It may be the biggest North American rock festival ever

UPDATED: July 11, 2023

The stacked lineup for the all-new festival Power Trip is here. Earlier this week, headliners Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, AC/DC,  Tool , and  Guns N’ Roses all teased the festival on their official social media. Now, the full lineup is officially confirmed for what may very well be the biggest hard rock festival ever in North America.

On Monday, July 10, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he would no longer be performing at Power Trip. On Tuesday, July 11, it was announced that British metal icons Judas Priest would be stepping in for Ozzy. Priest will now play opposite AC/DC on Saturday, October 7.

Check out the full lineup artwork below.

After announcing his  retirement from touring  back in February, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne has recently expressed his desire to still perform at some capacity in the future. Commercially, Ozzy is enjoying the fruits of his widely successful album  Patient No. 9 . He won two GRAMMY® Awards at the 65th annual event in Los Angeles last month. He took home the hardware for Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Album. It marked the metal legend’s first solo GRAMMY® win since 1994 when he won Best Metal Performance for “I Don’t Wanna Change the World ( Live & Loud ).

“I’m one lucky motherfucker to have won the Best Rock Album Grammy,” the now a five-time GRAMMY® Award winner exclaimed. “I was blessed to work with some of the greatest musicians in the world and Andrew Watt as my producer on this album. Winning the Best Metal Performance was equally gratifying being that the song featured my longtime friend and Black Sabbath bandmate, Tony Iommi.”

Metallica’s upcoming eleventh studio LP  72 Seasons  arrives on April 14 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track  72 Seasons  is Metallica’s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s  Hardwired…To Self-Destruct . The album will be released in formats including 2LP 140-gram black vinyl and limited edition variants, CD and digital download.

Additionally, Metallica are  returning to the road  this summer. The band previously announced their M72 Word Tour which will see the band perform back-to-back nights at each stop with no repeat performances. In each city, special guests on Night One will be Pantera and Mammoth WVH. Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills will serve as support on Night 2. Tickets are on sale now  HERE . 

Iron Maiden brought their Legacy of the Beast Tour back to North American last year for another massive run. The band’s latest album  Senjutsu  arrived in 2021. The album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock and Top Hard Rock Albums charts.

In 2020, AC/DC released their seventeenth studio album  Power Up . The record peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and topped the charts in several other countries around the world. Once again, Angus and Malcolm Young’s nephew Stevie Young, who took over rhythm guitar duties for Malcolm after his passing in 2017. AC/DC have not toured since their Rock or Bust trek wrapped up in 2016.

Tool have a number of festival appearances slated for 2022, including a headlining slot at Aftershock. Last summer, they released their GRAMMY®-Award winning fifth album  Fear Inoculum  as a new black vinyl set via RCA Records. The 3-disc 180 gram set on black vinyl features new artwork by guitarist Adam Jones. It comes in a triple gatefold jacket and an exclusive 12″ x 36″ double-sided poster. Last March, Tool released a re-imagined version of “Opiate,” the title track from their first EP. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their first commercially-available release, the band re-worked and extended the song –  “Opiate 2 “  – with an accompanying short film.

Guns N’ Roses are embarking on a massive world tour this summer. The North American leg runs through October 16m making stops in Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Charlotte, Vancouver, and more. The band is also returning to Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania for the first U.S. show of the tour. They previously kicked off their We’re F’N Back! Tour there back in 2021. Revisit our review and live photos from the show  HERE .

Last year, Guns N’ Roses came out with a a new EP  Hard Skool . The record was released nearly a year ago on February 25, 2022. It was the first time in 28 years that vocalist Axl Rose, guitarist Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan collaborated together on new material together.

The trio was accompanied on the new studio effort by the current members of the GNR lineup, which is completed by guitarist Richard Fortus and drummer Frank Ferrer, as well as keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese. The EP featured live recordings of the band’s ‘91 power ballad “Don’t Cry” and “You’re Crazy” from their seminal debut LP  Appetite For Destruction .

Released back in August of 2021, the single “Absurd “ was the first new Guns N’ Roses song in 13 years.

Fresh off their  50th anniversary celebrations , Judas Priest are reportedly working on music for the follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 album  Firepower . The record is the band’s biggest commercial success, charting at No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart and Billboard 200 as well as hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart. After delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Judas Priest toured relentlessly to celebrate the success of Firepower and the band’s five decades of heavy metal.

Power Trip Festival: What to Expect at Rock’s Biggest Weekend

After months of anticipation, the Power Trip festival has arrived.

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, six of the biggest names in rock and heavy metal will descend upon the California desert. The lineup is formidable, with Guns N’ Roses , AC/DC , Metallica , Iron Maiden , Judas Priest and Tool taking the stage. Unlike other festivals, which usually see artists playing abridged performances, each act will deliver a headlining-length set of material.

Adding to the intrigue, many of these artists have history with one another. Could Axl Rose jump onstage with AC/DC, whom he memorably fronted in 2016? How about a collaboration between Guns N’ Roses and Metallica, who famously toured together in 1992?

Power Trip will be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. Music fans know this best as the annual site of Coachella. The location also hosts country music’s Stagecoach festival and was the site of the famous Desert Trip event in 2016 (which featured Paul McCartney , the Rolling Stones , Bob Dylan and more).

Here’s what to expect from each band on the Power Trip lineup (in order of performance).

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden gets things started with a set at 6:45PM on Friday night. They have been trekking all over the world as part of their Future Past tour, but Power Trip marks the band's first show on U.S. soil in 2023. Maiden last played in America on Oct. 27, 2022, the final stop of their Legacy of the Beast tour.

Frontman Bruce Dickinson has hinted that they may have something new to announce once their Power Trip commitment is complete. "Something else will happen. I can't tell you what. But you'll be happy,” Dickinson cryptically noted in a video message to fans.

Guns N’ Roses

Rose, Slash , Duff McKagan and Guns N' Roses will return to the desert for night one of the festival. The trio originally got back together in 2016 at this location, headlining two weekends of Coachella. Things have gone so well since then that Guns N' Roses has remained on the road, performing over 200 shows since announcing their reunion.

With renewed civility has come new material. Guns N' Roses released the songs " Absurd ," " Hard Skool " and " Perhaps ." These were demos that the band revisited with fresh ears and their reinvigorated lineup. Guns N' Roses have been mixing this new material into their set lists, so it'll be interesting what they have in store for the Power Trip spotlight.

Judas Priest

Count Judas Priest bassist Ian Hill  among those who are excited about Power Trip's six-headliner setup. “I think it’s a good concept because everyone’s excited to see six bands on three different days,” Hill told The Press Enterprise . “It would be difficult with bands of this stature. You couldn’t get them all on one bill or in one day anyway. There wouldn’t be enough time and there wouldn’t be enough room for egos, probably, on who would top the bill.”

With a new album reportedly in the works, Judas Priest may have some unheard material in their arsenal when they take the stage on Saturday. The band was a late addition to the lineup after Ozzy Osbourne withdrew because of ongoing health issues . “It is a great thing to get asked to be a part of,” Hill admitted. “We’re sorry Ozzy couldn’t do it. He’s not in the best place at the moment. But I know Ozzy; he’s built like a tank. He’ll be back at it one time or another.”

No artist on the Power Trip lineup has had a longer layoff than AC/DC. This set will be their first performance since Sept. 20, 2016. A lot of things have happened in the seven years since then, most notably the death of rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young . His replacement, nephew  Stevie Young , will be on hand at Power Trip. Drummer Matt Laug is also taking over for Phil Rudd . Power Trip will mark AC/DC’s first gig since the release of their 2020 LP Power Up , suggesting that several songs may see their live debut on the night.

Saturday will also prove to be something of a reunion: AC/DC takes the stage after Judas Priest, and the two bands previously toured together in the early ‘80s. “We had a great time with them back then, but it was the ’80s, a great time was had by all in the ’80s,” Hill added. “We’d go out on the days off in the evenings and we’d travel a bit on their bus occasionally. I’m looking forward to seeing them again.”

The young guns on the Power Trip bill are in Tool , even though they’ve been around for more than 30 years. Frontman Maynard James Keenan admitted it was humbling to see his band on a lineup with these rock legends. "It's overwhelming to be put in the same list with those people,” he recently confessed . “All you can really do is not worry about it — just kind of do what you do and try to do it the best you can so that you don't look like a clown next to these superstars."

Bassist Justin Chancellor further revealed that the band is very aware of who is playing after them on Sunday night, and will adjust their set list accordingly. “We’ll try to accommodate the Metallica fans a little bit,” Chancellor told The Press Enterprise . “They’ll be like ‘Ugh, come on, get off! Metallica!’ We’re considering that a little bit because we don’t want to drag them down our wormhole too deeply.”

Lars Ulrich was in the crowd for Desert Trip in 2016 and noticed how different it felt from other festivals. “Desert Trip was just the headliners on one stage,” he told the Los Angeles Times . “It’s a great site, with a lot of music history. Subsequently, there was some chatter about doing a hard rock version; the offer finally came in six or nine months ago. As a fan of hard rock, I’m going to be there the whole weekend and see every band.” Metallica will have the honor of closing the three-night event.

The band has been traveling across the globe for their M72 world tour, but Power Trip will offer a different experience. The M72 gigs have found Metallica playing two shows with different set lists in each city, whereas this festival will be a one-and-done affair. Even though Metallica has the closing slot, Ulrich admitted he can’t help but admire the other acts on the bill. “Obviously, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were huge influences,” he said. “Those three bands are a significant part of the reason that we wanted to be in a band. So to get everybody together in the same space is a bit awe-inspiring.”

Metallica, AC/DC, Judas Priest Rule at All-Metal ‘Power Trip’ Festival: Concert Review

“This is a celebration!” proclaimed Metallica’s James Hetfield midway through the band’s set at the first-ever all-metal “Power Trip” festival . His comment was actually an understatement: While major metal festivals have been staged for decades, this one placed six of the world’s most legendary heavy metal and hard rock bands in history on one stage at the Polo Grounds in Indio, Calif. — home of Coachella festival and, of course, “Desert Trip,” the similarly billed 2016 classic-rock super-festival that featured Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Roger Waters, Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

If you’re thinking the crowd consisted largely of aging Beavis’ and Buttheads, you’re not wrong: One very awesome official tee shirt featured that duo headbanging on site, and the “newest” group in the lineup, Tool, released their first EP 31 years ago. And though many metalheads’ dreams of collaborations and reunions with past band members didn’t come to fruition, the fest was a testament to what nearly all of these long-running acts do best: hard-rocking classics and stage shows filled with various forms of over-the-toppedness, and with two acts playing per day to allow for proper headlining sets.

Worse, Guns N’ Roses, who have essentially been on one long tour since three key members reunited in 2016, played an over-long three-hour set that would have been much stronger if it was tighter. And while lead guitarist Slash has never sounded better, the same can’t be said for singer Axl Rose, whose vocals were inconsistent, perhaps due to the dry desert air.

Thankfully, rock valhalla arrived on day 2: Judas Priest and AC/DC were undeniable highlights of the weekend, with the former relentlessly blasting through hits like “A Touch Of Evil” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming” with full confidence and a sound-mix that showed off 72-year old singer Rob Halford’s near-operatic range, which he somehow delivered in a series of leather outfits despite the 90-degree-plus heat. Founding guitarist Glenn Tipton, who is suffering from Parkinsons’ Disease, joined the band for their encore, a family-minded move that was clearly relished by the band and their fans.

The nearly sold-out crowd was swelling with flashing red devil horns by the time AC/DC took the stage for their first show since 2016, reuniting with singer Brian Johnson (who took a leave of absence that year for hearing related problems) and slammed the field with a 24-song set that included nearly every song a fan could hope for: “Back in Black,” “Dirty Deeds,” “Hell’s Bells,” “For Those About To Rock,” “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “High Voltage,” “Highway to Hell,” and many more, delivering a great reminder that they’re among the most influential rock bands of all time.

The final day was an ode to two different brands of intensity, with Tool — an outlier in the lineup, as they’re more associated with the ‘90s alt-rock movement than classic metal — playing a preposterously loud, overly ambitious set of their proggy, moody ear-blasts amid surreal psychedelic videos depicting skeletons, body parts, and shape-shifting aliens. Sadly, they do a disservice to fans further back by not allowing close-ups of them playing to appear on the video screens, leaving the audience to wonder whether all of those drum sounds come from superhuman skin-pounder Danny Carey (spoiler from the front: they do).

Power Trip was billed as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see all these high-level heavy bands at once, and though there were some squandered opportunities to make the sets themselves stand out from what each of these bands does night after night on tour, devil horns were raised, countless beers were consumed, and ears were blown: a success by any suitable metric.

Chronicles of a Car Enthusiast

Hot Rod Power Tour 2023 Announced

The last few weeks have been filled with rumors, inside information, and speculation. That has all come to an end, now that the Hot Rod Power Tour dates and venues have been announced. This is the 29th Power Tour and the 75th Anniversary of Hot Rod Magazine.

The Power Tour will pick up where it left off last year. On June 12, 2023 the first venue will be Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Georgia. This is a great track for enthusiasts and this year, you can purchase tickets to take cruise laps on the oval.

The next stop on the tour is the South Carolina State Fairgrounds in Columbia, South Carolina. This will probably be a good day to get merch and check out vendors. At most, there may be autocross and/or the mobile dyno activity wise.

Stop number three is Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina. The Rock first opened in 1965 and has a rich racing history. The track was mostly vacant for 14 years before reopening in 2018 as a Speedway and Entertainment Complex.

The fourth stop is zMax Dragway (Charlotte Motor Speedway) in Concord, North Carolina. This venue is a Power Tour favorite. We started there in 2019, and it was perfect for motorsports. The four lane drag strip and oval track are awesome!

The final stop on the 2023 Power Tour is Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. A legendary race track and Power Tour fan favorite. We also visited this track during the 2019 HRPT.

All in all, I am excited about the venues for 2023. They all seem large enough to accommodate a group the size of the Hot Rod Power Tour. They’re all setup for crowds and parking for groups much larger than what Power Tour draws. Yes, it’s the South in June. Yes, it will probably be hot. Plan accordingly!

Richmond county, nc.

You may know us from our rich racing history that begins with The Rock, but we are much more than that. We are a community of natural riches, with pristine forests, unspoiled rivers, and fertile farmland. We are the perfect entrance to North Carolina's Central Park, and the perfect escape for people who want to experience the great outdoors. Our preserved prehistoric Indian mound and woodlands are untouched since the days of discovery. A culture of family farms is alive and well in the numerous farms, peach orchards, and the vineyard. Richmond County is a very different place from a more traditional time, where we respect the lands and waters and the friends and families we call neighbors. From the railroad history in Hamlet to the fruit stands in Ellerbe and Norman, from the game lands around Hoffman to the historic courthouse town of Rockingham, Richmond County provides an authentic experience of true southern charm. 

Outdoor Adventures

Find your Getaway from the everyday. Children from all over the region flock to Discovery Place Kids to laugh and learn. Sportsmen retreat here to hunt the lush longleaf pine woodlands of the Sandhills, get a unique wing-shooting experience at a nationally known hunting plantation, or even compete in field trials and sporting clays. Adventures come to our scenic rivers and roads for canoeing, hiking, running and biking experiences that are second to none.
