The Highway to Hell convoy will close Perth’s arts festival – and its roads – with semi-trailers topped by bands blasting Ackadacka songs
It may be a celebration of a uniquely Western
Australian cult figure, but Highway To Hell – the Perth International Arts Festival’s closing gambit for 2020, which will see 10km of Perth’s Canning Highway closed this Sunday for a moving AC/DC covers concert – has attracted interest from bands all over the world.
“You can’t find anyone in the world, let alone Australia, who doesn’t know what AC/DC means,” says organiser Pete Stone of the event, which will feature eight slow-moving trucks topped with bands including Amyl and the Sniffers, Odette Mercy and Pigram Brothers. End of Fashion, Mojo Juju and the Jam Tarts will be playing at stages set up in along the way.
