The band will be playing all the Bon Scott classic hits as a tribute to the greatest front man of Australian rock, as well as a classic set of Brian Johnson greats.

The band is returning to Rockingham after performing in front of more than 20,000 people at the foreshore on New Year’s Eve.

It has performed nearly 50 shows since it was formed in 2015.

“We’ll also be playing some classic songs from the Brian Johnson era such as You Shook Me All Night Long, Thunderstruck and Back in Black,” he said.

Gohrt said special stage effects, including full concert sound and lighting, will be a feature of the Rockingham gig.

In July, Livewire will perform alongside former AC/DC and Angels band members on a national tour starting at the Astor Theatre in Perth.

The band will then head to Sydney as special guests for the “Bon But Not Forgotten” national tour to celebrate Bon Scott’s birthday.
