Most of the bands mentioned
Most of the bands mentioned above don't exist anymore. And including Bob Jovi and White Lionis just silly. This is supposed to be great first generation R&R bands, not hair bands from the 80's. Same for Madonna, Springsteen and U2. Like them or not they don't fit the definition of what the original Desert Trip was all about. CSN&Y will never play together again unless big $$$$$ can overcome a lot of personal animosity (and it just might). Jimmy Buffet??????? Now you're just getting desperate.

One of them was just suggesting their mutual dislike of the current US president may get them back together. Wonder if that is code for $$$$$? However, last time I saw them in 2014, Stills was burnt and couldn't even sing.
As for 80s hair bands, there is always the annual Rocklahoma festival:

20 million people tried to get tix for Zeppelin's one off 2007 reunion show in London. Made the Guinness World Records for "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert." If the Zeppelin is on the bill, there would be no need for any other acts.

It also may not be the best
It also may not be the best place for aging rock singers to perform. Both Mick and Roger Daltrey complained of the dust and heat affecting their voices (esp. Mick - he ended up with laryngitis).
I also found it too hot during the day. Was a little cooked by showtime.

The dust was bad. You really
The dust was bad. You really do need to wear a bandana over your nose and mouth (like many of the workers did), which is hard when you want to talk or eat or drink or smoke... or sing on stage.
I stayed at a hotel nearby and came over late in the day, so the heat was less an issue for me. The temperature dropped quickly when the sun went down. I would guess the performers did not camp on site.
