Uniformity!

The reason I do not go to these shows is due to my lack of desire to shell out a fortune to see the one or two bands I am interested in play a short set. It's all a scam now; variety attracts each band's core following in the hopes that they will come just for that one act.... and it works.

I am actually ok with a variety, but they need to coordinate the similar bands to be together.

I agree. There are certain musical styles and genres that compliment each other well. It's when you start including bands that are polar extremes of one another in terms of sound, content, and target audience, that you start to have problems.

This is the main reason I've never been to any of these festivals. Voodoo has a few bands I want to see every year, usually the headliner even, but I don't want to sit through ten hours of crap I don't care about until the headliner comes on. I also don't want to get there late and see the band on the big screen from half a mile away. Fun Fun Fun Fest has done it right the past few years by having three distinct stages with a different genre on each stage. Having Slayer open for Outkast is just stupid. Slayer fans don't want to be surrounded by Outkast fans and Outkast fans don't want to sit through Slayer. Festivals aren't doing anyone a favor with these stupid lineups.
