swans at freefest would be hilariously awesome
FREEFEST 2011
I started coming up with a list of who I'd like to see there, but I'd rather see BRMC, MNDR, QOTSA, Soundgarden, Nicole Atkins, etc. with full sets at the club.
It'll be a good show regardless.

Hum
Rumor has it their on the fence about more reunion shows so it's doubtful; I think Seth should talk them off the fence and on to FreeFest.

I would love to see Hum. And Queens.

This. And the reunited Pulp to boot.
Though I know neither would ever happen. :-[

I'd say "No." What was the last Manics album that was even physically released in the United States? I'm almost sure their last four or five haven't. Was "This is My Truth…."? That was 13 YEARS ago!
Now that I think of it, I'm not even sure if Pulp's last few have been physically released over here. "We Love Life?"
I don't think the singles collection was.
The Manic's legendary Top 40 streak was just broken so….it's sort of like Ripken's streak, isn't it? Why pay attention anymore?

FWIW, the 2 albums prior to their most recent were both released in the US and they toured here (albeit a short tour) in '09.
I've always read these boards to find out inside information, but this is my first post. I am a big Foo Fighters fan and couldn't help but noticing that they were playing in Pittsburgh on 9/23 a friday, and in buffalo on 9/25 a sunday, leaving a perfectly good Saturday at the end of September open, this has to mean Foo Fighters 9/24 at Free fest. I am wondering how everyone got their presale passcodes for last years freefest, because I could never find one last year, and was left out of freefest entirely because I couldn't get a ticket, I would like to sign up for whatever you have to sign up for to get it.

Foo Fighters, Big Audio Dynamite? anyone else fit?

foos are too big for freefest
and Pavement, Blink 182, and LCD Soundsystem arent?
With how hyped (and surprisingly good) their new album is, I really don't see the Foos' DC stop being Freefest.
Shouldn't we be hearing lineup announcements soonish?

LOL at Pavement and LCD Soundsystem being big bands. Foo Fighters play arenas. Most people don't know who Pavement is and LCD played clubs.
LCD sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl on their last tour… those places arent clubs.
and while Pavement may not be as "popular" as others, they've still gotten very high billing at the places they've played.
Not saying they're as big as the Foos, but they're not as small as put out to be.

If the Foo Fighters are booked for this year's FreeFest it will be like the first Freefest with the majority wanting to be at the mainstage all day. At last year's one could easily move between stages and at least get in the pavilion or pit, unlike the first year.
And if the Foo's do headline, lets hope that Seth books a second stage headliner that actually writes good songs and not just riff-o-matic music with LOL lyrics. "Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you"

Yeah on their farewell tour. Would they have been playing MSG had it not been their last show ever? Of course not, they would have been in a club.

i haven't taken the time to listen to the new album, and i have a soft spot for the foos, but that's a spot-on description of them ;D
Lineup was announced July 20 last year.
