( MARIO ANZUONI / REUTERS )INDIO, CALIF.—Neil Young performed for nearly two hours to open the second night of the Desert Trip music festival, matching the energy of band members half his age. Despite a bill of septuagenarians (Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones played Friday), Desert Trip is not just for baby boomers. “All their parents are out of town here.” The Desert Trip festival is being held at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival each spring. But where Coachella is aimed at millennials, Desert Trip targets more affluent baby boomers who grew up with the festival’s featured rockers.
