Highway To Hell: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Circus is one of the most anticipated shows on this year’s Wynnum Fringe calendar, and with a star-studded lineup of musos, it’s sure to rock the Bay Terrace spiegeltent like nothing else!

Organisers say the show will transport audiences back to their favourite Aussie pub in 1983, “where the greatest music of all time was born, live music was raw, loud and unapologetically real, and every night felt like it meant something”.

Highway To Hell: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Circus is a full-throttle live music spectacular starring powerhouse performers Wes Carr and Mahalia Barnes, backed by an all-star band featuring Matt Smith (Thirsty Merc), Ben Rodgers (Jimmy Barnes Band), Mick Skelton (Thirsty Merc) and Andrea Krakovska (Pseudo Echo).

Produced by award-winning creative and bayside local Tom Oliver, with featured performances from world-class circus artists Katrina Louise (Vice The Show) and Melon The Human (Cirque du Soleil), expect aerial guitar, fire, hair-hang and jaw-dropping physical performance woven through a soundtrack of Australian rock anthems from AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Divinyls, INXS, The Angels and Stevie Wright.

Mahalia Barnes said Wynnum Fringe stands out for its personality, energy and unmistakably local feel.

“Wynnum Fringe is one of those festivals that I’ve heard so many people talk about, but I’ve never experienced it firsthand,” Barnes said.

“The shows have a lot of personality; it feels to me like a festival with real heart and a raw, cheeky energy. I love it when a festival has that kind of spirit.
It gives the audience and the artists a chance to share something really unique, special and unforgettable. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

The show will run from Thursday June 25 to Sunday June 28 at the Augathella Spiegeltent, located at 166 Bay Terrace, Wynnum.
