It's like that Community episode where you find out everyone from the study group was at the mall at the same time and that's what led them to Greendale, except it's GBV at the side stage at HFStival and the 9:30 board

Yeah

The one I am real fuzzy about is 1997

I think I remember seeing Blondie but that’s it…how can I not remember Jamiroquai is beyond me

Could definitely see Black Keys as one of the headliners.

Also, I see Spoon is available....  :)

Guys, I literally have almost 75% of my old HFStival.com army back and ready to raid other forums. Didn’t even have to try. This is amazing.

Hoping for anyone but the Foos to headline this, but knowing they have a festival date in CT around the same time and are the forever choice for IMP, that's gotta be the front runner.

Would love to be wrong and find out they booked an act like Pearl Jam instead since they are playing ball parks and festivals in September as well. Haven't had a proper DC show in ages. No Doubt was also in the teaser, but everything I have seen suggests that Coachella booking was a one off.

One thing they can't resurrect is the hard ticket sale. At Tower Records, that was an all-hands-on-deck event. Hundreds in line and a giant cash deposit the next day (all cash sales). The Annapolis strip mall didn't like the huge mob in the parking lot, so in subsequent years we had them line up in the back (with the dumpsters), enter through a fire exit, and leave through the front. Everybody happy.

My brother tells me we went to the 1992 festival. How do I not remember seeing Iggy? Is it possible we left before he and INXS (who I liked as well) played? I do remember seeing him do a club show a year or two prior, as well as a Stooges show in the early 2000's.

I remember the sound was horrible. The only outdoor stadium show I've ever been to.

Outdoor stadiums can be terrible for sound….i do remember seeing Bruce at Nats Park and it sounded fine….festivals can be tricky one artist after another…lots of different sound requirements…

I saw the Stones at fedex field in 1997 and it was sooooioii bad…sidehatch got us literally the worst seats…he has been cursed with bad ticket kung-fu his whole life…we were so far up cold and it took three seconds for sound to get to us…gave up on stones til 2006 and they absolutely slayed at Baltimore arena

So wish I had seen INXS in 1992… I wasn’t in DC yet but I loved Welcome to wherever we are…not sure why that album bombed as it’s pretty killer..it’s like U2 stole their thunder with Achtung baby

Because Iggy and INXS were 1993?
