Review
With 3 main stages close by to where all the action was, was a brilliant idea by the organises and was well thought out. The bands on the back of the trucks stopped every so often to give audience members time to enjoy their takes of ACDC classics with each truck playing different genres and styles. Having been a cold day there was an exceptional number of people in the crowds and with plenty of things to see and do. The local businesses were also bustling from everyone who came into Fremantle spending money at their businesses especially coming of the back of COVID. It was great to see this event back and can’t wait for the event next year from me it was a great day out and supporting our local music scene which is much needed given all the losses from COVID having to cancel shows, we have expressed interest in doing more filming for next year’s event.
Comparing this event to the 2020 highway to hell, I must say this year’s event was very well thought out and planned extremley well. To all the organisers, volunteers, bands, truck drivers, support crew police, security and to those who we have missed a massive job well done.
