Just out of curiosity, if you could choose a 1 day line up for next year which bands would you go for. Clearly they can't be "too big" (for me I'd be looking for Queensryche).
Maybe all 6 or 7 could be worthy headliners.
I think I'd go for something like (in no order):
Enuff Z Nuff
White Lion
Ratt
Wig Wam
Dokken
Tyketto (again)
and Tesla
I'd also have a sleaze day with:
LA Guns
Vain
Hanoi Rocks
Love Hate
Faster Pussycat
Bullet Boys
In all honesty I just hope that we get Firefest VI.
Oh come on people, be realistic. Bon Jovi? Def Leppard? Bruce, Keiran & co already have a hard time breaking even with the line-ups they have now.
For me, this year's event came pretty close to a dream line-up. So many great acts there... this was one amazing weekend. Also, I think the 2 days event + a nice & cosy meet & greet on the Friday - with an acoustic set - works out best.
That said, I definitely hope there will be another Firefest, and if (when) that happens, I would love to see Rick Springfield as headliner. Until recently I would have thought that impossible as well, but now that he's on Angelmilk records, with some help from Andrew McNeice... who knows.
Y&T (special favourite band)
White Sister (ohhhhh pretty please...)
Jeff Soooo Sexy (errrr i mean Scott Soto)
Glyder (great support to Y&T this year)
Ratt
Crimes of Passion
I've thought about my previous reply, mentioning Rick Springfield as a headliner... and about how I would fill the rest of the day. if I could choose the line-up for one day of the next Firefest, it would be something like this:
* Rick Springfield
* Gotthard
* Vaughn (Danny Vaughn & band playing stuff from his entire career, not only Tyketto)
* Final Frontier
* Last Autumns Dream
* Robin Beck
* H.E.A.T. (would love to see them back, with their own singer)
