Dressing down his look with a navy shirt, the music legend was the picture of cool as he made his grand entrance, hands slung in his pockets.
In October Desert Trip (AKA Oldchella) saw the likes of The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, and Neil Young play to sold out crowds.
And now it seems organizers are attempting to entice more legendary acts to perform in the desert next year, and they have their sights set on The Police.

According to the Mirror, Sting, Andy Summers and Stewart Copland have been offered £7.3million to play a reunion show as part of next year's festival in Indio, California.
The band, who first broke up in 1986, are being offered a deal close to $9million. Though they could earn in excess of that figure with merchandising.
MailOnline have contacted a representative of the band for comment.
The '80s rockers, who are famous for songs such as Roxanne and Message In A Bottle, have not played together since they reformed for a series of reunion tours.

The Police Reunion Tour took place between 2007 and 2008, and over its 151 dates saw the band travel the world from Europe to South America.
The Reunion saw the band earn a reported £292million, so its no surprise that festival bosses are thought to be offering the hefty £7million paycheck with expenses thrown in on top.
However, Sting - who has gone on to have a wildly successful solo career - has previously hinted that another reunion would be out of the question.
Rare: The Police last took to the stage in 2007 and 2008 for the Reunion Tour, which took in 151 dates across the world from Europe to South America.
Speaking about taking on another reunion show, he previously said:
'It’s done. Over. I thought with The Police that everything we achieved in the short amount of time we were together, in five or six years, we achieved 10-fold, 50-fold, and that artistic park has been used up.'
They have reportedly already declined several other big money offers to reunite.

Other bands rumored to be playing Desert Trip in 2017 include Bon Jovi, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.
This year the festival - held over two weekends - had a near legendary line-up consisting of: The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Sir Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and The Who.
Ahead of the festival Forbes reported that the two weekend extravaganza would gross close to $160million.
