    Yeah, here is what HRC said on Facebook:

    Hard Rock Calling

    We know you've been waiting for this for a LONG time - but we'll most likely have another headliner for you beginning of next week. It's a GOODIE! Not only that, we've got a lot more announcements coming, including Bruce supports for all you lovely, patient people.
