Metallica are one of the acts scheduled for this upcoming weekend's Power Trip festival in Indio, California, and drummer Lars Urlich talked about the event in a new interview with Los Angels Times. An excerpt from the chat follows...

LA Times: Metallica has played many festivals over the years. What makes Power Trip special?

Lars Ulrich: I went to [Indio’s] Desert Trip in ‘16 with the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Neil Young and the rest of that incredible lineup. It was so cool, because it was different than other festivals. My wife and I have been going to Glastonbury [in England] every year. We’ve been to Coachella many times, and to Lollapalooza. But Desert Trip was just the headliners on one stage. It’s a great site, with a lot of music history. Subsequently, there was some chatter about doing a hard rock version; the offer finally came in six or nine months ago. As a fan of hard rock, I’m going to be there the whole weekend and see every band."

LA Times: Some of the bands on the bill started years before Metallica and provided you some inspiration. Is there anything you’re especially looking forward to?

Ulrich: "We love all five of the other bands. I saw AC/DC back in Copenhagen in 1977 for the first time; we did a whole tour with them in Europe in 1991. I fell in love with Guns N’ Roses five seconds after I heard 'Mr. Brownstone' for the first time before the [1987 debut] album came out. We played shows with Iron Maiden in the ’80s. We played shows with Judas Priest. We played shows with Tool all over the place. Obviously, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest were huge influences. Those three bands are a significant part of the reason that we wanted to be in a band. So to get everybody together in the same space is a bit awe-inspiring."
