foos are too big for the organizers...its not that they would not play...we all know dave will play garages for pete's sake! and fyi the garage for dc area was in md...

but if you had the foos at a FREE festival with two stages and multiple acts it would create a big headache from a logistical standpoint....and it would turn into a foo fighers show overshadowing everything else....just dont see it

btw pavement- much as i like them- played to a half empty pit and 80% empty pavillion

the closest to a ff level act was weezer not blink 182...
I guess you can take it that way, I think Blink-182, unfortunately, were bigger in their hay day than the Foos are right now. So their big "come back" was semi-big. I heard more people talking about "BLINK 182 AT FREEFEST" than anything else. I didn't really care, I was gonna see Ludacris and MIA on the 2nd stage hahahaha

If it REALLY turned into "OMFG FREE FOO FIGHTERS" would it really be any worse than last year? I didnt hear Blink 182 and I was fine with that. Not that I didnt want to or it would have ruined my day, I just think IF the Foo Fighers played it wouldn't ruin the atmosphere.

Do you think people's experiences were ruined at Coachella when Madonna played? Cmon.

Madonna played the dance tent at Chella. She was like a last minute addition though I think. Kind of like when Jimmy Buffet played the small stage at noon during Bonnaroo two years ago. She was also billed below Massive Attack that day.

i'm betting Foos will play the fest...of course some other band will play the second stage while they are playing...

not everyone is into the Foos...

but if you had the foos at a FREE festival with two stages and multiple acts it would create a big headache from a logistical standpoint....and it would turn into a foo fighers show overshadowing everything else....just dont see it

Foo Fighters are playing shows 9-22, 23, 25, and 26. I doubt they would play the 24 as well.
