Candidates for Surprise Fourth Band at World Superbike
This announcement for the 2010 World Superbike USA weekend, to be formal, sounds freaking awesome. Part of the announcement describes a concert that is included with the ticket price, featuring Foreigner, Styx, Kansas, and “a possible surprise addition to be named later.”
So obviously there will definitely be another band that is even more awesome than those three, as hard as that is to believe.
Derrick and I already have our weekend tickets, so now we are speculating who the fourth band will be. The key traits for selection are:
- Awesomeness
- I like them
- I want them to come
- Pure awesomeness
Here are the top five obvious and likely candidates:
- Def Leppard — Def Leppard has toured with Styx and Foreigner within the past few years so they are a strong candidate to come again. And they are awesome.
- Journey — Journey has also toured with Styx, in particular, in the past. Plus they are awesome.
- Rush — Rush, pretty much the only good Canadian export, got snubbed by Canada when they didn’t get invited to perform at the Olympics. Also, awesome.
- Van Halen — I haven’t seen Van Halen since 2007. And even back then they didn’t come to Utah. They probably feel bad about this and so are planning to come for World Superbike. And awesome.
- Pink Floyd — The most likely candidate, both due to awesomeness and due to not having performed for like 15 years. Also, they are from Europe which means that, unlike you, they’ve actually heard of World Superbike.
It’s unlikely that all five of these bands will come, but hey, you never know.
