A 39-year-old AC/DC fan is undergoing surgery after being glassed to the neck in a fight outside the band's final Australian rock concert at Subiaco Oval last night.
The Thornlie man and his mates could not afford concert tickets and so parked their van outside the Irish Club on Townshend Road, cranked the band's tunes and started drinking, police said.
Just before 1am, another group, who knew the men, approached and a fight broke out.
The 39-year-old fell to the ground during the fracas and was stabbed to the neck with what police believe was a broken bottle.
The man's friends grabbed him and drove him to Sir Charles Hospital but he was later transferred to Royal Perth Hospital for surgery.
His injuries were described as serious.
The eight men believed to be involved in the fight were still to be questioned by police.
The legendary Aussie rock band returned to the home of original frontman Bon Scott to play two concerts, one on Saturday and the second last night, to finish their mammoth Australian tour.
The concerts saw an army of almost 100,000 black-clad fans descend on Subiaco, but up until last night there were no reports of violence.
Police said there were notably a lot less families at Monday night's concert, which drew 46,000 fans.
Consequently there were increased incidents of street drinking and "a significant number" of small volatile groups were ejected from the concert for disorderly behaviour, police said.
