INDIO, CA- Just minutes before tickets were set to go on sale Monday for what's sure to be the concert experience of a lifetime, Goldenvoice announced a second planned installment of 'Desert Trip.'

The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, The Who and former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters are among the confirmed performers for not one, but now two, weekends in October.

"Due to overwhelming demand, a second weekend has been added to Desert Trip, Friday, October 14, Saturday, October 15 and Sunday October 16," organizers said Monday morning.

The first weekend is scheduled for Oct. 7-9 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio-- the same venue where the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals are annually held.

Though the pricing plans are similar to the recent Coachella and Stagecoach festivals, Desert Trip won't be all-day affairs. Instead, the Polo Grounds will open each day at 2 p.m. Set times will be released at a later date, and there will be no opening acts.

The following is an announcement just made by the promoters of Desert Trip:

Due to overwhelming demand, a second weekend has been added to Desert Trip, Friday, October 14 – Sunday October 16. Six of the world’s most iconic and influential rock and roll artists will come together for a second weekend in Indio, CA.

As with the previous weekend, on Friday night October 14 the concert event will feature The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan and His Band, followed on Saturday night, October 15 by Paul McCartney and Neil Young + Promise of the Real, with the weekend coming to a close on Sunday night, October 16with 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. 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.
