The legendary vocalist Bon Scott of AC/DC would have turned 80 years old in 2026. Although he has been gone for over four decades, his legacy continues to thrive.
The annual Bon Scott Birthday Bash will take place once again in the New York City area at the Cutting Room on Thursday, July 9, featuring an all-star band with numerous guests, including Corey Glover from Living Colour and former Guns N’ Roses drummer Frank Ferrer.
In addition to live music, fans will enjoy tributes to the iconic frontman and view rare photos, including a special gallery showcasing shots that have never been seen before, from photographer Steve Joester. There will also be a poster signing before the show. Tickets are available from the official Bon Scott website.
Ultimate Classic Rock and Loudwire are collaborating to celebrate this significant milestone for Scott with prize pack giveaways. Each winner will receive a copy of AC/DC’s classic album Highway to Hell on vinyl, an official event shirt and poster, a Bon Scott 80th pin and patch, and a Crest Belt Buckle.
Winners will also be eligible for exciting grand prizes including a Bon Scott denim vest, a Bon Scott 80 Copa football jersey, and a Bon Scott III Knucklebonz Statue, which is handcrafted in honor of Bon’s 80th birthday and limited to 3000 pieces.
