To think, this huge event which brought over 150,000 West Australians to line the streets of Canning Highway. Happened merely a few weeks away from widespread pandemonium is baffling, and oh so lucky.
On March 1st 2020, to celebrate the life of the late ACDC lead singer, Bon Scott. As well as the 40th anniversary of his passing. Closing Perth Festival 2020, Highway to Hell saw 8 local, interstate and international bands performing a literally moving tribute to the band. Starting in Canning Bridge and ending in East Fremantle. The event saw 10km's of road transformed into the worlds longest festival stage, with artists donned on the back of large moving trucks playing 2 songs over and over again for 3 hours ahahha. It didn't cease to get old though. It was such a fun event! I went specifically to see Amyl and the Sniffers, but acts like Shonen Knife, Dom Mariani with the Tommyhawks, and Odette Mercy with Mathas were so stellar. Each of course performing their own interpretations of some of ACDC's most iconic songs.
