Get your season ticket for a one-way ride when Canning Highway is transformed into the world's longest stage for Highway To Hell.
Highway To Hell is the free, family-friendly finale to the 2020 Perth Festival, turning 10km of open highway into a rocking celebration of Perth's connection to late, great AC/DC frontman Bon Scott.
Highway To Hell is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy an afternoon and evening of live performances and other free activities between the Canning and Fremantle traffic bridges.
Diverse local and international acts will perform AC/DC songs from stages on the back of semi-trailers in a slow 'hit parade' from Applecross to Fremantle, starting at 5pm and ending at 8.30pm. Artists range from Finnish bluegrass band Steve ’n’ Seagulls and Japanese female rock trio Shonen Knife to the WA Police Pipe Band, Amyl & The Sniffers, Perth Symphony Orchestra and The Pigram Brothers.

People are invited to walk the route with the trucks, set up a picnic anywhere along the highway or gather at one of four special activity and entertainment areas: the Canning Bridge Zone in Applecross, the Tompkins Park Zone in Alfred Cove, the Valley Zone in Palmyra and the Rainbow Zone in East Fremantle and Fremantle.
Highway To Hell marks 40 years since the death of the WA-raised rock legend, who grew up around Fremantle and went to gigs along Canning Highway as a youth. Scott died in London on 19 February 1980, and his ashes were laid to rest at Fremantle Cemetery on 1 March.
