Will it happen? seems so, which I am seriously thrilled about as far as prospects go. When and who will Play? Let the speculation begin…
HFStival 2010
One must ask him/herself who HFS would be playing now if they were still around.
The pessimist in me says Fallout Boy, My Chemical Romance and 3 oh!3 would be prominent in their rotation and therefore, would fill the headliner slots.

Where have you seen any evidence that there would be an hfstival this year?

hfs2 hd and Thefan 106.7 the fan have been running online streaming promos hinting at a big return with something HFS related with concert sounds in the background etc for the last week or so, and Chad Dukes, a one time HFS DJ and intern has also hinted on his twitter and his facebook that HFS2 HD has 'something really big planned' in the last week.
Lastly, if you go to the HFS2 facebook page and click on the one video they have, it pretty much says and shows you everything pointing to HFStival returning.

Well that would certainly be something. Especially with Virgin Fest not what it used to be anymore.
I happen to really like virgin fest 2.0, but apparently my opinion won't count because I'm a festival-hater
If Lollapalooza is the Walmart of music festivals, what does that make HFStival?

Only lineup, time, place, and price of tickets will tell.

You mean overpriced and shade-free?
For the record I'm more of a festival-douter, as in I doubt I'll ever attend a festival held in a large field in the middle of the summer, especially if it's out of town

you don't like improvement? the move from pimlico to MPP alone made an average festival into something interesting.

a hater that hates = predictable.
a hater who likes = interesting, potentially insightful.

well on their FB page they posted this:
new music just added from:
American Bang, Black Keys, Deftones, Five Finger Death Punch, Kottonmouth Kings, LCD Soundsystem, Orianthi and The Dead Weather.
so…..i would take a headlining spot from LCD!

Also going from Foo Fighters, The Who, and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Blink-182 and Weezer. It's still enjoyable but its not going to attract the top acts anymore.
You mean top acts like Lady Gaga, Jack Johnson, Owl City and Vampire Weekend?

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.
Saw this posting for Billy Idol tour dates somewhere else:
