i meant to post a similar thought. dave played the club's 30th anniversary party, a gig that is certainly below his average. he and seth are friends. i could totally see dave doing seth a favor and playing his festival.

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"
indeed, one thing that has been nice has been the fact that there haven't been any mega-headliners in a while, with the exception of blink-182 but the second stage made up for that. the foos would definitely change the dynamics.
last 3 times i've seen dave/the foos:
- foo fighters acoustic, 4th row
- launch party for "echoes…", irving plaza NYC, from about 15 feet away
- 930 club's anniversary party, from about 20 feet away
i don't think i can see them from the lawn of a shed…

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…

when blink 182 played, Franz Ferdinand were on the 2nd stage playing.
last year it was LCD vs. M.I.A…..

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