Your Own Music Festival

[Misanthrope]

One of the other forums I'm a member at is running a thread where people design their own music festivals, so I thought I might give it a go over here.

I'm going with a three stage event, but feel free to have more or less at your discretion. The only 'rule' is to not use bands that have broken up.

rammstein AND megaherz fans here, thats good, hehe how many understand them? rammstein put on some awesome live shows, saw them at BDO and at a festival in germany (similar to BDO)

i'd do a hip hop one, showcasing real hip hop artists and not the sh*t you hear on MTV and radio that is just poo

mine would be a 2 day event, it won't all be straight rapping, there would be acts from different aspects of hip hop culture and the chosen acts would depend on the chosen location due to different styles of hip hop in different areas, so i'm gonna say it's in NYC, with special acts from different areas to showcase diversity and harmony, and it's also hosted by chris rock to give some refreshing comedy value, the acts wouldn't perform too many songs, 3/4/5 maybe, both days would start around 9am and finish up at midnight

i cant think of a decent name for it

DAY ONE​

MORNING​

Mos Def & Talib Keli, Common, Jedi Mind Tricks, Joell Ortiz, Immortal Technique, Joe Budden, Papoose, D-Block, LL Cool J, M.O.P., Rhymefest

AFTERNOON​

from say, 12-1 would be DJ battles, judged by the crowd, and DJ's like DJ Green Lantern, DJ Premier, DJ Hi-Tek will show case their skills by putting on performances for the crowd

Rev. Run, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe Dee, Doug E Fresh, Ice T, KRS-One, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince (never split up at all! dumb people still think they did ) Juice Crew, Kurtis Blow

EVENING​

another intermission, this time a freestyle contest, judged by the crowd, before the last lot of performances, a huge screen will pay homage to rappers who have passed away

Busta Rhymes, KRS-One, Scarface, Royce Da 5'9", Tech N9ne, Bronze Nazareth, Showbiz & A.G, The Weathermen, A Tribe Called Quest

DAY TWO, MORNING​

day two would have some more "heavy hitters" from different styles

Damian "Junior Gong" Marley, Apathy, 7L & Esoteric, Blackalicious, Arsonists, Capone-N-Noreaga, Diamond D, Timbo King, El Da Sensei, Dead Prez, Juju, Chief Kamachi, Cypress Hill

EVENING​

last intermission, this time, freestyle battles, and another rememberance and deceased rappers

Wu-Tang Clan, Killah Priest, Mobb Deep, Nas, Jay-Z, Brooklyn Academy, Pumpkinhead, Q-Unique, Ras Kass, Redman, Erick Sermon, Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube MC Ren & Dr Dre (to perform solo and NWA sh*t)
