Your dream metal festival line up

[PieceofMind89]

You can pick five bands(active and inactive).

Black Sabbath w/Ozzy(headliners) 105 minutes
Iron Maiden 105 minutes
Metallica 95 minutes
Judas Priest 90 minutes
Motorhead 75 minutes

 

[Perun]

Atlantean Kodex (Headliner)
Primordial
Moonsorrow
Nocte Obducta
Winterfylleth

But... what kind of festival only has five bands?

 

[The Flash]

Keeping it relatively realistic:

Opeth
Dream Theater
Meshuggah
Devin Townsend
Gojira

Combinations of this has already happened, one of them is still ongoing.

 

[Perun]

Yeah, Primordial/Moonsorrow actually happened this year, and I missed it. And I've seen Primordial and Winterfylleth on the same festival.

But... what kind of festival only has five bands?

What kind of festival has Metallica and Maiden as support acts?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Does it have to be metal?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Does it have to be a festival?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

How about a one day big indoor show?

 

[The Flash]

I suspect it has to be a metal festival, considering it says metal festival in the title.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I dreamt it was rained off.

 

[The Dissident]

Iron Maiden
Guns N Roses
Scorpions
Alter Bridge
Halestorm

If Guns aren't allowed bump Scorps and AB up and put Whitesnake in. Used current lineups to decide since Thinking about a festival with Zep and Ronnie Dio is just too much to bear

 

[Kalata]

Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Saxon
Accept
Manowar

That would be a big metal day....

Metallica wouldn't mind opening for Black Sabbath, same with Maiden(they did it on Ozzfest 2005).

 

[Forostar]

And Bruce said in 2007 on a festival that he thought "Sabbath" should have headlines (Heaven and Hell played earlier on the day, on the same stage).
Not sure if he would have said that if Ozzy was the singer that day. Probably not.

 

[Collin]

Iron Maiden (headliners) (2hrs)
Gojira (1hr)
Opeth (1hr)
Mastodon (50min)
Sabaton (40min)

 

[Mosh]

Keeping it relatively realistic:

Opeth
Devin Townsend
Gojira

Saw this live at Red Rocks last year (its the concert coming out on dvd next month). It was definitely the best lineup I’ve seen. Oddly enough, Opeth was not as good as the other two acts that night.

Iron Maiden (headliners) (2hrs)
Gojira (1hr)
Opeth (1hr)
Mastodon (50min)
Sabaton (40min)

This would be awesome.

 

[Collin]

This would be awesome.

I thought that would be ideal for a festival. Lots of good upcoming acts.

 

[Sth2112]

Battle beast
Marduk
Megadeth
Iron maiden
Metallica

 

[eddie666]

Slayer (with Jeff and Dave)
Motorhead (the dead three)
Nile (with Chief - but a long set including later stuff)
Venom (the first three)
Carach Angren

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

(active and inactive)

Well, since we can only have five.

Tenacious D (ft. Dio) - 30 mins
Black Sabbath (w/ Dio and Bill Ward performing Heaven and Hell in its entirety) - 45 mins
Heaven and Hell (w/ Vinny Appice performing select tracks off The Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and TDYK) - 65 mins

Rainbow (w/ Dio) - 90 mins
