High Voltage
Inspired by Perth Festival 2020’s smash hit Highway to Hell, High Voltage is taking to the streets of Fremantle this Sunday from 1pm to 6pm! Seven flatbed trucks become live music stages on the move making their way around a 5km street circuit with bands doing their take on AC/DC classics, as well as music, entertainment and fun across Fremantle Oval, Esplanade Reserve and Wilson Park.

To give you a taste of what you can expect you’ll be able to catch Freo’s own Badpiper performing Thunderstruck pre-game in-stadium! Then head down for the Ultimate Sunday in Freo with your family and catch him at Fremantle Oval. Visit highvoltagewa.com.au for all the event details.
