AC/DC made their long-awaited live return with a rapturously-received headline set at Power Trip festival in Indio, California on Saturday night (7th October).

Taking to the vast Power Trip stage after Judas Priest, who had earlier announced their 19th studio album ‘Invincible Shield’, Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams, Stevie Young and stand-in drummer Matt Laug tore through a 24-song set.

Opening with seminal classics ‘If You Want Blood (You've Got It)’ and ‘Back in Black’, the set featured the live debuts of two tracks from their 2020 album ‘Power Up’, ‘Demon Fire’ and ‘Shot in the Dark.’

AC/DC also played ‘Riff Raff’, a song they revived for their shows with Axl Rose in 2016, however they haven’t performed it live with Brian Johnson before.

After tearing through ‘Highway To Hell’, ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’ and ‘Let There Be Rock’, AC/DC returned for a scintillating encore of ‘TNT’ and closer ‘For Those About To Rock (We Salute You).’

AC/DC fans will be hoping that their performance at Power Trip festival will pave the way for more tour dates from the rock legends.
