was in middle school at the time).

 

I saw Run DMC there in 85.

 

New Order checking in.

 

My first "real" concert was DC Talk at the Southern Star during one of Astroworld's patented Youth Group Days. A couple of years later I saw Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, who played to a pretty tiny crowd. I hated both of those bands, but it was a great venue. Lots of great Astroworld memories. I will never forgive Six Flags for trying to stave off bankruptcy by demolishing the place.

 

I saw a KISS tribute band there as a kid.

 

yes, but for the beauty of Wynona.

 

I remember very well. Good times.

 

I know Petra. I was there.

 

I saw Simple Minds and Ted Nugent (actually I was working as security/an usher). I understand REM played their as well.
