Another thread about what festivals The Breakfast should play got me thinking:
What are the worst, funniest, most awkward, or most ironic band/fest mismatches you can think of?
Or you can go with
Worst, funniest, most awkward, or most ironic opener/headliner combo.
Here we go...
Band/fest
Eminem at Lilith Fair
Raffi at Ozzfest
Dave Matthews Band at a Phish fest
N*Sync at Bonnaroo (had to come up with one for Bonnaroo)
Opener/Headliner
Chris Brown opening for Ani Difranco
William Hung opening for Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, or Project Object
Medeski Martin and Wood opening for The Roots, opening for 311. (Oh wait, they really made a whole tour out of this in 2004, never mind!)
Indigo Girls opening for GWAR (Assuming the crowd is mostly GWAR fans since they\'re the headliner, this would actually work great if GWAR came out and ate the Indigo Girls in the middle of their set. GWAR fans would unanimously embrace it as the greatest moment in the band\'s history.)
Have at it!
