Yup. Id be 100% locked into this fest if I got some promise of not hey-o set. I won't be fooled again
They're playing Friday, unfortunately. Opening for Slayer in Pennsylvania on Saturday and playing Louder Than Life on Sunday.
I think they’ll be on one of the main stages before Blink, Sex Pistols on the other. Weird Al is almost certainly closing Radicals (probably with an extra long set). Not sure where that leaves Rilo Kiley (assuming they are Friday as well), but I know I’m going to be running around the park a lot that night.
This is the strongest set of album plays they have had in years! My #1 here is Screeching Weasel. That album is probably my 2nd favorite of theirs and it has my #1 favorite song ("Science of Myth"). Pegboy and Samiam are up there as well! The Bouncing Souls, Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, Weezer, and the Ataris are all albums that will still get me excited about the set but I've seen them all previously so in a way it helps me feel like I can miss some of their set if I have to. And specifically with Weezer, given the wya they structure those sets? I'll probably watch the first part with the deep cuts and Pinkerton tracks... and then leave after "My Name Is Jonas."
I kinda get the feeling they were booked but fell through. Yellowcard on Blink’s stage makes a lot of sense
Yellowcard has been teasing new music for a bit and presumably will announce a tour along with that, which should give us a good idea of whether they’re still a possible late add.
Did some digging and here's what we know for day by days so far: Friday Blink 182 Alkaline Trio Rilo Kiley Knocked Loose Weird Al Yankovic Sparks (probably, not Saturday) Saturday Weezer Jack White Beach Boys Sunday Green Day Inhaler ... All Time Low (not Friday)
Wanna give a shout out to Shonen Knife who I'm pumped to FINALLY see play one of my favorite covers of all-time

I honestly couldn’t pick between GFM or U&D, I just want another couple of shows. I miss them so much.
