HFStival 2010

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

You mean top acts like Lady Gaga, Jack Johnson, Owl City and Vampire Weekend?

Beats the shit out of FreeFest 2009.

American Bang, Black Keys, Deftones, Five Finger Death Punch, Kottonmouth Kings, LCD Soundsystem, Orianthi and The Dead Weather.

that lineup has exactly one act that would make me go, and another that is pretty good although i don't need to see them again... i.e., i'm definitely not at this festival.

only in the alternate universe that is JA.  freefest had franz ferdinand - they alone beat that abortion of a lineup that kosmo proposed.

Yeah because my liking of The Who and the Foo Fighters totally implies I view those 4 as acceptable headliners

My point is that festival are most often comprised of artists already on tour or specifically doing festival dates and these are examples of "top acts" on tour, whether or not you think they are acceptable.  IMHO it's pretty grime out there in terms of what's currently on tour.

Marcy Playground according to Pollstar.

Can Semisonic, Everclear, Fastball, and Dishwalla be far behind.....

Ewwwwwwwww gross.


And I thought my proposed lineup was bad.

I mean, yeah, that sucks...but I couldnt' think of a more perfect line-up for an HFStival.  Unless you add Papa Roach.

Ewwwwwwwww gross.

i was at that hfstival, at m&t bank stadium, and thought that his set was a riot.  i'm definitely interested in what the rest of the lineup will look like.  hopefully no everclear and papa roach.

This couldn't be anywhere besides the Montgomery County fairgrounds, could it?

I agree. Billy Idol at M&T was great and would not have a problem seeing him at any venue. Marcy Playground though? have they had more than one hit? Keeping fingers crossed for a decent lineup.

Gordie Howe is still playing with the Whalers, right?
