This will never happen again, but we hope it does!
Monterey Pop, Woodstock and now Desert Trip. The upcoming 3-day mega festival that will take place in October, has just reached an incredible milestone. The festival has sold out both of its weekends, and has grossed a total of $160 million dollars so far. Obviously they won’t know the total revenue until both weekends of concerts are over but it isย currently the highest grossing festival of the year, surpassing the No. 2 grossing festival Coachella by a long shot.

The festival is scheduled to take place in just over 2 months from now at the Empireย Polo Clubย in Indio, CA, the same site thatย Coachella is hosted at. The first weekend will be Oct. 7-9, with weekendย two being Oct. 14-16. The concert, which sold out all passes within a few hours of release, features six legendary artists/bands. Friday will featureย The Rolling Stonesย andย Bob Dylan, Saturday will be headlined byย Neil Youngย andย Paul McCartney, with the festival finishing on Sunday’ย with aย finale ofย The Whoย andย Roger Waters. Fans have humorously dubbed the festival “Old-chella,” but everyone knows these rock artists will bring it everything they’ve got when they hit the stage in October.
Down below is the poster and video for the upcoming once-in-a-lifetime event!
