Saw Agalloch last month.....great show....they were really tight. It is funny....they have thier own smoke machine guy.

Tuatha De Danann should be at the top.
 
I agree, of course, I'd extend the time to give every band at least an hour. I'd love to swap Tuatha and Iced Earth in my lineup, but I was utterly floored by IE's live show, and I did NOT like IE going in. Sabaton must headline in my ultimate fest. as must Elvenking.
 
My personal tastes ultimate lineup.

Friday Night:

1. Necrophagist
2. Persuader
3. Ayreon
4. Riverside
5. Opeth

Saturday

1. Swallow the Sun
2. Nile
3. Nevermore
4. Katatonia
5. Pain of Salvation
 
You guys do know that most of you are forgetting two bands as there usually are 6 bands per day, right? Not to criticize but there's no way Ayreon or Avantasia couldn't be anything but a headliner due to the vast amount of money they would cost.

Anywhoo, my list.

Headliner: Blind Guardian
Dir Support: Wolf
Support: Anubis Gate
Support: Adagio
Support: Edgend
Support: Whyzdom

Headliner: Ayreon
Dir Support: Grave Digger
Support: Symphorce
Support: Memory Garden
Support: Echoes of Eternity
Support: Swashbuckle

1. I can't believe you're actually creating rules for a fantasy topic. Really? I mean, come on, there's no rhyme or reason to take this thread seriously at all except for free market research for Glenn. Want proof? Look at my lineup and tell me it has a shot in hell. Ever.

2. "Usually" implies commonality. However, there was only 1 year that a full 12 bands played. Other years, it has either been 10, or 11 bands. MOST of the time, it has been 10. But, the idea of this thread was 5 bands per night.

edit: oh and I'd like to replace Iron Savior for Persuader. ... well, I wouldn't LIKE to, but I had to drop someone. 6/10 returning bands seemed pretty heavy. I'd like some new blood in my fantasy lineup.

Did you mean Narnia or is there a different band called Naria? Regardless, I'd pay good money for this, even though I'm not fond of Annette.

Ihsahn would be bad ass. Probably won't happen though due to him being too heavy, even though he is VERY prog-oriented now. Regardless though, I'd give my left arm to see him at the festival. lol.
