In 2003, the band reunited for a one-off appearance at Furnace Fest near downtown Birmingham , Alabama at the historic Sloss Furnaces . Furnace Fest, held August 15–17, 2003, was a festival of hard rock , alternative , indie , and emo acts from across the country. As the story went, the band said that they would be willing to play any show for a high price (assuming that no one would actually be willing to pay that amount), and the organizers at Furnace Fest called their bluff. Hum headlined Saturday night, playing a set and an encore. The band was reportedly dissatisfied with the performance, and actually preferred the surprise warm-up show they played in Champaign directly prior.
