[Insert Your Name Here]Fest

[livid]

If you were to create your own fest in the vein of an Ozzfest or Gigantour, who would be apart of the very first one? Would you try and go with stuff you like personally, or would you go for stuff that would sell tix like a mix of high profile bands/artists that have recognizable names.

I bring this up, after looking at people's comments about the whole Ozzfest shit going on on Blabbermouth and their "Miadenfest 2006 Lineups", etc.

Main Stage (Mainstream Stage):

Godsmack - Co-Headliner of the Main Stage

System of a Down - Co-Headliner of the Main Stage

Disturbed

TOOL

Korn

Black Label Society

Drowning Pool

Corrosion of Conformity

Nonpoint / Soil / Taproot / Seether / Chevelle / 10 Years - Alternating Opening Acts

Secondary Stage (Metal Stage):

Lamb of God - Dual Secondary Stage Headliner

Slipknot - Dual Secondary Stage Headliner

Killswitch Engage

Fear Factory

Hatebreed

In Flames

Unearth

Trivium

DevilDriver

God Forbid

Arch Enemy

Soilwork

American Head Charge

The Agony Scene / It Dies Today / A Life Once Lost / All That Remains / Throwdown / C.Y.N. / A Dozen Furies - Alternating Opening Acts

The headliners of each stage would alternate each date as the last act, as well as the same going for the opening acts on each stage.

So, what is your's?

[Farmer Reil]

I see Kraigy's idea for a festival is to schedule every band that ever put out a record and get them to play about two songs
