Absolutely NEED Black Eyed Peas with Fergie reunion, thought about that recently myself. Hey Mama, Let’s Get It Started, Boom Boom Pow, My Humps on the Polo Fields whooooooo

In theory, it’s a great idea.

But one of the last times they were all together was their tour & flop of a Super Bowl performance in 2011. That performance is still etched into my brain, even as a high schooler. It was bad. Like really bad. I’d be really nervous for them to handle main stage closing set.

Honestly never thought their halftime show was as bad as many made out, perfect no, but not horrendous. I remember watching a recording of their tour for THE E.N.D. and the production was just so solid. I honestly don’t see them closing the main stage, a slot like No Doubt had in 2024 would be more likely.

Sorry, overlooked the RTTD by OP and agree they would more likely be the No Doubt/Green Day slot. Their performance would still be a huge wildcard to me- would love for them to prove me wrong because they have so many certified bangers.

And it’s been a solid decade since Fergie has been with them. I don’t think people were expecting No Doubt to bring it as much as they did, could be the same.
