make 10 grand and you have to pay each band 10 grand. that's 40 you must make up with ticket sales, concessions, parking, etc. The normal deal. That said, who do you invite and why? 5 bands and they must be of the new wave and it has to be the CURRENT band. In other words, INXS with Hutchence can't happen. This band could be still together or broken up. YOu wanna make your money back and then some. Who you got and why are they your choice(s)?

*I am going to think about it.

Depeche Mode and The Cure for the gate, mostly. They still have huge followings. XTC, Gary Numan and Devo because I want to see that show. Tears For Fears as an alternate.

Throw in New Order as all three are still relevant. Talk Alan Wilder and Peter Hook into playing the gigs with their old bands and you won't need 2 more. But for the sake of argument, get Echo and the Bunnymen on the bill with OMD and I'll pay a premium price to see that concert.

The Cure for the gate.

Squeeze because, well, I want to see Squeeze.

Devo because they are awesome.

Siouxsie and the Banshees who will be a sneaky good draw.

Pet Shop Boys because I have a soft spot for them.

10 grand ain't paying for the big bands you're probably thinking of.

For me:

The Comstat Angels

My line-up with time slots. ( I'm making $$$ with this line-up and fans would travel across states for this).

4:00 - Echo & the Bunnymen

5:00 - Talking Heads

6:00 - Roxy Music

7:00 - The Cure

8:00 - Depeche Mode

oh, and I must add that I have seen all 5 in concert.

Tigers... Maybe U2's first album or 2 was considered New Wave but since their decades of playing, they are not considered New Wave.

The Clash -Joe Strummer died. This would not work.
