Now confirmed, following the teaser trailers at the end of last week (as well as the widespread rumours preceding those), is the Desert Trip festival. This takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California - the location that the annual Coachella event takes place - between October 7th - 9th, 2016.

The line-up is confirmed as follows:

• Friday, October 7th: The Rolling Stones; Bob Dylan and His Band
• Saturday, October 8th: Paul McCartney; Neil Young and Promise of the Real
• Sunday, October 9th: Roger Waters; The Who

The gates each day open at 2pm but as yet, no details of any additional bands/support artists, or timings. Before you ask, there's also no information yet on Roger's band OR intended material - we suspect the band will be the same/similar to The Wall shows, and the material will probably be a mix of old and new solo music, with some Floyd stuff added in here and there.

Reserved and General Admission passes go on sale Monday, May 9th at 10am PT. Tickets are available as follows (all subject to book fees):

• $199 - Single Day General Admission

One of lesser well-kept rumours has been the concert to be held from October 7th to 9th, 2016, at the Coachella festival site, Indio, California. When initial chatter started up about the show, the line-up - Roger Waters, The Who, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones - seemed like someone's bizarre fantasy. After all, who is going to want to take second billing each of the three days?

However, guards soon dropped, and some of those involved (including Roger Daltrey) started making mention of it as a confirmed event. Daltrey said: "It's a fantastic idea for a festival. It's the greatest remains of our era. It's a great idea. I just hope a lot of normal fans can get tickets before they get snatched up."

Last night, things went up a gear with the release from Waters, Dylan and The Who, of their own, separate teasers which simply had "October" as a caption. Dylan's included his vocal of "Something is happening here, but you don't know what it is...", The Who's used My Generation (the suggestion is that it's the last big concert of their generation before passing the baton on to the younger bands), and Roger? He posted this:

Obviously, as details get released (and with the arrival of this teaser yesterday, it can't be long before more is revealed) we will bring you all the information. Safe to say, whilst the tickets are likely to be extremely pricey, there's incredible value there, and if you can make it to California on those dates, you are sure to have a very memorable time...

Last night, David Gilmour's sell-out concert at London's Royal Albert Hall saw him turn things purple during Comfortably Numb, in a personal tribute to Prince, who passed away this week.

The concert, the final night of the string of shows designed to raise awareness and all-important funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity, featured a superb performance. The audience, including a mixture of Pink Floyd fans, Teenage Cancer Trust representatives, and those currently undergoing cancer treatment, found themselves regularly on their feet. The set list itself was the full Rattle That Lock set seen in North America, with the added songs What Do You Want From Me and Coming Back To Life, both additions to the set that ran from September 2015 when the tour started in Brighton, England with the preview show.

The Teenage Cancer Trust shows these days are much less likely to include guest performers and so it was with last night's show; however, for those familiar with the show, David was able to spring an unannounced surprise. During Comfortably Numb, a lighting change saw the stage dramatically change to a purple wash, as the song took a new direction, fairly quickly identified as an instrumental chunk of Prince's Purple Rain.

It wasn't the first time that David had performed this track - in 1992, he played guitar for Sir Tom Jones' rendition of Purple Rain for a television show - although the timing of this new tribute was perfect, and well executed.

Pictures, reviews and more information on the show are now being added to the show page. Our thanks to everyone who has sent in contributions; we are going through them all now and will include as many as possible on the site. For more information on the wonderful work that the charity does, please visit TeenageCancerTrust.org.

Anticipation is building for the concluding concert in this week's Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall, with David Gilmour taking to the stage for this most worthy of charities. He last took part in their annual concerts in 2004, at the same venue.

For those who still want to go, there are still a few tickets left for the show, which at time of writing can only be obtained from the venue itself. You can either visit RoyalAlbertHall.com and search for David's concert, or give them a call on 0207-589-8212 (or +44-207-589-8212 internationally). With the money going to the charity, it will be a very worthwhile way to spend your Sunday evening!

Each year, a range of special merchandise is created for the shows - the items will be available from the venue on the night, and remaining stock will then be available from TeenageCancerTrust.org, where you can also find out what the charity do, and what your money goes toward.

For those going, we hope you have a great time whilst giving support and help to those who really need it. If you aren't going, rest assured we will cover the concert as normal.
