I am going to this, it is less than 2 days away!! I am so freakin excited! And yes Disturbed will be headlining the stage for the day they’re there. Also headlining is My Chemical Romance (awesome!!!) Sheryl Crow, Santana, Fergie, etc. There are 3 stages, 3 days, a headlining act for each stage and day. Its going to be AMAZING!!
^ They have multiple stages, Disturbed will probably headline a different stage (at least that is my understanding, I have never been to the event)
This festival always has to most “interesting” collection of different music.
How is Disturbed going to work between Santana and Matisyahu?
