Roger Daltrey confirms The Who for huge festival with The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and more

Roger Daltrey has seemingly made The Who the first name to be officially confirmed for a mega festival being put together by the organisers of Coachella.

If all goes to plan, rock titans such as Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Neil Young and Roger Waters will be on the bill, which is reportedly planned for Indio, California between October 7th-9th.

“I think it’s us and Roger Waters on the same day,” Daltrey has told Postmedia Network. “It’s a fantastic idea for a festival. It’s the greatest remains of our era.”

The event’s existence first emerged last week at a time when Neil Young’s manager Elliot Roberts told the LA Times:

“I hope a lot of normal fans can get tickets before they get snatched up. It’s so special in so many ways. You won’t get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again. It’s a show I look forward to more than any show in a long time.”
