Phish would never open for WSP these days. Maybe if it was the early 90s.

People would be livid.

I wanted them incorporated but they didn't really fit with any other stage. I contemplated adding a folk/country stage, but decided against it since I didn't have a full list of people. That's why I just kinda tacked them on to the stage with the least bands at that point. I would like to add The Chambers to the list of local bands, though.

Not hating on those bands; was just curious as to the blues stage.

I do like the Louisiana stage idea. Id probably throw in something similar

Mine would not be run of the mill

Mew
dredg & Judgement Day
Hum
Opeth
Devin Townsend Project
Veto
Circa Survive
DeVotchKa
Dub Trio
Murder By Death
Sigur Ros

Each band would play a full set, none of that 35 minute crap that most festivals throw out.

Yea... I understand it would never happen for a number of reasons, but I think it would be a badass concept. Maybe if you could just convince the phanners that Phish just has the early time slot and they are not actually "opening" for Panic

Since I will have died of a heart attack, my first year lineup would probably be something like:

Jimi Hendrix
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Roy Buchanan
Rory Gallagher
Alvin Lee
Johnny Winter
Gary Moore

And that would just be the guitar hero stage.
