Commented WFUV PD RITA HOUSTON: "Live concerts on the radio is one of the things that sets FUV apart from other stations. Our annual FEASTIVAL is like the Best of the Best from each year. This year's lineup on THURSDAY and FRIDAY is pretty special, but to add BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN's historic set from METLIFE STADIUM as a bonus on WEDNESDAY night is sure to make this an even more memorable holiday weekend for all."
