Your perfect music concert

Go on then, you're organising another Live 8, and you can pick any 10 current bands to play. They've got to be artists that are still touring (no Pink Floyd, Stone Roses, Smiths etc, and no Take That with Robbie Williams).

Here's mine:

Muse for an explosive start
Royksopp
Massive Attack
U2
R.E.M.
Bob Dylan
Kanye West
The Arcade Fire
Anthony and the Johnsons
Radiohead

It goes without saying that they'd all play my favourite songs, and any guest singers etc would be present.

Go on then, if you could put the perfect gig together, what would it be?

    Oooh fun, right:

    Isis
    Jesu
    Red Sparowes
    Pelican
    Callisto
    Twin Zero
    In Flames
    Borknagar
    Meshuggah
    Arch Enemy

    That would start off(from the bottom) with my heavier tastes in music and then calm down a bit at Twin Zero, get slightly heavier again with Callisto, and then an instrumental bit with Pelican and Red Sparowes. Jesu would be quite chilled out, and for the finish Isis would start off with 'So did we' from Panopticon.
    Damn I've thought about this too much...

    Or Led Zeppelin. Which sucks penis.

    I would, of course, have Robert Plant though. And he would, of course, play lots of Zep songs. Maybe a reunion of Plant & Page...

    But yeh, along with that would go:

    Snow Patrol
    Athlete
    Panic! At the Disco
    Green Day
    The Killers
    Foo Fighters

    Fuck knows who else. That was hard, man. It worries me that all the bands I like are so old that at least one member is dead :|.

    Whoops. Didn't read that bit.

    It renders all but Megadeth, Primus, AC/DC and Maiden null and void off my list then.
