There will not be a second Desert Trip this year.
Paul Tollett, the festival's promoter, tells Billboard, "We loved 2016 Desert Trip -- that was a special moment in time. Maybe someday in the future we'll do something similar."
The festival, held over two weekends last October in Indio, California, featured Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Roger Waters and Neil Young.
So for now, that puts to rest the rumors that Led Zeppelin was going to be this year's star attraction.
I wonder... Was Desert Trip's fate sealed after Eagles' manager Irving Azoff countered with Classic West and Classic East this July with the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers and Earth, Wind & Fire?
And... Can such a festival be staged with some other classic rock acts along the lines of Bob Seger, Steve Miller, John Mellencamp, Aerosmith, The Moody Blues, KISS and Tom Petty?
