    Would be a great triple bill. Only two bands in it I don't care to see.

    With two rock headliners announced already I suspect the third will be a different type of music.

    RATM should be the 3rd headliner

    As great as PJ would be my bet on the last headliner is either My Chemical Romance or RATM.

    Hearing this may in fact be the case. That would be something.

    I remember when Boston calling was a all indie rock festival! That was pretty cool! Then they added mainstream bands like tool to the bill and it kind of ruined it!! Still may go based on who else plays.

    Close friends brother who works in the music industry in LA. I don’t think they announce until January...so we will have to see, but would be pretty sweet!

    Wow. Well thanks for sharing. That would be pretty sweet indeed.

    It makes a bit of sense given Morello's a Harvard alum and the festival is now held at Harvard Stadium, we shall see.

    Are you joking? The year tool played has a MASSIVE indie/rock under card:

    Eh. Beck, Jack Johnson, Avetts. They've had mainstream headliners as long as they've existed. My main beef is the change of venue. Their setup at Harvard suuuuuuuucks.

    I was more so trying to get at the headliner aspect of it and I think it is because it moved to Harvard! Before that year the biggest headliner they had was death cab and now they are brining in bands like tool, chili peppers and foo fighters! I mean whatever it takes to make a buck to keep it going. Just mainly go for more underground and upcoming huge acts. Lord Huron for instance played this year. Great band and have been and pretty big now but will never be as huge as tool/peppers/foo
