Good luck getting Bruce to perform for more than four hours across two days with two completely different setlists. :p

What kind of dates are those? Who the hell would go to a festival in the mountains in midwinter?:eek:
 
I should impose financial restrictions as well. You'd never be able to book Black Sabbath, Van Halen, KISS and Iron Maiden for one day. :lol:
 
What kind of an ideal fest is that? It has more restrictions that a U.S. military base. Mathematicians have no imagination... ::)

Sure, but Thunder Express flights are only included for Wednesday and Sunday.
 
Alright I came up with something. Beware, it’s a bizarre mix of jazz, electronic music, black metal but of course it also features classic, huge names. For this occasion I tended to be dictatorial when it comes to line-ups and a certain setlist. I was too lazy on the time schedule, but I am sure it will be ready in time. The running order is decided though! Last but not least, it will be a busy festival for Adrian Smith. Here goes:

TFFF (The Fantastic Forostar Festival, also known by critics as The Final Forostar Festival)
Vlieland, the Netherlands, 16-18 May 2014

Day One
McCoy Tyner (featuring Bobby Hutcherson, Richard Davis and Roy Haynes)
Herbie Hancock (featuring Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers)
Primal Rock Rebellion
Mahavishnu Orchestra (line-up of first two albums)
Wishbone Ash (the classic line-up featuring Ted Turner, Martin Turner, Andy Powell and Steve Upton)
Status Quo (playing solely material of the first half of the seventies)
Midnight Oil (this is the band I want to see most of all)

Day 2
Virgin Steele (Marriage of Heaven and Hell part II line-up)
Iron Savior (featuring Kai Hansen)
Iced Earth (Alive in Athens line-up)
Amorphis (Thousand Lakes line-up)
Tangerine Dream (combining the line-ups of the two greatest eras: Edgar Froese, Peter Baumann, Christopher Franke and Johannes Schmoelling)
Bruce Dickinson (Accident of Birth-era line-up)
Dire Straits (early line-up featuring the great Pick Withers on drums)

Day 3
Sear Bliss
Ancient
Gates of Ishtar
Killers (playing their whole Murder One album)
Metallica (it’s about time I get to see them)
David Gilmour (featuring Mason and Waters, playing lots of awesome Floyd from every decade)
Iron Maiden, playing the following setlist:

01. Caught Somewhere in Time
02. Mother Russia
03. Sea of Madness
04. The Fugitive (*expects comments that this festival cannot take place with this song* ;-) )
05. Genghis Khan
06. Deja-Vu
07. Virus (with special guest Blaze Bayley)
08. The Duellists
09. Transylvania
10. Run Silent Run Deep
11. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
12. Infinite Dreams
13. To Tame a Land

16. The Unbeliever (with once again special guest Blaze Bayley)
17. Only the Good Die Young

Yes! That sounds like a cool intro indeed. :)

Correct on Priest, but I especially focused on bands that I still wanted to see. ;-)
And besides: I don't find Halford that good anymore, live. I also thought of Sabbath with Tony Martin but he isn't that superb either anymore, live.


@BW: I almost had Seventh Son in it instead of The Fugitive but then I realized that I'd seen that one this year. The Fugitive was next in line, honestly! :)
 
I don't think Iron Maiden will play one setlist for your festival, Foro, and a completely different one for mine.
