[1]GO CHECK OUT MY NEW PAGE!! HFS2G, BABY!!

The Site Thursday, September 30 I think we can sum up the

News one of which my friend got a nasty black eye), to

in my humble opinion, the craziest EVER. I actually

- [6]HFS.com was seriously the scariest thing that's ever

HFStival
Page It was great to have the festival back at RFK.
PSInet was nice, but taking the metro is sooo
Who was da best convenient, or at least it was in the morning...
act at the Fall Coming back was a different story entirely. There
Edition? were some great acts. A few of my favorites were
[8][ ] Fuel, Long Beach Dub Allstars, surprise guests Run
[9][Submit] DMC, Sev (Fairfax County. Aww yeah.), Jimmie's
Chicken Shack (who had a much better set than in the
[hfs99] spring), and of course Limp Bizkit. Words cannot
fully describe the spectacle that was Limp's set.
Fireballs! Foul language! Exposed breasts! And
100,000 flying plastic bottles! It was AMAZING. I
came home after their set and slept for FOURTEEN
hours.
Another year, another TWO great HFStivals. I'll see
yall in the spring! HFStival 2000, baby!
Friday, August 27 A friend of mind pointed me to a
bit o' HFStival news on the [10]SEV WEBSITE. It
seems that there will be not one, not two, but THREE
stages at the upcoming HFStival. There will be the
traditional inner stage, for the bigger acts, and
the outer stage, for the lesser-known ones, but this
festival will see the addition of a stage for local
acts. You can check out the [11]bands page for my
breakdown of the acts and their respective stages.
Just my guesses, but its the best I can do at this
point. And oh yeah, tickets tomorrow, 10:00am,
Ticketmaster, $25 each, cash only.
Wednesday, August 25 Outer stage! Outer stage! Party
time! Excellent! Just discovered the lineup for the
HFStival Outer Stage, the home of local music at the
festival. Here we go: Good Charlotte, Underfoot,
Laughing Colors, Mary Prankster, Colouring Lesson,
Modern Yesterday, Live Alien Broadcast, and the
Wakeing Hours. Sounds good to me. And in other news,
appearing at the Trancemissions Tent will be:
Thievrey Corporation, DieselBoy, DJ Touche of the
Wiseguys, John Tab, Feelgood, Lovegrove, Scott
Henry, and Lieven.
In other news, tickets for the 1999 HFStival: Fall
Edition go on sale this saturday at 10:00. Be there,
or... don't be at the HFStival.
Tuesday, August 24 I was just checking the official
HFStival page, and it seems that 6 more bands have
been quietly added to the line-up. These new bands
are HFStival veteran Sev, Staind, Jact, Bis,
Splittsville, and Uncle Ho (yeah, you read that
right). That brings our grand total to 16 bands,
with reportedly more on the way. Also, the
Trancemissions tent will be returning to this latest
HFStival, so all you dance fans can have something
to look forward to.
[12]And everybody wish my sister a happy birthday!
Thursday, August 19 I wuz listening to HFS last
night, and I heard about three more bands headed for
the fall festival... Fuel, Filter, and Bush! This
brings our grand total up to 10 bands, with more on
the way. Exciting stuff.
Wednesday, August 18 HFStival '99 -- FALL EDITION,
BABY! That's right, folks, for the first time ever,
the year of 99, the year of HFS, will host not one
but TWO HFStivals! This second HFStival will take
place on Saturday, September 25, at RFK STADIUM,
unlike the earlier HFStival. Tickets go on sale on
Saturday, August 28, at 10:00AM, and are available
through TicketMaster Outlets, TicketMaster
PhoneCharge, and, in an interesting twist, through
[13]TicketMaster Online.
And now on to what's really important, the bands.
HFStival Fall '99 will featured such acts as Limp
Bizkit, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Everclear, the
Chemical Brothers, Buckcherry, 311, and the Long
Beach Dub Allstars (basically Sublime without Brad
Nowell). Sounds awesome, although this list seems
short to me, and there is always a possibility that
other bands will be announced later.
Expect a new look for this page, as well as more
information as it becomes available. Two HFStivals
in one year! Who woulda thought...
Sunday, May 30 80,000 people crammed together like
sardines on a scorchingly hot day, listening to
music that was far too loud and doing things that
are illegal in most states? Yeah, I'd say that
pretty much sums it up. This year's HFStival kicked
ass!
The Chili Peppers were good, playing some classic
songs as well as new material, but I think we all
know who owned this year's festival: The Offspring.
They had the whole stadium going crazy. I'd put
their performance right up there with Green Day as
one of the all-time HFStival best. I didn't get out
to the side stage very much, but I hear Sev was
really good. If you've got any HFStival memories,
please, [14]send em my way.
I think the most exciting thing all day was an
announcement on the Jumbotron screen over the
stage... a second HFStival! The message said
something like, "Only once a century does it happen
twice a year: May 29 and September 25." I was like,
oh my god! More info as I hear it.
Saturday, May 29 Hell yeah, folks. The festival is
here. I hear it's gonna be a scorching 91 degrees
today, and it'll feel more like 130 inside the
stadium. It's gonna be freakin' insane. 70,000 or
more people dancing, yelling, smoking, and having an
all around hell of a good time. It's BS that we
can't bring in water, but there should be enough to
go around. I hear about a booth they are going to
set up that sprays people with cool, soothing,
life-giving mist. That's where you'll find me :) If
you have any last minute questions, send them my
way, and I'll be back with my HFStival wrap-up after
I recover (36 hours of sleep, minimum). I hope you
all have a great time, and I'll be seein' ya'll at
the 1999 HFStival, baby!
Wednesday, May 19 Well, the HFStival is only 10
short days away! Aww man, it's gonna rock your
world.
If I had only one piece of advice to offer you,
fellow HFStivalgoer, sunscreen would be it. Put some
on before you leave. Put some on when you get to the
stadium. Put some on after every band you see. If
you think you have too much sunscreen on, put on
some more. I promise you'll still get a tan, and
this way you might not get burned too bad. Also,
bring enough money for drinks. Water is hard to
find, and a drink'll run about $3. I know it's
expensive, but you won't care after you've been
standing in the heat for five or six hours.
I'll be back with more helpful advice as we get
closer to the festival. Some of my ideas may not be
the greatest, but trust me on the sunscreen :P
Thursday, April 28 Tickets this saturday! They go on
sale this saturday at 9am through MOST TicketMaster
outlets and through TicketMaster PhoneCharge. There
are a few locations that won't be selling HFStival
tickets, and I'd advise you to check [15]here to see
if you're local ticket outlet is one of them.
My advice to all of you is to go to where ever it is
you plan to buy tickets on friday night and see
what's up. Talk to the ticket sellers and mall
security and see what their plan is, and try to get
your name on any list, official or unofficial, that
you can find. Remember: you can only buy tickets
with cash. Tickets are $25 plus a service charge of
less than $5 per ticket. Four tickets per person
limit. Good luck to everyone, and just try to be
civil about it.
Wednesday, April 21 Sorry for the lack of updates.
I've been feeling a little bit under the weather,
and I needed to get my beauty sleep. Anyway, we've
got the complete band list (aside from any surprise
bands) and all the ticket info. Tickets will go on
sale on Saturday, May 1 at 9am, available at
TicketMaster outlets, through TicketMaster
PhoneCharge, and at many other places, including RFK
Stadium (I'd call there first, though) and Mailboxes
Etc. Like last year, tickets will cost $25 with a
$4-5 service charge.
And now, what you've all been waiting for: the
bands! They've got some great acts lined up this
year. Headlining the festival will be the Red Hot
Chili Peppers. Other major bands include the
Offspring, Live, Sugar Ray, Goo Goo Dolls,
Silverchair, Blink 182, and the Mighty Mighty
Bosstones. The other main stage performers will be
Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Orgy, Lit, and Sev, for a
total of 12 bands.
On the outer stage, the more popular bands playing
are 2 Skinee J's, Citizen King, and Fountains of
Wayne. Also, we'll be hearing Buck Cherry, the
Freestylers, the Living End, Ozomatli, and Beth
Orton, the only female performer at this year's
HFStival.
Expect some surprise announcements from HFS, this
being the 10th HFStival and whatnot, and listen to
win tickets. They've already started giving them
away. Good luck, and I think this year's festival is
going to be a blast!
Sunday, April 18 Official HFStival announcements
coming on monday! We'll finally learn about the
bands and when we can finally get tickets. I'll
listen to as much as I can, but I'd appreciate it if
you'd tell me about any of the bands you hear.
Also, we have our first confirmed band: SEV. This
local act won the Big Break dealie and now they get
to open the main stage. Way to go guys.
Thursday, April 15 Just got an email announcing the
new offical HFStival page. Now, it's still under
construction, and some of the links don't work, but
it's a good sign of things to come. You can find it
[16]here. Keep the rumors coming folks!
Monday, April 12 Big update today. It turns out that
the rumors I heard earlier were from a Rolling Stone
article (which can be found [17]here). Now, I've
been told that the author of this article tried the
same stunt (leaking HFStival bands before the
official announcements) last year, and half of his
article turned out to be wrong, so don't have too
much faith in anything you hear from non-HFS
sources.
On a more positive note, I've heard some great
things about Raven Stadium (actually called "PSInet
Stadium"), where the 1999 HFStival will be held. One
reader described it as "nothing less than A FRIGGIN'
PALACE with a football field in the middle." I've
never been to the stadium, being a Redskins fan
myself (hold your laughter until the end of the
presentation). I hear it has great audio and video
systems, as well as 100,000 parking spaces, so
parking won't be a problem. Also, Raven Stadium is
larger, allowing HFS to sell approx. 10,000 more
tickets. There's a light rail system in Baltimore
that stops right outside the stadium that could be
used by festival-goers (is that a word?). Overall, I
feel that the choice to move the HFStival was
probably a good one and won't be a major
inconvenience for fans in Washington.
Still haven't heard much about ticket sales. One
source told me that tickets will go on sale this
saturday, april 17, but that seems a little too soon
to me, considering that they haven't announced
anything yet.
Sunday, April 11 Hey folks! Wasn't sure if I was
gonna do this again this year, but I got an email
with a whole bunch of HFStival info (thanks Dave),
and I felt like I had to post all this stuff. So
here I am, back again this year, bringing you all
the info as I hear it.
The 1999 HFStival will take place on May 29, 1999.
If you hadn't heard yet, the '99 HFStival will NOT
take place at RFK as it has in the past, but rather
at Raven Stadium in Baltimore. This raises some
questions in my mind, but I'll reserve judgement
until I hear more info. I guess I'm not taking metro
this year.
This year, I've got a TON of info about the bands,
unlike last year, when I didn't hear much until they
were officially announced. Here's what we've got so
far:
Keeping in mind that this is all just rumors at this
point, my source tells me that the Red Hot Chili
Peppers and the Offspring could play the festival,
as well as the Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar Ray, the Mighty
Mighty Bosstones, Lit ("My Own Worst Enemy"), Orgy,
Blink 182, and four others. The Chili Peppers and
Blink will preview material from their forthcoming
albums, called "Californication" and "Enema of the
State," respectively. And those are just the main
stage bands.
On the outer stage, slated artists include Fountains
of Wayne, Beth Orton and Zebrahead. Other
possibilities are Citizen King, Marvelous 3, Puya,
and Buckcherry. The winner of the HFS Big Break will
also get a spot. The three finalists are Sev, the
Martians, and Sampson. The finals will be on April
15th at Bohagers in Baltimore.
"In all, twenty bands are expected to play this
year's HFStival -- twelve on the main stage and
eight on the second stage." -Dave (my source)
Like always, I love your input. If you've got some
info or thoughts on improving the site, email me.
Lets hope this year's HFStival turns out to be as
cool as the festivals from years past.
