Promoters Announce Classic Rock Boomer-Chella
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Boomer-chella is on.
Goldenvoice announced 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 longtime 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.
