AC/DC Perth tonight: set times, tickets, transport and Amyl and The Sniffers’ role at Optus Stadium (Mon, Dec 8)
AC/DC Perth tonight

Perth gets one last thunderclap tonight as AC/DC return to Optus Stadium for the tour’s second and final WA date. After a roaring opener late last week, demand and word-of-mouth pushed fresh waves of fans to chase any remaining tickets. With gates opening in the late afternoon and support acts primed to hit hard, those heading to Burswood should plan their run early: the concourses get busy, the trains get packed, and the opener is absolutely worth catching.

AC/DC Perth set times (subject to change)

What Time (local, AWST)
Gates open 5:00 pm
First support (The Southern River Band) 6:10 pm
Amyl and The Sniffers 7:00 pm
AC/DC 8:30 pm

Expect the usual tight turnovers between bands; this show is run with military precision. If you’re on the plaza at 6:05 pm, you’ll miss the first riff.

Amyl and The Sniffers in Perth: why you should be in your seat by seven

The Melbourne punks passed the big-room stress test on night one—concise set, no filler, all bite. In a stadium context their strengths are amplified: serrated riffs, pummeling drums, and Amy Taylor’s unbroken sprint from barricade to catwalk. If you came for legacy power chords, you’ll hear their modern, high-voltage cousin at 7:00 pm sharp. Expect a compressed 30–35 minutes that flies by.

Last-minute AC/DC Perth tickets: what’s left and where to look

A limited number of seats and single tickets were released for tonight’s finale in recent days. If you still need entry, check the official ticketing platform and the venue’s event page for any final glimmers: late production holds, isolated singles, and obstructed-view seats sometimes appear on show day. Avoid third-party markups; official channels also list the latest entry rules and accessibility notes.

Tip: If you only find odd singles, search the next price band or try splitting your group across adjacent rows in the same bay. Many fans successfully piece together seats within the same section an hour or two before doors.

Getting to Optus Stadium: trains, timing and exit plans

  • Public transport included: Your event ticket covers travel on local services for three hours either side of the show. Keep your ticket handy for inspectors.

  • Pre-show frequency: Stadium Station services step up from late afternoon; aim to arrive by 5:30–6:00 pm to clear bag checks before the 6:10 pm downbeat.

  • Post-show crush: The final cannon sends everyone to the platforms at once. If you’re not rushing, grab water and wait 15–20 minutes for a calmer exit.

  • Rideshare/taxi: Expect geofenced pick-up zones and patience-testing queues. Set your meet point away from the heaviest foot traffic if mobility allows.

What to bring (and what to leave at home)

  • Essentials: Phone wallet (fully charged), earplugs, light layer for the sea breeze, and comfortable shoes with tread.

  • Bags: Small and compliant with venue size rules; bigger bags slow screening lines.

  • Cashless ready: Merch and many outlets are card-first; tap to pay is fastest.

  • Prohibited items: Save time by checking the venue list—oversized signs, professional cameras, umbrellas and external seating are typically not allowed.

Likely flow and setlist flavor

Night one in Perth ran right on schedule, with AC/DC taking the stage around 8:30 pm and delivering a career-spanning set that blended the new tour’s namesake era with indestructible classics. The sequencing is tight, pyro and cannons punctuate the back half, and the band’s 70–100 minute window doesn’t leave much slack. If you’re hoping to beat the encore crowd, start inching toward the aisles as the penultimate anthem kicks in—just don’t miss the signature closer.

Quick game plan for tonight

  1. Aim for 5:45 pm arrival to clear security and catch the 6:10 pm opener.

  2. Be in your seat by 6:55 pm for Amyl and The Sniffers.

  3. Hydrate early, merch early: lines peak between 7:40–8:20 pm.

  4. Screenshot tickets in case reception hiccups.

  5. Pick an exit strategy now—train if you want speed, rideshare only if you can wait.

Perth, this is the last swing. Whether you’re here for the legends or the blitzing support, tonight at Optus Stadium delivers wall-to-wall volume—and a reminder that stadium rock still moves like a freight train when the schedule, the sound, and the crowd lock in.
