Rock legends including,The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and  Bob Dylan are all set to perform at a US "mega-festival" this October.

The Desert Trip festival is scheduled to be held at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California, the site of the Coachella music festival for the three days.

The event tickets start at $200 (£137) per day and $1,599 (£1,097) for a three-day pass. Roger Waters, Neil Young and the Who are also expected to play in the event. Performances will begin after sunset.

The Who's Roger Daltrey, said that, "We have to face it, we are (at) the end of an era," the singer told 6 Music's Matt Everitt. "We're the last of our generation."

"You can see from reading the obituaries lately that we (rock stars) don't make old bones very well, do we?"

"I don't think any of us cares who goes on first," said Daltrey."We've never worried about that. The music is all so different, that's not going to matter at all."

Schedule of the event:

Friday, 7 October: The Rolling Stones, with Bob Dylan and His Band

Saturday, 8 October: Paul McCartney with Neil Young + Promise of the Real

Sunday, 9 October: Roger Waters with The Who.
