From the Post's weekend chat:

Wheaton, Md.: Heard the Who are touring? True? Are they coming here?

Richard Harrington: The answer is yes. Keep your ears peeled for a major announcement on Monday.
Let's be realistic. Its not The Who. Its Townshend&Daltrey. And I'm pretty sure those two have just a small fraction of their power remaining. Saw them at Nissan last go round (in 2000? W/ Entwhistle?) and it was rather forgettable (in fact, I almost don't believe it happened). Wildcard potential for a resurgence . . . a la the Stones post-Bill Wyman. . . particularly w/ what appears to be additional hype this time around.

This is so true. Everyone is already griping about it. Why not feel lucky that we're even getting a music festival with several decent bands. Sure, I'd be more psyched for something like Chicago is getting, or even the Siren Festival, but beggers can't be choosers.
I hope you feel the same way when the DAM! Fest line-up gets announced.

That's the same as me! I identify with methodism on a national/cultural level, not as much on a religious basis
this is sounding like a one stage festival. i hope its not. i really do.
Drive-By Truckers
Keane

are also comfirmed :)
Lineup
97.50

ouch. (i'm still going, but unfortunately, a lot of my friends will pull the suck card and stay home) oh well.
$97.50?!?!? You've got to be kidding me. The two biggest headliners are RHCP (please) and a band that would have been exciting to see live 40 years and two living members ago. This thing is going to "sponsored" like nothing you've seen before. This isn't something like the "Field Day" festival. I'd have gone for $50.00 but with service charges a ticket is easily going to be over $100. $100? For "When You Were Young?" I'll pass. Maybe Roger Daltry will throw out a hip or something.

I wonder how much the Who added to that price? Hopefully not much. Oh well, I will definitely still go, but many of my friends most likely will not at that price.
Now, that I think of it weren't pit tickets MORE at this year's "HFStival" than what they will be for this thing? Remember when the HFStival was "15 bands for 15 bucks?"

Discussion topic. Which is a more pathetic version of their former self? The HFStival or "The Who?"
