Hanson performing at the Food & Wine Festival? (So Says Pollstar)

[That'sNotVeryMagical]

Time for me to admit it, I suppose, I'm a huge Hanson fan. Some other fans pointed out that Hanson is now listed on PollStar as performing at the Food and Wine Festival on Nov. 8 and Nov. 9. The only other artist listed for the F&W Festival is 38 Special, Oct. 20-21. (Link: http://www.pollstar.com/resultsVenue.aspx?ID=73818&SortBy=Date)

I've looked around, Disney has made no official announcement, Hanson hasn't either, and I'm just wondering if any one here has heard this or has more info, specifically if it's actually happening? It did show up yesterday, which isn't the best day to share news.

See, I've got this *brilliant* plan that involves riding all of my favorite WDW rides, eating my favorite WDW foods, and then seeing my favorite band, all in the same day, for hillarity's sake. They've played at the DTD House of Blues before, but if they were actually playing IN EPCOT, that would make it that much easier to execute the plan.

Thanks in advance!

Hmmmm if this is indeed true, maybe, just maybe I could convince the fiancee to take a second trip this year lol, if we can swing it....she loves Hanson...I'm sure she would love an excuse to go to WDW, especially if it involves them.

At first I read this and was like what? Then I said..OOOHHHH!! I see what you did lol

OMG!!!! I haven't heard about this but that would be sooooooo awesome!!!!! I love Hanson. I know they're all married, but they're just so handsome. I missed them at House of Blues because I had tickets to another show in Tampa that night, and I was so ANGRY!

I think I would swoon, and then pass out.

It looks like we get to see .38 Special this year. OH! how I love classic rock. Back To Paradise, Hold On Loosely, Teacher Teacher, Rockin' Into The Night, etc., etc., etc. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed Sister Sledge last year and Three Dog Night in 2006 but .38 Special will be great!!!!!!

 

[Orlando313]

Never heard of 38 Special.

Never heard of 38 Special.

You gotta be kidding. How old are you? You must still be a teenager.

[terbethk]

Whoops, double post

LOVE .38 Special. Will have to make a trip back if that one is true. The last two years En Vogue has been there during our trip. I like them, but sure would like a change.

Nah - if they were born in the eighties/late seventies, they may not have heard of .38 Special

Billsfan,

We love .38 Special as well. As a transplanted Buffalonian living in Kansas City, Hi! We will be at WDW from 15-23 Oct this year. Can't wait, go Sabres/Bills!!!!!!!!!!

I consider Steve Soares the gold standard and he has now confirmed Hanson.

Here's a question for everyone, for those of us who might wanna visit during this time, how does the festival work? I noticed the disney site said some stuff about buying tickets for certain events and so on, does this include the bands, do you need to buy tickets for them as well?
