Indio, California, is currently the epicenter of rock ‘n’ roll as the Power Trip Festival unfolds over the weekend. The festival, which commenced on October 6 with electrifying performances by Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden, is set to continue with AC/DC and Judas Priest headlining on October 7, followed by the grand finale featuring Metallica and Tool on October 8.
While there’s undoubtedly a lot happening within the festival grounds, fans can also immerse themselves in the rock spirit at the temporary AC/DC pop-up bar located at 82971 Bliss Ave. Offering a unique opportunity to unwind and raise a glass (or maybe several), the bar adds an extra dimension to the festival experience. Local news outlet KESQ News Channel 3 had the privilege of taking a closer look at this distinctive location and its tempting libations, which you can explore below.
As for whether AC/DC will take inspiration from their own lyrics and “Have a Drink On Me” with their fans at the bar, the odds might be slim. After all, libations at such venues typically come at a cost.
AC/DC’s performance at the Power Trip Festival is a highly anticipated event, marking their first live show since 2016. Notably, this performance introduces the band’s new live drummer, Matt Laug. The status of AC/DC’s regular drummer, Phil Rudd, remains uncertain, as he temporarily rejoined the band in 2020 for their latest album, “Power Up.” Rudd had previously parted ways with AC/DC in 2015 due to legal issues, but he did make a comeback after serving eight months of house arrest in New Zealand. During his absence, former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade had filled the drumming role.
