JUDAS PRIEST will join AC/DC on the Saturday night line-up of the inaugural Power Trip festival set to take place in October at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.

The Metal Gods have stepped in following Ozzy Osborne's withdrawal from the event, which he announced yesterday (July 10).

 
Set to take place on October 6-8, the event promises to bring together 'six iconic bands that define loud and powerful music', with the amended line-up now reading: GUNS N’ ROSES and IRON MAIDEN (Friday, October 6), AC/DC and JUDAS PRIEST (Saturday, October 7) and METALLICA and TOOL (Sunday, October 8).
 
PRIEST have released a statement, written entirely in capital letters, expressing their delight at being added to the bill.

They say: “POWER TRIPPERS ARE YOU READY FOR SOME JUDAS PRIEST STYLE HEAVY METAL! WE ARE EXCITED AND READY TO RAISE DOUBLE HORNS WAY UP HIGH TOGETHER. KEEPING THE METAL FAITH AT THIS BOSTIN ONE OF A KIND POWER TRIP WORLD EVENT!”
 
Ozzy Osbourne revealed yesterday that he was reluctant dropping off the bill for health reasons, but promised that "personal friends of mine" would step into the breach.
