The 2016 Desert Trip festival, held in Indio, California, remains the highest-grossing music festival of all time, earning over $160 million. The event featured a lineup of classic rock icons including Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and the Who.

Approximately 300,000 fans attended the two-weekend event. Goldenvoice CEO Paul Tollett has described the festival as a unique, one-off occurrence rather than a recurring festival, noting that the specific combination of performers was intended to be a special, singular moment in time.
