Desert Trip, the California festival that debuted last year and featured full sets from The Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Roger Waters, won't be returning this year. In fact, it may not be coming back ever again.
Organizer Paul Talbott told Billboard, "We're not doing Desert Trip this year. We loved 2016 Desert Trip – that was a special moment in time. Maybe someday in the future we'll do something similar."
The news disappoints classic rock fans, but especially those who love Led Zeppelin. Rumours were swirling that the band would reunite for the festival, fueled by a message singer Robert Plant posted on his website that read, "Any time now." It seems that was just referring to an upcoming musical release.
The 2016 Desert Trip made $160 million and brought in 150,000 concertgoers who paid $400 to $1,600 per ticket.
