Saturday, October 15 Palm Springs, CA Ace Hotel: Desert Trip Festival Afterparty – Soul Clap and Dance-Off with Jonathan Toubin and DJs Cole Alexander of Black Lips! Desert Trip Festival is Coachella’s classic rock weekend with performances by a distinguished convocation of nobel laureate Bob Dylan, knight Sir Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones (led by another knight), The Who (led by a knight), Roger Waters, who isn’t a knight (I googled it), and Neil Young, who dreamed he saw the knights in armor coming… Anyhow, a half hour away in the hippest outpost of the nearest city, the Soul Clap and Dance-Off is one of the myriad of afterparties for the aging audience members with the stamina to stay up late after their big day out… Also Desert Daze Festival is just down the road! Function at the junction!
