Stones, Dylan, McCartney to rock Coachella site in October
Dubbed the Desert Trip, the classic-rock concert is set for October 7-9 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio
Boomer-chella is on.
Goldenvoice announced on Tuesday that the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who will perform during a three-day concert in the Southern California desert where the annual Coachella music festival is held. This is the first time these stalwart rockers have shared a billing.
Dubbed the Desert Trip, the classic-rock concert is set for October 7-9 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Like the Coachella festival, the Desert Trip will offer on-site camping and gourmet food stands.
Two acts will perform full sets each night after sunset. First up are the Stones and Dylan on Friday; McCartney and Young play Saturday. Pink Floyd’s Waters and the Who close out the event on Sunday night.
Young’s long-time manager, Elliot Roberts, told the Los Angeles Times recently that he’s looking forward to the concert “more than any show in a long time.”
“You won’t get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again,” he said.
Tickets go on sale May 9. A three-day pass costs $399; single-day tickets will sell for $199. Reserved-seating packages are available for $699 to $1,599.
