Crosby, Stills and Nash are scheduled to make their Coachella Valley debut at 8 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino.
Tickets for the concert are priced at $49, $69 and $79 and are on sale now through the casino box office and online through Tickets.com.
Depending on whether you talk to David Crosby and Graham Nash, who claim that they started singing together at Joni Mitchell's home, or Stephen Stills, who claims it was at Mama Cass Elliott's, the trio has been a driving force in American music starting in 1969.
They are known for tight harmonies and intricate lyrics. Both Stephen Stills and David Crosby have played solo concerts in Palm Springs and Indio, but this will be the first time the trio will perform together.
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino is in Indio at 84-245 Indio Springs Parkway.

Yes tour announces prog-rock partnership, summer dates with Asia
By Allison Reitz
Progressive rock musician Steve Howe will play overtime this summer when prog-rock icon Yes tours with special guest Asia. Howe, who plays guitar in both bands, will take the stage twice a night throughout the 24-city tour.
The trek kicks off on the West Coast with a June 26 concert at Fantasy Springs in Indio, CA, and crosses over to the East Coast for an August 2 close-out at Bethlehem Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA. Highlights of the run are a July 2 concert at Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, CA, a July 12 performance at Paramount Theatre in Denver, CO, and a July 29 show at Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ.
Asia formed in the early 1980s, comprised of members from prog-rock titans such as King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The group's mainstream success was somewhat limited, driven by the anthemic commercial hit "Heat of the Moment." However, Asia has retained a place of honor among progressive rock fans.
"People have been waiting for this for decades," said John Wetton, bassist and vocalist for Asia, in a statement. "Since America was so important to the success of both bands, we feel it was the right time and place to launch [this tour]."
In addition to Howe, the Yes lineup will consist of classic members Chris Squire on bass and Alan White on drums. They will be joined by stand-in vocalist Benoit David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman, taking over for his father and longtime Yes member Rick Wakeman.
For the past year, the Yes line-up has been in a state of flux. Lead singer Jon Anderson was diagnosed with acute respiratory failure last summer and ordered to rest for at least six months, sidelining the band's planned 40th anniversary tour. David, a Yes tribute band singer, stepped in for Anderson, allowing the band to complete more than 30 concerts on the 2008-2009 In The Present Tour.
More health issues sidelined the band during its early 2009 tour dates. After undergoing leg surgery in February, Squire was ordered to rest for one month, and the rest of the tour was cancelled.
Despite his recent health concerns and shifts in the band lineup, Squire is optimistic about the band's direction and upcoming tour. In a statement, he said, "This has turned out to be one of the best performing line-ups in Yes' storied history. It feels like we're rediscovering these songs all over again."

The Press-Enterprise
Last year Mötley Crüe brought the inaugural edition of Crüe Fest to Devore and now the rock band is launching its Saints of Los Angeles tour in Indio at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino's Special Events Center on Jan. 31.
Mötley Crüe is one of the most notorious bands in rock 'n' roll, exploding from the Sunset Strip scene in LA in the early '80s and having celebrated a debauchery-filled lifestyle in its music and off the stage. Along the way, the band has sold millions of records.
Singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars and drummer Tommy Lee have had mega-hits with songs such as "Dr. Feelgood," "Home Sweet Home," "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Kickstart My Heart."
Mötley Crüe will kick off its Saints of Los Angeles tour Jan. 31 in Indio.
The band released "Saints of Los Angeles," an album based on its best-selling book "The Dirt," earlier this year before kicking off what members promised to be an annual touring rock 'n' roll festival called Crüe Fest.
Tickets for the Fantasy Springs show are $69, $79, $89 and $109 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.
They can be purchased at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino box office or by calling 760-342-5000. Tickets can also be bought online at www.tickets.com or www.fantasyspringsresort.com.
