“But it’s just long tours he won’t do anymore.”
On the other hand, AC/DC’s performance would be their first live show since 2016. It would also mark the band’s first concert since Malcolm Young’s passing in 2017.
The official lineup of Power Trip will be revealed on March 30. According to reports, the festival will take place on Oct. 6 to 8 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., most popularly known as the home of Coachella.
