    Great line up!  Looks like fun.  Are you going, Joe?  Would love to hear about the show.  I didn't know some of these bands were still together.  Very cool!

    Definitely going.  We went last year, and it was a great show.   We had backstage access, and got yelled at by Johhny Rotten for asking him for a selfie with us!   

    Several of the bands on the line-up haven't played in the U.S. for a long time......15 years since Love & Rockets performed, same for Siouxsie.

    That festival looks great. If they brought it to the East Coast I would be there for sure.

    Good line up. I just don't need to hear "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors...
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.

    Ooooh I just looked it up over the weekend to see if it was going to happen this year, thanks for posting!  I wouldn't go last year because I loved the line up but won't buy tix to anything Morrisey is involved in (I do not agree with his politics and vote with my dollars), so very happy that if I can make the dates work & get tix, I'll be there this year!

    Approaching Rotten is just a bad idea.  His name really does say it all, lol.

    Great line up, wish I was able to make it. Love and Rockets, Echo and B-Men, Siouxsie, Iggy Pop.

    Wow!  What a 80's time machine!  Throw Wang Chung in there, and we'll have a serious party happening.

    I'm not sure what genre this even is.. Would these include Flock of Seagulls?  Soft Cell?  Franky Goes to Hollywood?  Scandal?  Falco?

    I have seen most of the top headliners on this festival over the decades. I would love to see Love and Rockets again.
