Okay, not quite as big as it was on stage at the Black Ice World Tour, but with attention to detail based on the large original: model railway manufacturer Märklin is bringing the collector's highlight for AC/DC and model railway fans in H0 gauge onto the market!

The AC/DC-licensed Rock’n’Roll Train will be presented to the world public at INTERMODELLBAU, the world’s largest trade fair for model building and model sports from April 10 to 13 in Dortmund. By the way, it won't just be a "horned" locomotive - there will also be several AC/DC-style wagons (all also available separately) - you can look forward to the design!

We are already sending a big thank you to Göppingen: Märklin will provide us with a set of this fine edition as one of the main prizes for the raffle at the International AC/DC Fan Meeting in Celle'25!

Fan meeting tickets (weekend and day tickets) are available in the CD-Kaserne shop:

In addition to well-known international tribute bands and a varied AC/DC supporting program, there is a very special treat this year: With Simon Wright, fans can welcome a former AC/DC band member this year. Wright was drummer for AC/DC in the 1980s.

Three bands, two days, one passion - that is the motto again this year when the global AC/DC fan crowd makes the pilgrimage to Celle and celebrates their favorite band on Friday, September 19th and Saturday, September 20th.

When the fans have gathered at the CD-Kaserne on Friday evening, the Musikzug Groß Hehlen will once again traditionally open the meeting with brass music - they will definitely have an AC/DC piece in their repertoire again in 2025.

AC/DC UK will unleash a storm of sound from over 50 years of AC/DC band history live in the hall on Friday evening. The Brits were guests at the International AC/DC Fan Meeting in 2017 and will be putting on the full AC/DC show program with cannons, a hell bell and an oversized "Rosie".

LIVE WIRE from the USA were there two years ago at the fan meeting premiere in Celle with enthusiasm that was noticeably spilling over into the audience. This year they are celebrating their proud 25th anniversary as a band - an ideal reason to bring the likeable group from overseas back to Celle to shake up the hall on the fan meeting Saturday.

BON THE AC/DC SHOW from Berlin have also been on stage for an impressive twenty years and in 2025 they are "old hands" with their fourth appearance at the International AC/DC Fan Meeting. BON THE AC/DC SHOW will present an explosive mix of hits and rarities from AC/DC's Bon Scott era from 1974 to 1980 at the end of the live program on Saturday.

Special guest Simon Wright, ex-AC/DC band member and drummer between 1983 and 1989, will of course give this year's fan meeting a very special touch: When do you ever have a "real AC/DC" as a guest? He will sit down at the drums for a few songs on both Friday evening at AC/DC UK and on Saturday at LIVE WIRE.
Simon played the drums on the three albums "Fly On The Wall", "Who Made Who" and "Blow Up Your Video". After his time with AC/DC, he was responsible for the real "oomph" on the drums for UFO and Dio, among others.
On Saturday afternoon, Simon will be available for photos and autographs.

The big AC/DC collectors' fair will also take place then - there will also be a tombola, AC/DC live body painting with Gesine Marwedel and tattoo artist K-Rina from Celle will be present on both days of the fan meeting and will impress fans with their love for the band.

Aftershock Merchandising will be there again on both days and will have a large selection of AC/DC merchandising items on offer. Pre-ordered fan meeting T-shirts can be picked up there.

Tickets can be purchased via the CD-Kaserne online shop at Reservix (weekend ticket: 45.00 euros, Friday: 24.00 euros, Saturday: 32.00 euros).

We were able to secure a special guest for you for this year's International AC/DC Fan Meeting! Welcome Simon Wright!

Simon has a permanent place in the AC/DC band's history between 1983 and 1989: He played drums on the three albums "Fly On The Wall", "Who Made Who" and "Blow Up Your Video" and during this time, together with Malcolm (later Stevie), formed the rhythm foundation for the numerous live concerts around the globe.

So it's almost perfect that Simon is coming to the fan meeting this year, when the album "Fly On The Wall" is celebrating its 40th birthday - his debut on drums with AC/DC! Of  course, Simon will not miss the opportunity to sit down at the drums on the Friday of the fan meeting at AC/DC UK and on Saturday at Live Wire from the USA and play some songs from his time with AC/DC for the fan community: In 2025, fans can also look forward to an absolute "treat" of having a "real AC/DC" in the program! On the Saturday of the fan meeting, guests of the fan meeting will have the opportunity to meet Simon for autographs and photos.

Tickets (weekend and day tickets) are available in the CD-Kaserne shop:
https://cd-kaserne.reservix.de/tickets-internationales-acdc-fantreffen-2025-in-celle-in-celle-cd-kaserne-ggmbh-am-19-9-2025/e2323053

...and that should now explain why the ticket, the fan meeting poster and the T-shirt motif have not been seen yet: Everything is already being prepared, but of course should only be seen when all the names that will be on it are known - and it goes without saying that Simon will also be mentioned on it alongside the bands.

So: stay tuned - as soon as shirts can be pre-ordered, it will be published via the AC/DC fan meeting online channels.
