lets say you won 150 million bucks on the lottery and your not greedy so you decide to spend it all on throwing the biggest best festival EVER what bands would you bring and how would you set it up?
the name of mine would be festival of headliners
pearl jam radiohead david gilmour w/ roger waters phish the dead string cheese incident tool the gorillaz sir paul mccartney the rolling stones the who muse tom petty neil young bob dylan del mccoury keller williams sts9 the disco biscuits umphreys mcgee moe pretty lights bassnectar tiesto benny bennassi the glitch mob gov't mule the flaming lips
i'd keep my dream festival on the bonnaroo grounds and use so many lights around the campgrounds it would make even the sherwood forest look bad

Hmm. I'm pay for uber camping with backstage passes. That's about it. Superfly/AC works out the rest. Oh, and I'd pay to get the Sonic Forest back. Oh oh, and I'd supplement every vendor $2K for them to be on Shakedown. Winner of the best Shakedown setup gets $20K, 2nd gets $10K, 3rd $5K (qualification for top 3 include (1) you've created a club on Shakedown, (2) people like hanging out there)

I would find out how much Roo is paying the security company for the weekend, then I would double it and bribe them to let us have the run of the farm. There would also be twice the organization of parking and entrance into the farm. No 7 hour waits if my money is paying for it.
They know what they're doing, for the most part, in booking the acts.
The one change I'd make is a big Thursday headliner and late night.
A Thieve's Parade 2/24 Conspirator 2/26 Kevin Smith 3/11 Keller 3/17 Papadosio 3/18 JJ Grey 3/25 Bela Fleck/Edgar Meyer 3/26 Toubab Krewe 3/27 O'Death 4/11 Budos Band 4/22 EOTO 4/28 Summer Camp 5/6-29 All Good

I will play along...
My festival would be called Jumbled-Up Jukebox Jam 4 day festival
Headliners: Rage Against The Machine (Thursday Headliners)-Daft Punk (Friday LATE night headliner) -Foo Fighters Friday Headliner) -Paul McCartney and Ringo's All Star Band (Saturday Headliner)-FatBoy Slim & Soulwax (Saturday LATE night headliner)-Allman Bros.(Sunday evening closer)
Other Bands: Animal Collective-SoundGarden- Alice In Chains-Elvis Costello-Passion Pit-The Black Eyed Peas-Motorhead-Rob Thomas-Queens of the Stone Age-Wyclef and Friends-John Butler Trio-Robert Randolph and the Family Band-Willie Nelson-Les Claypool-Lynard Skynard-Lady GaGa-My Morning Jacket-My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult-Rollins Band-Hall and Oates-Ben Harper-MGMT-Point One-Carolina Liar-Lady Antebellum-DJ Shadow and man many more....
and finally a "Legends" stage featuring: Jethro Tull-Chuck Berry-B.B. King-Jerry Lee Lewis-Buddy Guy-Bob Segar and ending with Carlos Santana (with some of the legends coming back on stage to play as well)
The Setup: Huge farm similar to Bonnaroo and you get a bracelet depending on what you are: Jam band types get a tie-dye bracelet-Frat Boys get a yellow bracelet and a visor to match-Psychotic people get an ID bracelet in an event they hurt themselves and finally, cool people (like those in the know on inforoo) get a black and silver bracelet, which allows them instant VIP access at no additional charge.

I won't play fair. I'd get in touch somehow with David Byrne (first) and the rest of the Talking Heads (Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison) afterward offering them all a piece of that pie to play one live show together. Maybe offer it all to charity if it would get them together. THAT'S[/b] how much I wanna see them live together.
That's how cool I am. Beat that other lovers of Talking Heads. [/sarcasm]

You gotta spend it all on a $150 million fest! Mine would be on the roo grounds:
Thursday headliner: Local H
Friday Headliners: Soundgarden conflicts with Lil Wayne (I know, he'll be in prison for awhile) Friday Late Nite: Daft Punk main stage 11pm slot, running into Gorillaz and deadmau5.
Saturday Headliner: Paul McCartney, no conflicts. Saturday Late Nite: Allman Brothers play 11pm main stage slot, running into Superjam (Jimmy Page, Jack White, Eddie Vedder, Matt Cameron, Flea). Sasha.
Sunday Closer: Led Zeppelin, no conflicts.
Other artists: The Dead Wheather Umphreys Mcghee Dark Star Orchestra 311 A Perfect Circle Rage Against the Machine Dragonforce B.B. King Superdrag Grizzly Bear Drive-by Truckers Randy Travis Ween From Autumn to Ashes Mastadon (12pm Jimmy Buffett slot)
I would do all of the vending with my own money. I would sell glassware. I would sell liquor and wine there, too. And frozen margaritas. Any drinks and food will be permitted into the centerooish area. We would also build about 3,000 two-room air-conditioned cabins that could be rented for $100 bucks per day. Tickets to the festival would cost $220, flat. If I can get the rights, I'm calling it Waynestock.
I grew up worshipping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I'm still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I'm not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn't really feel all that different to me now.

If I won that much money, I would buy like 4 VW buses and just travel around the world going to shows with whoever I could find to fill them with, friends and family ;D
Having that much money I could just board a ship and travel to Europe with the vans, I think that is what I would probably do. Just show after show in different venues, big and small in different places all over the planet.

If I won the lottery, I'd try to use my winnings to help those less fortunate. If a few dollars can feed a family for days in certain parts of the world, imagine what hundreds of thousands could do.
Just kidding. Here's the lineup.
Headliners:
Radiohead Rolling Stones Talking Heads
Others:
The Word Manu Chao Roger Waters Neil Young & Crazy Horse DMB Furthur Gov't Mule Derek Trucks Band Herbie Hancock Dead Weather Rebirth Brass Band Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears Robert Randolph & the Family Band The Meters Gogol Bordello Elvis Costello Sharon Jones & the Dapkings Grace Potter & the Nocturnals Regina Spektor Prince Lyrics Born Buddy Guy Dr. John My Morning Jacket MMW Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk Booker T. Jones Keller Williams Angelique Kidjo Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Ben Harper Gillian Welch Bela Fleck
i cant come up with a list at the moment,but i have been saying every week when i get my megamillons and powerball tickets that i will buy the farm and keep the same people running it !
