i fully support you on that one.  he played at HFStival back in 2005 (? the one at m&t bank stadium) and he ruled.  he's a great front man, and did a halirious job of riding the line between being really pretentious + and self-absorbed; and being self-aware and self-mocking.  i'd be excited to see billy in the line-up.  oh, rhett and joe will be happy to learn that despite being in his late 50s, he's still totally rippped.  really played it up for the ladies

mark it on the books my friends....
 
 Virgin Festival 2008:
 
 *Stone Temple Pilots*
 *Foo Fighters*
 *Jack Johnson*
 *Kanye West*
 Bloc Party
 Pendulum
 Deadmau5
 Rabbit in the Moon
 
 * = Headliners

[Fooer]

Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters and Nine Inch Nails.  3 Main Headliners.  If NIN doesn't get announced for V Festival they will be back when NIN does a second leg of their USA tour in October/November.

[NilThree]

My bets are on NIN, too. Mark the giant gap in their schedule that puts them almost certainly in the area for travel anyways:
 
 August 8 Worcester MA DCU Center
 August 12 Knoxville TN Knoxville Civic Coliseum

[MindCage]

V-fest is the last place I'd want to see NIN do a show. Although it would be rather interesting to see if Filter was also on the bill...
 
 MindCage
 Mindless Faith
 Deep6 Productions

The Foos are headlining the Toronto V-Fest.  Would they do two?  Would Virgin let them?

neither do i, particularly.
 
 but if kanye does play, i hope they stick him on the small stage.  i can only imagine the rant we'll get out of him, claiming that no one respects him, that he deserves to be on the main stage, etc etc etc
