Over 100,000 people turned a 10K stretch of Perth Australia's Canning Highway into a partying, "Highway To Hell," on Sunday March 1st. The only traffic allowed was 8 flat bed trucks carrying bands playing AC/DC songs to mark the 40th anniversary of lead singer Bon Scott being buried in nearby Fremantle Cemetary.

Musicians came from all over the world to play. Finnish bluegrass outfit Steve 'n' Seagulls, Japanese rock trio Shonen Knife, Amyl and The Sniffers, The Pigram Brothers, The WA Police Pipe Band and The Perth Symphony Orchestra were just some of the performers singing their own version of AC/DC songs in tribute to the man guitarist Angus Young said, "was a full-on frontman, plus he had this great character, you know. I mean, he just lived that rock 'n' roll life. With Bon, what you saw was what you got, and, yeah, it was pretty, pretty tough."

Check out the festivities! Let There Be Rock!
