The hilarious band/fest mismatch thread
« on: April 06, 2009, 12:18:26 am »
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!

Don\'t sweat it man. He\'s just jealous you probably get more and better gigs than his band.

the all-time winner for this, of course, was the tour where Hendrix opened for The Monkeys.

"Foxy Davey!!"

But i was in attendance for:

Rahzel at the vibes or was it the summit ?

Cannot remember exactly but that was a very uncomfortable set.

When he started in on the "hoo haa galore" refrain the groans from the audience were audible.
