i can see interpol being on the mainstage but i highly doubt they'll headline. even though i love them a lot. and i really do mean that. i don't think they are as big as the cure or the red hot chili peppers or rage against the machine (just name some past headliners...)
i'm very happy that the hfstival is going to be back at m&t bank stadium. i didn't like rfk and i hated fedex feild. i have a feeling this year's festival will be a pretty solid one. i imagine they'll have interpol, muse (because they are doing the mtv invasion tour), my chemical romance, the used (both mcr and the used because of taste of chaos being so damn popular), the offspring (back again because of them being on warped tour this summer), greenday (because well they've had a pretty huge year so far), jimmy eat world (because they are doing very sucessful right now), taking back sunday (because they were so popular at last year's festival) and the foo fighters (because 1. dave growl called in the station and said he'd be more than happy to play and 2. they are supposedly almost done working on their newest album).
if my predictions hold out nicely, i think it's going to be a damn nice festival.
ps- hfstival 2001, i predicted it and got half if not most of my predictions right. i think the case is whatever is popular in the alternative format getting air play is what these promoters try to book.
