Desert Trip Details Announced: Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, More to Play Coachella Venue....

 

By Radio.com Staff
It’s confirmed. Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and The Who are set to play the Empire Polo Field in Indio, CA, October 7-9. If this location sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the same venue that the Coachella Music & Arts Festival has been held for 17 years. Goldenvoice and AEG Live, producers of Coachella, are behind this massive classic rock event.
