Rock and Roll On into Freo for the Highway to Hell After Party

This Sunday 1 March, Perth Festival brings you Highway to Hell: a celebration of the legendary Bon Scott through music, food, activities and—of course— rock ‘n’ roll. This long weekend event is sure to be a non-stop celebration, with over 100,000 people expected to experience history as Canning Highway gets taken over with Aussie musicians giving their salute to Bon Scott on a moving stage. 

Stuck for things to do after Highway to Hell winds down? We’ve got you covered on where to go around Freo to keep the party going all night long.

Located at the Front Garden, The Little Lord Street Band and the Western Australia Police Pipe Band will start your night. Entry is free, with wood fired pizzas and drinks available at the bar. Don’t forget your picnic blanket!
