Teasing What Might Have Happened

In addition to missing that the Ozzy Osbourne tour has been rebooked for 2022, I also missed that Van Halen Planned Reunion for Farewell Tour. Here's the awesome part about that article:
Among the plans were for major special guests like Foo Fighters and Metallica to join the band in select cities.

Maybe that means in some cities, it would be Foo Fighters and Van Halen and, in other cities, it would be Metallica and Van Halen but, consider for a moment, if it actually meant that it would be a triple bill of The Foo Fighters, Metallica AND Van Halen in all the cities, with ALL of the bands playing a "normal" set of 2 hours, plus add an opening act like Volbeat.
I would schedule the shows to be only on Saturdays, not during the week, which would allow plenty of time for getting things from stadium to stadium. Oh, by the way, yes, this tour would play Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City (just saying)...
Doors Open at Noon
    Volbeat at 1
        Volbeat End at 2
1 hour Stage Change
    Foos at 3 PM [Setlist would not include "Times Like These"]
        Foos End 5 PM
1 hour Stage Change
    Metallica at 6 PM [Setlist would not include "Enter Sandman"]
        Metallica done at 8 PM
1 hour Stage Change
    Van Halen at 9 PM [Setlist would not include "Runnin' with the Devil"]
        Van Halen done @ 11
Jam Session with all bands 11 - 11:30, playing one tune from each band
    Volbeat - Devil's Bleeding Crown
        Foo Fighters - Times Like These
            Metallica - Enter Sandman
                Van Halen - Runnin' With the Devil
End of show
