Before their performance at California’s Power Trip, AC/DC announced that veteran drummer Matt Laug will join them. Laug, with a rich history of playing for Alice Cooper, Slash’s Snakepit, and Alanis Morissette, will be behind the drums.
The inaugural Power Trip is scheduled from October 6 to 8 at Indio’s Empire Polo Grounds. A spectacular lineup featuring Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Tool, Guns N’ Roses, and initially Ozzy Osbourne awaits. However, on July 11, news broke that Judas Priest would replace Ozzy. Power Trip is an event by Goldenvoice, the organizers behind renowned festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach.
For those attending, a variety of camping choices are offered, ranging from Car & Tent Camping to exclusive lodge/tent accommodations and RV spots. All campers can access amenities and activities. There are also hotel bundles: Pair your Power Trip tickets with local hotel stays and shuttle passes. Exclusive deals, starting at $3,199 + fees, are available through Valley Music Travel.
To mark the occasion, fans can pre-book a Power Trip Special Poster. This exquisite giclee print poster, crafted by artist J. Bannon in a limited run of 1,000, comes in 18×24 size on premium textured paper. However, a ticket purchase is required to secure this poster.
In other AC/DC news, their seventeenth album, “Power Up,” was launched in 2020, dominating the Billboard 200 and various global charts. The band welcomed Stevie Young, the nephew of Angus and Malcolm Young, as the rhythm guitarist after Malcolm’s departure in 2017. It’s noteworthy that AC/DC hasn’t been on tour since their 2016 Rock or Bust journey.
