On this episode, we present a firsthand account of the highly anticipated POWER TRIP festival that took place in Indio, CA on the weekend of 06-08 Oct, 2023. 

Metal Mayhem ROC friend & contributor, Mike Dadura (a native of Philadelphia, PA), who was in attendance for the 3-day event, brings to us an in-depth & revealing recap of the full weekend. POWERTRIP featured Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden (Friday, October 6), AC/DC and Judas Priest (Saturday, October 7) and Metallica and Tool (Sunday, October 8).

Mike shares all of the details, including everything from flying from the east coast to California, his accommodations, ride sharing mishaps, concession pricing and excessive logistic hurdles. As he put it, it was a VERY expensive weekend, but one for the ages & worth every Penny! In addition, we get the scoop on the venue setup & the challenges of maneuvering through an area that contained 200,000 plus attendees. But most importantly, we hear all about the bands & the performances themselves, with Mike illustrating the highlights & lowlights of each of the bands based on what he saw & heard. And coming off of the concert stage, we hear about many of our Metal heroes hanging around to watch & support one another from the perspective of being a fan, and we get the low-down on the makeshift AC/DC bar that was a focal point for the weekend in a nearby town.

Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.
