If you were having a 2 day music festival what bands would you have as headline acts? They have got to be bands who are still alive.

I'd have Kasabian for the Saturday night as they are my current favourite band and would get the crowd going with their energetic tunes.

For the Sunday I'd have Blur playing all the classics from all their albums. Damon Albarn is a musical genius of our time.

The rolling stones and pink floyd would be my headliners. I have seen a lot of bands play festivals, but not these two. Can I also get David Bowie to support pink floyd and oasis to support the stones?

[Oisín]

dropkick murphys on the saturday
the pogues on the sunday

with a smattering of flogging molly, bouncing souls, NOFX, rancid, mighty mighty bosstones, anti-flag, audioslave, the levellers, the real mckenzies, dinosaur jnr, lars frederiksen & the bastards, the men they couldn't hang

fuck it, let's have bob dylan and the cure in there as well :lol:

oh and muse

fuck it, neil young too

oh and nick cave

this could go on for a long time :lol:


oh and eh, shakira. because i...er...really like her...eh...music ?

[jaybee1978]

Ok let's make it a festival with 10 bands each day then.

[Oisín]

ah well, i'll probably bomb out the might might bosstones then.

i'll maybe have a proper think about this later instead of just naming 20 bands/performers that sprang to mind at random.

I've decided on other bands.

Along with Kasabian on day 1 I'd have The Killers, Arcade Fire, The Libertines, Biffy Clyro, Editors, Jet, Razorlight, Jamiroquai and The View

Along with Blur I'd have The Charlatans, The Stone Roses, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, Guns N Roses (with Slash), The Verve, The Kinks, Ocean Colour Scene and Elton John
