the ultimate festival

[sssVq]

just wondering what people thought would be the ultimate line up made up from bands past and present, dead or alive.

im thinking just name three for main stage and three for a smaller stage for each day - bearing in mind the ultimate bands to open a festival, see on the main stage rather than on a smaller tent stage (&vice versa) and indeed the ultimate bands to close the fest.

ive still got my thinking cap on but will post my thoughts drekly...

[jonojonojono]

got my top 3 for main stage...

friday: 1. thin lizzy; 2. ramones; 3. beatles

saturday: 1. nirvana; 2. foo fighters; 3. eels

sunday: 1. ac/dc; 2. metallica; 3. the clash

[fatKev]

hmm
what no room for the stranglers or the damned...

mind you they could go on the Radio 1 stage...

[jonojonojono]

thats what i was thinking - have them on the smaller stage but havent thought of the rest yet...

[Mike D]

Im sure a lot of you probably wouldnt agree with this, but here goes anyway:

Friday: Jimmy Eat World, At The Drive In, Weezer

Saturday: Andrew WK, Audioslave, Rage Against The Machine

Sunday: The Yo-Yo's, Alkaline Trio, Rocket From The Crypt

[Mike D]

Heres the Radio 1 Tent........

Friday : Thrice, The Mars Volta, Rival Schools

Saturday: Incubus, Deftones, System Of A Down

Sunday: Billy Talent, Hell Is For Heroes, Million Dead

okay, so some of these bands are more of a main stage band, and some of the main stage bands are a bit more suited to an intimate tent moment..........
.........so mix a few around a bit and I think it'll work out just fine!

Im pretty sure i'll get a heavy slating for this!!
