Not all of the event's attractions have been confirmed yet

According to The Pulse Of Radio, AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young will be honored with a benefit event in Australia in February.

The event will take place at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on February 17th, the day the band released their debut album, High Voltage, in 1975.

All proceeds will go to the Dementia Foundation to raise awareness of the disease the musician suffered from for so many years.

Some special guests have already been confirmed, including the cover band Whole Lotta Rosie, Jimmy Barnes, Suzi Quatro, and Powderfinger. More acts will be confirmed closer to the event.

Malcolm died at the age of 64 on November 18, 2017, in Elizabeth Bay, Sydney, Australia. Check out photos and videos from his funeral.
