The festival sarcastically known as "Oldchella" has added a second weekend—apparently the Rolling Stones felt they hadn't played enough concerts lately.Desert Trip has announced that a second weekend has been added—October 14 - 16—and tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m., Monday morning. Get your tickets here.
The Desert Trip lineup features all of your parents' favorite bands and, frankly, is probably a better lineup than Coachella: The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and The Who.
