AC/DC Lane will be transformed into a shrine chronicling the history of the world's favourite hard-rock band just in time for their arrival next week.
Fans are expected to descend on the city lane, which runs off Flinders Lane, as the Australian leg of AC/DC's Black Ice world tour kicks off in Melbourne on Thursday.
Letters penned by the band's original front man Bon Scott to his wife Irene will also be on display for the first time at Cherry Bar.
Cherry Bar co-owner James Young said AC/DC photos and posters would cover the walls of the lane.
"We plan to bring AC/DC to life through AC/DC-inspired art and music," he said. "It will be a one-off experience unique to Melbourne, the rock capital of the world."
Artist Ben Couzens said fans will see the history of AC/DC portrayed through photos and album covers.
"It starts with photos of the original singer Dave Evans at the bottom of the alleyway, then as you walk up the alley it includes all band members, album covers, images of Bon Scott's grave and more.
"It's my tribute the the greatest band in the world."
AC/DC Lane was officially named in 2004 to honour the band's link to Melbourne, where they lived and wrote their first two albums.
The band will play at Etihad Stadium on Thursday, Saturday and Monday.
