INDIO, Calif. (AP) – The latest on the Desert Trip music festival in Indio, California, which features six legendary acts over three days: the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and the Who. It will be the first time ever they’ve all performed at the same event (all times local).

5:25 p.m.

Middle-aged, white-haired rockers heading to the Desert Trip music festival for the concert of a lifetime were welcomed with 95-degree heat.

The Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, opened Friday afternoon for the three-day concert.

Concertgoers toted beach chairs and backpacks to the dusty, grassy area dotted with merchandise tents and food stalls. During the heat of the day, most attendees clamored for shade. Others crowded the souvenir tent to pick up concert T-shirts or opted to keep cool inside the air-conditioned classic rock photo exhibit.
