The event is due to touch down Oct. 6-8 at Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif., the longtime home of Coachella and Stagecoach. Its name is a nod to the one-off 2016 festival on the same grounds, Desert Trip, which featured the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and the Who.

AC/DC has not performed live since Sept. 20, 2016, although the legendary outfit released a new album, Power Up, in 2020. Power Trip would also be Osbourne’s first major concert appearance since Dec. 31, 2018, with the artist hinting in an early February social media post that he was likely to retire from touring due to ongoing health problems

Metallica previously played Empire Polo Field in 2011 as part of the Big 4 extravaganza with Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer.
