3 nights, 6 bands, October 7-9 in Indio, CA.

Two bands will play each night and do a full set each. Not the usual festival with several different stages and music all day and night, this is a single stage event.

First night: Rolling Stones & Bob Dylan

Second night: Paul McCartney & Neil Young

Third night: Roger Waters & The Who

$399 3-day general admission all the way to $1500 reserved seating.

Wife was going to surprise me with tickets, but we're in the middle of dropping some serious cash into a kitchen reno and spending a few thou on a frivolous trip like that would not be fun for me. Besides, I've seen 5 of the 6 acts who will be performing.

I went to coachella this year already which is one of the main reasons I won't go. Will be sick though and the weather will be nice.

I think Golden Voice chose to do this as a way to phase classic rock headlining acts out. Every year they bring a big name classic rock act to headline and they end up getting way less of a crowd than any DJ or pop act.

Who was it this year? I don't recall any "classic rock" bands on this year's lineup. GnR is certainly not considered a classic rock band if that's who you were referring to. 

And they're doing it because the demographic for Desert Trip is 2 generations removed from those who attend Coachella and they will make as much from ticket sales for these 6 bands as they did for the 50 or so at the Coach.

Guns and roses is a classic rock band, turn on any classic rock station - you'll here guns and roses. 

Coachella tries to bring in classic rock bands to headline recently but fail to get as many viewers as any of the DJ headliners, which is why you're starting to see DJ's and rappers headline.

this will definitely make GV a lot of money, but definitely not as much as coachella. People literally go to coachella just to go to coachella, and it covers almost every age group. Popular music > old popular music.

I don't listen to terrestrial radio. And by almost any definition of classic rock you'll see the genre is pre-1980-85

GnR didn't even sign their Geffen record deal until 1986.

You can call them whatever genre you want, but when GV books ACDC and GNR back to back years and their crowds are outnumbered by DJ's and rappers, you get this "Old-chella".

Paul Tollett: "Damn we gotta stop booking these old bands during coachella, just look at the numbers! Okay, I got it. Lets just make a giant ass festival with the 6 bands we were going to use eventually for headlining acts and charge the same price. Brilliant!"

It's amusing when someone with a point of reference somewhere in the 90's tries to explain history to someone who lived it. 

To each his own.

When a song is over 5 mins some people fall apart to look into their phone for  the 80k time.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
