So during my husband's surprise visit this weekend we met some friends for a drink... as usually happens a couple drinks in some deep and well thought out questions were discussed... ok so that doesn't usually happen but one was pretty good that I thought I would pass it along!
If you had your own music festival what 5 bands (any time frame, any point in their careers, any music genre) would you have from opener to headliner?
So it seems like it should be pretty easy... until you head starts cramming all the bands that have ever meant anything to you. So how do you conquer such a huge task especially when your bound by deadlines of waiting babysitters, last call, and alcoholic tolerance? Here is my 3 step guide!
1. Immediately eliminate any band that you are holding onto for purely sentimental reasons. Example: The Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch" was playing on the radio the first time Stephen and I made out in a car, so that song does make me smile when I hear it but I would rather beat myself in the head than listen to a whole concert of them.
2.Before you mix genres make sure the mood of one band won't ruin the mood of the other.
3. In cases of unavoidable band additions remember that you can add a 3 band second stage!!
So after much deliberation I finally decided on my 5 (oh, ok 8) bands!
Second Stage: (Opener to Headliner) Flyleaf, Paramore, and No Doubt
Main Stage: (Opener to Headliner) Dave Matthews Band, Live, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
So now somebody with lots of money and connections throw me a concert!!
I'd love to hear everyone else's thoughts!
