Essendon Football Club is celebrating reaching the 50,000 membership milestone in 2011 by throwing a special member party at Etihad Stadium this Saturday night.

There will be a number of activities before Saturday game for our members and fans, but the highlight of the pre-game festivities is sure to be the AC/DC Bon Scott narrative concert outside Gate 5 at 6.20pm.

Don’t miss out on Nick Barker and the 6-piece band as they pay tribute to AC/DC and their iconic front man Bon Scott. They will be performing songs from the upcoming ‘Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be – The Story of Bon Scott’ production which has a two-week residency at the Anthenaeum Theatre starting July 12.

Aussie rock legend Doug Parkinson will also help tell part of the Bon Scott story, and along with MC Brian Nankervis from RockWiz, Saturday night outside Gate 5 is sure to be pumping, setting the scene for an epic Essendon and Geelong encounter.

We look forward to seeing a massive crowd outside Gate 5 at 6.20pm.

Get to the game early, meet your family and friends at the footy and enjoy a tribute to Australia’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band.
