Well almost or soon to be dead.... Pretty amazing line-up of some of the greatest rockers / rock bands of the late 60's and 70's
This once-in- a-lifetime concert will take place in Indio, California on October 7, 8 and 9 and October 14, 15 and 16 when six of the world’s most iconic and influential rock and roll artists come together for Desert Trip.
Both weekends will feature three nights of concerts, including Friday night with The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan and His Band, followed by Saturday night with Paul McCartney and Neil Young + Promise of the Real, and closing on Sunday night with Roger Waters and The Who.
With performances starting after sunset, each artist will play a full set, serving up three incomparable nights of rock ‘n roll each weekend. Located at the home of the critically acclaimed Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this is the only time and place to see this incredible lineup.
The three-day general admission passes to the Oct. 7-9 festival at the Empire Polo Club start at the same $399 price as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, promoter Goldenvoice announced Tuesday. They go up to $1,599, including seats in two sets of grandstands. In addition to the three-day passes, single-day tickets will go for $199.
Ticket prices for this event have been a huge source of speculation on social media and at Goldenvoice’s just-concluded Coachella and Stagecoach festivals. Some experts suggested the general admission three-day price could start closer to $1,000 with single-days close to $400 just to cover the costs for such a mega-rock concert.
Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett said he was originally thinking about starting ticket prices at $599, which would have been $300 less than VIP passes at Coachella, until he spoke with a colleague.
“Why are you doing this?” the colleague asked Tollett.
“You know me,” Tollett replied.
“Yeah, you want the poster. So don’t let the ticket price be the story.”
Tollett collects festival posters. He has one for each of his Coachella festivals dating back to 1999 framed and hung in a hallway of his Indio home at Eldorado Polo Club, which he purchased less than three years ago to ensure adequate space for his music events such as Coachella and now Desert Trip.
The poster of Desert Trip will feature six names that have never been on a concert bill together even though they have all performed professionally for more than 50 years each.
