Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC to headline PowerTrip concert at Empire Polo Club

LA Times  

The lineup for October’s PowerTrip metal festival just got twice as heavy. Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC and Tool will join the previously rumored Metallica, Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne for the inaugural edition of the festival from Coachella promoter Goldenvoice. Like its classic-rock forebearer Desert Trip, the concert will bring two acts per night to Indio’s Empire Polo Club, on the weekend of Oct. 6-8. The lineup will pair Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden on Friday, AC/DC and Osbourne on Saturday and Tool and Metallica on Sunday. Former Coachella headliners Guns N’ Roses last performed in L.A. in 2021, while AC/DC headlined Dodger Stadium in 2015.
