|
The Site Thursday, September 30 I think we can sum up the
|
|
- [2]News HFStival Fall Edition with one word: ROWDY. From the
|
|
- [3]The Bands violence and ticket-tearing that went down before
|
|
- [4]Submit the gates even opened, to the early mosh pits (in
|
|
News one of which my friend got a nasty black eye), to
|
|
- [5]Contact Me Limp Bizkit's hell-raising set, this HFStival was,
|
|
in my humble opinion, the craziest EVER. I actually
|
|
Links fell down in the mosh pit during Bizkit's set. It
|
|
- [6]HFS.com was seriously the scariest thing that's ever
|
|
- [7]Official happened to me. No joke.
|
|
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.
