I have recently seen rumors that there might be a 40th anniversary of Woodstock 1969 this year but it looks like it will not happen in any form recognizable to the original event. when I tried to think of who they'd get to play it now-a-days I had a really hard time thinking of appropriate acts that would have the same relevance as it did back then... maybe I give those old classic bands too much credit but they sure seemed more epic than anybody we have around today. (did you know that Sha-Na-Na played Woodstock!?!? click above to read who played and what songs they payed)
so, I thought we should make our own Woodstock 09 dream lineup. who are some bands that would be good to have in a 3 day/night outdoor concert in 2009? no wrong answers are possible, just lots of good suggestions of bands that are active today.

That's a great link Sean, thanks for posting that. There are some really good festivals like this going on. both Bonnaroo and Rothbury have great lineups this year.
www.bonnaroo.com
www.rothburyfestival.com
yeah there are some cool bands and tons i don't know that might be cool. I've never been to such a concert/festival thing looks kinda fun and both of them are nearby (TN or MI) and rothbury is pretty cheap!
anyone actually going?!?
I've been to Bonnaroo twice. It's great, especially if you get a hotel room nearby. The first year I camped, and by the second day of not sleeping and being covered with mud, it was hard to really enjoy all the music. The second year was much better, I actually prepared ahead, booked a room, and had money for food.
My dream line up (at least some bands that are my personal favorites):
Smashing Pumpkins
The Killers
Muse
Interpol
The Shins
Kings of Leon
Nada Surf
Incubus
Hum
Luscious Jackson
Metric
Silversun Pickups
that's all for now!
