Noel Gallagher is doing the rounds this year, and simply by personal preference I'd add him...

Otherwise that is a pretty exhaustive list!

Iron Maiden are on tour at the moment

The Big Four are doing a stadium/Festival tour
Metallica
Antrax
Megadeath
Slayer

Black Sabbath have reformed (well 3/4 of them since they shafted Bill Ward ) and are recording a new album and planning a tour

System of a Down are back

Was hoping you'd be able to add in a few metal acts

What will happen is that once I have enough names the musical acts will be put into pots ala the World Cup and then drawn so everyone gets a random selcetion of acts from a variety of genres, if they then wish to make their festival genre specific they'd have to barter and trade with others.

I could name loads of metal acts but creating a metal festival and piting it against a festival of acts people know and like on here isnt gonna win me points il just name the well known mainstream metal acts

You forgot

Steps
New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys (NKOTBBSB)

Do we also get to list what food will be for sale, ticket prices, and other stuff like that so we can thorougly rip off patrons?

I'd not thought as far as ticket prices, campsite availability or security arrangement!

If you wish to add flavour to it in that manner you can! Have riders for the singers etc!

I'm going to ban fires, smoking, and fun of any kind in the campsites. They can go to one of many 'FunZones' where they pay £10 for 10 minutes of unbridled fun (within the numerous restrictions).

Last idea, I promise, but how about a wildcard act to be signed? Say someone like Led Zep or Bowie. Basically anyone in the history of music, that you can use as you please?

I was contemplating a 'legends' act to be allowed if required but was undecided if that act could be someone that's died.

I'd say let it be anybody, although I can't see Mozart playing in the rain while drunk kids form a mosh pit. So maybe like, 50's onwards..? And I guess they'd have to make their selection on a first come first served basis via PM to avoid clashes.

That sounds fair enough

I think you should have bands like Pink Floyd and The Smiths - but charge extortionate fees for them, so it really blows the budget if someone wants them.

How about an extra list that people only get one from...

The Smiths
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
David Bowie
The Rolling Stones
Elvis
The Beatles
Jim Hendrix
The Doors
Nirvana
Michael Jackson
Madonna

Yeah that's pretty cool

Suppose we'd be looking at a 'draft' type thing with a random order then?

What about Whitney has she left all your hearts so soon

I think if it's a band who would need to reform - then we shouldn't just get one of them, we should have to pay massive bucks for them

Dicey Reilly wrote:What about Whitney has she left all your hearts so soon

Could write a song on those lines about always loving her? Wonder how that would go?

Just on the off chance of having Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Beady Eye could you for one night oly reform Oasis at a fee of course

if u chose an artist can u exeute them on stage

Headhunterz is the only one doing anything - the others are just pointing

Actually I know what they remind me of.

I'll move my Headhunterz forward 5 inches into cover then fire upon your Space Marines that are already pinned down from my Noisecontrollerz.

I can point!
