You won the lottery, your 2-day progrock festival!

Tell me please someone, am I missing something here....The Cure? What's this guy on? Not withstanding that people are entitled to eclectic tastes, but this is ludicrous!

Day one:

The Flower Kings (SWE) (headliners)
Sylvan (GER)
Aaron English Band (US)
Tea For Two (GER)


Day two:
Dream Theater (US) (headliners)
Celtic Frost (CH)

E

DAY ONE:

WOBBLER
WHITE WILLOW
PAATOS
VAN DER GRAFF GENERATOR


DAY TWO:

RIVERSIDE
NEBELNEST
GUAPO
PORCUPINE TREE

I'd spend all of my money to see two days of shows like this!

If I break your rule about recent bands I would change the line up to this:

Day One-eliminate Paatos, and have a reunion of the original 1969 line-up of
King Crimson as the headliner.

Day Two-eliminate Guapo and have the REAL Gabriel/Hackett Genesis as the headliner!

I'd go bankrupt to see a two day show like that!

Sorry but if I were ever lucky enough to be a millionaire, I don't intend to just waste it on a bunch of unknown's that wouldn't raise a ripple on the media scale...no, I would create a televised prog extravoganza along the lines of Live Aid, that a) Has the world reknown giants that are household names, with enough talent and appeal in the current day names to raise the profile of today's Prog music...so a mass audience go out and buy their albums...and b) I'd hopefully I'd make a profit on advertising, sponsorship, and TV rights...and then start building on the success, repeating it every two years, and maybe even creating a record company to develope this genre back to what it was 30 years ago!....all that, and I'm a rule breaker!...grins
