Take for what it's worth 

I will be on Vacation May 19-31 - so it is only PROPER that they return to Ohio after 13 years the 2 weeks I leave in May

With that being said.... I don't think PJ fits that festival.  Previous headliners have been much heavier bands than PJ (music style not popularity)

I can't imagine the crowd going from System of a Down, Korn, and Bring me the Horizon into a seated acoustic set featuring Wishlist, Elderly Woman and Sometimes

Not saying it’s a lock but I’ve thought for a while they were possible for this. For one thing, Sonic Temple is a bit of a rebrand. It only got one year to try it out but that year had Foo Fighters, ROTR has had RHCP..it’s not that big of a stretch. Two, Danny Wimmer tends to book his headliners as package deals to play multiple festivals and they just had them at Bourbon and Beyond last year. I think this clue is beyond a stretch, it’s not even the right kinda Yield sign, but I don’t think them playing the festival is impossible either. 

Also, DWP now controls Inkcarceration which is gonna be more of their metal fest. Sonic Temple def gonna have some metal but I think it’s changing a bit and will certainly have at least one more “alternative” style day. 

Thanks for the Info.  Wonder how a radius clause would affect Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit and Indy if they went the Sonic Temple route

Well, it’s certainly not a perfect comparison since the Nashville show had been onsale since 2020 and was sold out but it didn’t impact their decision to book them for Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville. Soundgarden played Rock on the Range in 2013 and also played Pittsburgh. My guess is PJ can do whatever they want and the festival would be thrilled to have them as a headliner. I’d be more concerned about the band feeling like that’s a check mark on this region than being restricted from playing nearby honestly.

Also, full disclosure I live in Columbus about a mile from the stadium and this would be a devils bargain even for me. I’d prefer to see them at Nationwide Arena again but considering the drought of Ohio shows and that Columbus isn’t even guaranteed to get the next Ohio show (I feel like the next arena date in Ohio will be Cleveland, that’s based on nothing but gut), I’ll take what I can get at this point. And be thrilled to get it.

Since it's almost been 13yrs,  a full month in Cleveland sounds about right.

Cleveland show would be a great chance to visit RRHOF.
