What would be your ultimate Metal Festival line up?

[Iced Earth Fan]

Nightwish
Dragon Force
Evergrey
Iron Maiden
Penumbra
Dimmu Borgir

HEAVY METAL SUMMER CAMP

A week in the woods with excessively loud music

The festival is divided between three stages: main stage, water stage, and cult stage. The main stage is your conventional field setup, a stadium's worth of hard-packed earth ringed with beer tents and portajohns. The water stage is set out on a wooden floating dock extending into the lake, with a natural amphitheater buit into the shore facing it. The cult stage is in a large adirondack shelter on top of one of the hills, requiring a long climb through dark forests to reach the smallish clearing.

Sunday is drive-in day; the bands got in overnight, and the roadies are busy setting up staging, unboxing pyro, and working out who is borrowing whose gear when as the fans start to come in, producing an unbroken five-mile line of beat-up vans, minibuses, old RVs, pickup trucks with beds full of thrashers, and dust-covered Camaros wending their way over the dirt road to the parking lots. Band members pick around, meeting up with old friends and bumming beers off tailgaters.

The live music starts at 2 PM on the first day on the main and water stages, and 4 PM on the cult stage, to give people a chance to put up their tents somewhere in the woods and walk to the venues. All bands except the night's headliners on each stage get 90-minute sets, and 30 minutes of setup/soundcheck time, which helps to ensure adequate time to get from one stage to the next. Closers play until the crowd breaks up.

Our province has Big Valley Jamboree (Country), Stage 13 (for rock bands),so I would have mine called Stage 666, like the others this one would be a 4 day event in Camrose Alberta Canada (I doubt it would be in Fort Mac, my city wouldn't know metal even if you shoved a sword up its ass.).

Evergrey
Blind Guardian
DIO
Judas Priest
Alice Cooper

2nd Day
