It took place between October 6th and 8th Empire Polo Clubin Indio, California, the highly anticipated festival Power Trip, which brought together some of the giants of rock and roll and heavy metal. And one of the most anticipated shows of the festival, which took place on Saturday (07), was the ACDC, who hasn’t been on stage since 2016.

On this occasion, Johnson, who turned 76 last week, explained that despite the deterioration of hearing in both ears, especially the left one, he will not retire from music as he has been given permission by his doctor to continue recording in the studio . But some time later he was released Johnsonwhich was replaced in the remaining shows of the same year “Rock or Bust World Tour” by none other than Axl Rosefrom Armas e Rosas. The other, the bass player Cliff Williams, who also left the band in 2016 and stated in an interview that he was retiring from his artistic career. On September 30, 2020 the ACDC announced the duo’s return and on November 13th of the same year the band released their new studio album, Turn on.
