Last night, during a long break between performers at a concert, some friends and I were killing time discussing "fantasty tour lineups." We set ourselves some limits though: a) the bands/performers had to be currently active b) no more than three bands per tour Listed in order from headliner to opener here's a few of the lineups I came up with: Gogol Bordello DeVotchKa Beirut Sufjan Stevens St. Vincent My Brightest Diamond Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Einstürzende Neubauten Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds Fantômas Secret Chiefs 3 Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Anyway, I figured it'd be ripe for discussion around here since this place is all about fantasy drafts and hypotheticals.
Here are four I would like to see: System of a Down Red Hot Chili Peppers NIN Citizen Cope Modest Mouse Soundtribe Sector 9 Chemical Brothers Basement Jaxx Daft Punk Mars Volta Muse Radiohead
If you're dreaming, might as well dream big. That lineup makes me think of this one. Black Lips King Khan & The Shrines Jay Reatard
Metallica Slayer Rage Against The Machine You gotta admit it would be fun. Plus, I'd probably sit down for most of Metallica but still enjoy it.
My Bloody Valentine Sonic Youth The Pixies I saw each this year but that would be an awesome line-up to see all together.
