FORBES OCT 17, 2016 @ 12:44 PM How Desert Trip Made History INDIO, CA -‐ OCTOBER 16 By now music fans around the globe are familiar with the story behind how the massive Desert Trip fesPval came to be. Goldenvoice President Paul TolleS had a vision to bring together six of the biggest acts in the history of rock for a once (or as it turned out twice) in a lifePme musical event. So TolleS began traveling around meePng with all of the arPsts – the Rolling Stones, the Who, Roger Waters, Paul McCartney and Neil Young, it was reported TolleS didn’t personally meet with Bob Dylan – to recruit them to fulfill his wildly ambiPous dream. On the final night of weekend two, bringing to a close six nights of music history, even Who guitarist Pete Townshend commented from the stage that it could have been a “good idea or a crazy idea.”
One thing for sure is it was a lucraPve idea. In a July interview with the New York Times TolleS said Desert Trip had already grossed a staggering $160 million. And that figure surely will rise. TolleS also described Desert Trip as more of a concert than a fesPval in that same interview, but neither is truly accurate. TolleS and his crew created a utopian paradise for music fans of all ages where money became no object. As of yesterday the $75 large concert posters and several other merchandise items were sold out; the $180 culinary experience sold out, most of the craf cocktails in the custom-‐built Cabin were out by 5:30, 45 minutes before the show began. Fans could be seen leaving the merchandise stands with three or four of the $40 shirts or mulPple of the $70 hoodie sweatshirts. Why was money no object? Two reasons: the first being if you were there you had already decided the history of the event was worth the money and the second being TolleS and his crew brilliantly created a funcPoning world that was about so much more than the music. Of course the six acts brought people in, but by the Pme the first band took the stage every night between 6:00 and 6:30 tens of thousands of fans had already experienced a great day of food, drink, the photography exhibit with lines out the door every day, the Ferris wheel and more. Desert Trip was so well constructed, from the state of the art sound and visuals to the seaPng design, which did make it feel comfortably like a concert, to the surroundings, that it was already such a unique experience the musical acts were the cherry on the sundae.
