So what happened this a.m.?

Why no mention of pre-1993 festivals? The 92 edition at the PG equestrian center with the Soup Dragons and the Charlatans was pretty good. It's hard to believe that I haven't been to an hfstival since '97, but when one looks at the lists of bands. . .

Few more rumored:

Modest Mouse
The Postal Service
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Lostprophet

I don't think it was technically called "HFStival" yet.

I went to the first one – Tragically Hip, Jawbox, The Pursuit of Happiness…..

i hope something exciting happens tommorrow on here……….i'm not working so shall have the whole day open to enjoy the "fury" that the pre-teens unleash………….

wahoo……..

From WHFS.com

"This Saturday April 17th @ noon, Join HFS at the 9:30 Club where you can purchase your tickets and AVOID PAYING ANY SERVICE CHARGES!!!"

I thought the club was tickets.com?

Sure. Modest Mouse. Ha! They pull out that rumor any time they want to increase sales, but we all know it ain't happening.

Ah, what I wouldn't pay for it to be true… to hear them play Cowboy Dan live… *sigh*

how do you know it is not happening, they were on the top 10 countdown on MTV 2 last night, the one that had hoobastinks at #1, you may have to face the fact that Modest Mouse is about to be a lot more popular than before

Actually, they're playing according to the hfetival.com kids. They've figured out every one of those white pictures on the main page of whfs.com. They're one of the 3 getting announced Thursday, apparently.

According to the WHFS site, "Float On" was just added to their playlist.

Don't you love it when your heroes sell out? First they get a car commercial, now the HFS festival. Good for them. Way to go Modest Mouse. Take a bow and stop being so modest!

Just trying to make things more interesting for poorlulu

so what happened? i take the day off and go see the first game at citizens bank park in philly, and something happens. a pm would be fine.

btw, the phillies stink. the fans were booing the team by the 5th inning. . .

I always guessed your name was Serge.

That '94 lineup was pretty sweet at time. I was seriously into James then - I've still got this pretty 'happy' looking James daisy t-shirt from that afternoon. I thought it was rather amusing, since my real first name is..you guessed it - James.

Weak Mr Balls…very weak. Even you can do much better than that.

What about 1992 with the Charlatans and Catherine Wheel? Sigh..those were the days.

i was 13, my mom wouldn't let me go

As a service to you (as well as to help me figure out exactly whos confirmed, rumored, and not), here's the list of whats known so far.

CONFIRMED:
Jay-Z
Violent Femmes
Yellowcard
The Offspring
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
OAR
P.O.D.
Papa Roach
LostProphets

RUMORED (but confirmed off the record, according to AbsolutePunk.net):
Cypress Hill
New Found Glory
Modest Mouse
The Living End
Taking Back Sunday

Cypress, NFG, and TBS are pretty certain to me. Looking at the outlines of the pictures on WHFS.com, it seems clear to me now that the bottom middle picture is the outline of a well-known TBS promo pic. Ditto Cypress on the left-side second to bottom and NFG on the middle second-to-bottom.

If the rumored bands are all true, I think I'll strongly consider going to this (might make me the only user on this boards at the show). Jay-Z should be fun. I'm still a fan of Taking Back Sunday based on the days of basement shows on Long Island. Modest Mouse, NFG, and Violent Femmes interest me on a cursory level. Plus I'm a sucker for the festival atmosphere, which is why I go to Warped Tour every year to walk around the merch booths and sit in the dirt reading Milan Kundera novels.
