You are putting together a 3 day festival in (your favorite city) and can choose anybody to close each night.

Who do you choose?

and add supporting acts too- i see people doing it and it makes this much more interesting.

For me its:
Night 1: The White Stripes w/ Black Keys
Night 2: Radiohead w/ The Mars Volta
Night 3: Pearl Jam w/ Kings of Leon

    Friday: Tom Waits
    Saturday: Pearl Jam
    Sunday: Godspeed You! Black Emperor


    The order is important. After Godspeed I could get hit by a bus and still die happy.

    For me a festival has to end with a dance act of somesort (not techno) after a day of rock.

    so... PJ, Muse, The Who, U2, NY, QOTSA, RATM, as "headliners" but then throw on a dance group to finish it off

    CLOSERS = Daft Punk, 2 Many DJ's, Faithless or Basement Jaxx
    Those groups all know how to throw a party to end a good days rockin

    Any festival worth its salt needs to have Me First & Gimmes, The Streets & Kaiser Chiefs too imo
