If you were able to make a Music festival....

[Tarheels.]

Arctic Monkey's... opening for Muse... opening for Sigur Ros...

And I thought I was off when I wondered if specific bands were big >_<

Sigur Ros probably wouldn't be in the top bill, but the possibility of them going on right before Radiohead is something to jizz in my pants over. But I'd definitely have Arctic Monkeys opening for Muse.

From what I've experienced in America, Muse gets more play than the Arctic Monkeys.

So it would be more of Sigur < Arctic Monkeys < Muse, but oh well.

Yeah it's not so much Arctic Monkey's opening for Muse, it's kinda like they're on the bottom rung. Muse are massive though. I'm pretty sure they've cracked America quite well so I'd have thought they'd be nearer the top. Mind you, I'd probably see Muse - flip a coin to see the Chilli's or just go home from your concert anyways.

And I wouldn't even go near Dans >_<

[Tarheels.]

I'd see Dan's for Rage, Coheed, Billy Talent, Foo Fighters, and Get Cape but nothing else would do much for me.

Are epic metal fans the only people unrepresented on the festival scene? Seriously?

Honestly, Paganfest is in a couple of days. Check it out. Not a festival admittedly, but most of you would get your rocks off at it. Bloodstock?

Nobody said we were underepresented. Just a coincidence that the thread started and the first four replies were all epic metal

I jizzed my pants when Paganfest was announced, but I can't go And Bloodstock was awesome last year, too expensive this year though and I can't get the time off because I need it for the Maiden gig in Twickenham.

There's also Wacken, Grasspop, Bang Your Head, etc etc, but they involve going abroad. One year I'm gonna win the lottery, and do a European tour of all the big metal festivals

I'm sure we've done this before, but yeah, my dream festival would be rather eclectic (at least, in the cross over of different types of rock, metal etc).

Here goes nothing... (it'd have to be a 4-day super event to accommodate the number of 'top' bands I'd like to includel)

Iron Maiden | Metallica | Queen & Paul Rogers | Muse

Europe | Status Quo | Guns N' Roses | Megadeth | Dream Theater | Heart | Rush

Coheed & Cambria | Dragonforce | Blind Guardian | Sonata Arctica | Hanoi Rocks | Nightwish | AFI | Disturbed | Buckethead

Into Eternity | Moonsorrow | Amon Amarth | Wintersun | Lordi | Tyr | Alestorm | Norther | Turisas | Hammerfall

A whole host of others (obviously).

Something like that anyway.
