    Bonfest
    May 2 2026

    This year marks the 20th anniversary of Bonfest, a unique rock festival which celebrates the life of AC/DC frontman Bon Scott. Taking place in the small Scottish town of Kirriemuir, where the singer spent the first six years of his life, it attracts visitors from around the world and has become a significant tourism attraction. Bonfest is run by a local youth music charity, DD8, and its profits go into developing the next generation of musicians and industry professions. Music Tourist caught up with Graham Galloway, who for many years was part of the core team.
