There have been rumblings and rumors. New music from Tom Waits, you say? Come to TomWaits.com on Tuesday August 23rd, and Mr. Waits himself will set the record straight.
Would he headline? I mean among musicians and music fans he is huge, but to the general public I would think he is more of a Buffalo Springfield than a Stevie Wonder.
^^I've wondered that too. I'm really praying that he does not end up on Which, unless it's late night. If Roo somehow quacked up the sound on his set, that might be grounds for a festie divorce.
There are very few acts that could get me to buy a Roo ticket based on their name alone, and then spend an entire day waiting to get in the pit for their show - Tom Waits is one of them. He's actually the #1 act on my bucket list. But I thought he didn't do festivals? Oh well - no matter where he plays, I'll be there. It's just nice to be getting some new material.

He should be too. I've had the fortune of seeing him several times and it was beyond amazing.
Honestly the best case scenario would be putting him in a tent and putting some really big name bands opposite him. Waits at That, with Wilco on Which, Skrillex on This, and a good hip hop act at The Other would probably work out ok.
I have seen him twice at The Ryman, and Knoxville civic center, both times were really amazing. While Bonnaroo may not be a optimal venue for him, I make so many good music memories there I would love to see it.
hahahahahahahaha thats awesome. When is that clip from? I have been a die-hard Family Guy hater for awhile (except for its original run) but I've been seeing some of the newest season at a friends house and actually enjoying it. I've always liked American Dad too. Maybe Seth Macfarlane isn't the absolute worst...

I don't see Waits playing a festival, especially not an outdoor one. The last couple of tours were basically charted around what nice theaters he could play. He also doesn't seem like he would be interested in the buckets of money that would be thrown at him for a festival performance.
I could maybe see him doing something at a more boutique festival where he was playing in a reliable indoor environment. Big Ears would have been perfect if it was still around. Maybe an ATP, and I'm sure there are other European festivals that might fit that criteria. Maybe even Moog one year.

Supposed Big Ears is set to make a return for 2012 .. But with anything take that with a grain of salt.
