Rock It is an Australian music festival held at the Arena Joondalup in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. The festival was first held in 1999, and mainly features modern rock music. Along with the nationally-touring Big Day Out, Rock It was one of the major rock concerts held regularly in Perth.
At the March 2009 event Western Australian Police trialled the use of drug amnesty bins for the first time at a rock concert.[1] The police restrictions resulted in long queues on entry and due to their public visibility little use by concert goers.[2][3]
