Move over Coachella, here comes a-once-in-a-lifetime music lineup.
The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul Mccartney, Neil Young, The Who and Roger Waters are in the final stages of discussions for a three-day concert in October in Indio, California, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Goldenvoice, the concert organizer, is part of the same group that puts together the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The six rock behemoths, have never shared billing together. The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan have toured together in the past. The Who, Waters, McCartney and Young have performed at one time with the others at large benefit concerts.
Plans are being finalized with an official announcement expected in the coming weeks, according to the Times. The festival lineup is expected to open with Dylan and the Stones Oct. 7 at the Empire Polo Field. Young and McCartney would follow Oct. 8. The Who and Waters would wrap up the festival Oct. 9.
"It's so special in so many ways," Elliot Roberts, Young's manager, told the Times. "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."
