    For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)

Seven years have whisked by since that night in Philadelphia, marking the end of one of AC/DC's most challenging and tumultuous tours. A journey sprinkled with twists and tough choices... AXL Rose, the "Problem Child" of Rock n'Roll, stood by his idol Angus Young to conclude the final dates of a tour embarked without Malcolm (RIP) and Phil Rudd, and which along the way, also lost Brian Johnson due to his hearing issues...

A lot of time has drifted since that Philly night, and those who were there recall the mixed feelings enveloped throughout that concert and following the last cannon shots of FTATR. After, Phil and Brian, Cliff was also officially out of the band. Was it really the end of AC/DC? That night we thought so... And this petrified us... We couldn't even post the final blog review of the show...

For seven patient years we waited, until the "miraculous" return of Brian in the new album Power UP and that of Phil Rudd... We navigated through a pandemic and problems and uncertainties but here we are again... AC/DC is returning at POWER TRIP and AC/DC Abruzzo will be there!

We were in Philly in 2016 and we will be in Indio in 2023. The year 2023 holds a special place in our hearts, marking the 20th anniversary of the memorable AC/DC gig at London’s Hammersmith in 2003, the concert that changed our life.... 

As we cruise down the highway, the horizon seems to echo with the promise of rhythm, reunion with old tour friends, and the indomitable spirit of rock that binds us all. The adventure has just begun, and we're bubbling with the hope that the Powertrip festival will herald a new chapter of live music for AC/DC, perhaps a world tour? Starting in Italy, maybe? 

In any case, the time has come to reopen the AC/DC Abruzzo blog.
