Ayreon.

Sure, it's a logistical nightmare. However, half of the singers/band has performed here (Floor, Allen, Wilson, Swano..) and I would imagine Arjen would be happy to do it, if the price was right and everyone was available.

As for the other, I'm expecting Iced Earth or Symphony X.
Granted he has more sponsor support for it but remember he's spreading money across 12 bands this year instead of 10 with a minimal rise in ticket price on top of the ridiculous rising hotel prices. Plus, he basically just confirmed there will be two power headliners and that completely tosses Ayreon out.
If he really wants to do an Ayreon/Star One set one day, something similar to the all star jam would be perfect. Get Arjen over and then any singer performing Th-Sa can participate. Doesn't necessarily have to be singers from past projects though that would be preferable.
