As the inaugural Desert Trip Festival approaches, the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards is particularly excited to share the bill with Bob Dylan.

"On the Friday night, it's going to be us and Bob Dylan, so there will be masses of musicians, actually masses of guests of all the musicians, and it's a fun time for everyone," Richards told Q104.3.

"I'd work with Bob any[where]. I'd work with Bob in hell or heaven. I love him."

The Desert Trip will take place at Indio, California's Empire Polo Club October 7-9 and October 14-16.

The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan play the Friday nights, Paul McCartney and Neil Young will headline the Saturday legs and Roger Waters and The Who will close each weekend on the Sundays.
