Both Westerberg and Stinson, on the other hand, have sounded more open and less cynical about the idea of reuniting in recent months, including a March interview with Time where Tommy said they plan to record again this summer and a new podcast with Tommy that made it all but certain they would work together again. They’ve always scoffed at the paychecks offered to them by bigger, trendier festivals to play their first reunion gig. Riot Fest has more of a punky, underground aesthetic that would suit them, but it is still big enough to at least offer something close to what Coachella might have paid them. Riot Fest’s previous reunion bragging-rights have included the Jesus & Mary Chain, Screeching Weasel and hometown heroes Naked Raygun.
UPDATE: Confirmed. Still not buying it.
