This will be over 2 weekends in October……October 7 – 9 and October 14-16 with rock legends The Who, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Neil Young and Roger Waters at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California.
The man who dreamed up the festival, Coachella founder Paul Tollett recently revealed “It’s not really a festival — it’s a concert, two bands a day. I just thought those six bands should play together. It’s never been done.”
