Are you in Melbourne for AC/DC’s massive shows at the MCG starting tonight? You might want to head into the CBD and check out the High Voltage upgrades at AC/DC Lane.

The City of Melbourne unveiled the changes on social media this afternoon (12 November), spotlighting a new, light-up installation at the entrance to AC/DC Lane to celebrate the iconic rockers’ long-awaited return to the city.

Celebrations of rock will continue at Federation Square from 4:30 pm today, when bagpipers from across the state head to the city for The Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash in an attempt to break the world record of the largest-ever bagpipe ensemble.

Hundreds of pipers—veterans and newbies alike are invited to participate in the ambitious attempt—will belt out the AC/DC classic, It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll), the legendary music video filmed around the corner on Swanston Street nearly 50 years ago.

Check out the AC/DC Lane makeover below.

In addition to today’s celebrations, Fed Square, City of Melbourne, and Double J have teamed up to host a free gig headlined by Amyl And The Sniffers, which will take place this Friday (14 November). For the show, entitled High Voltage, the Melbourne rockers will be accompanied by special guests Public Figures.

AC/DC begin their highly anticipated POWER UP Australian tour at the MCG tonight – head to Ticketek to secure last-minute tickets.

“Nearly 50 years ago, AC/DC turned Swanston Street into their stage – igniting a bolt of rock ’n’ roll energy that still reverberates through Melbourne today,” said the Head of Tourism and Events portfolio Councillor, Mark Scott.

“Now, we’re thunderstruck once again – celebrating a defining moment that helped cement Melbourne as Australia’s music capital.”

Katrina Sedgwick, Director & CEO of MAP Co, added: “Fed Square has quickly become the state’s home of massive free gigs and High Voltage will be no exception, with Amyl and The Sniffers bringing their high-octane energy and raw punk sound to the city. Thousands of Aussie rock fans – young and old – are expected to fill the Square for the celebrations, starting with today’s Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash.”
