I am disappointed Jimmy Page wasn’t added though. They are not saying more artists will be added anymore… but who knows! Maybe we’ll get a surprise appearance from Jimmy or even Paul McCartney.”
Magicgoathead said, “I’m intrigued to what all they’ll be playing. This has to be the biggest tribute show to someone who wasn’t a lead singer for the band they’re known for.
We’ll definitely hear some covers of Taylor’s solo material, but I doubt that’ll be it.
I’m assuming Foo Fighters will be somewhat of the house band and then Dave will tell some stories and such. They’ll do some FF songs, but mostly play with others. Probably hear Queen play songs that Taylor loved too, stuff like that.
Intrigued to see this. Sucks it’s happening, but I hope this is as good of a show as it can be.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if Paul was a surprise guest, if nothing else as support for Dave. I’m more doubtful about Jimmy though he did post a really nice message on Instagram after T passed.
Chevy Metal members will be there plus Chris Chaney (Coattail Riders, NHC) so they could be house band (at least for guitar and bass). At the Chris Cornell tribute Soundgarden wasn’t on stage the whole time. I believe they did a set at the end (T sang a couple songs).”
