Massive Rock Festivals?

[PhoenixOrion]

it would be nice to hit a few of these monster rock festivals around the world.

I've been to several but they're only 1-day with 10-12 bands.
When I mean "monster" or "massive" I'm talking about minimum 3-days and 60 bands or more AND internationally known headliners every night, none of those obscure local band as the first night headliner.

Quick google search I'm able to find these: any others?

1. Bonnaroo - Manchester, Tennessee
2. Woodstock - New York
3. Sasquatch - somewhere in Washington
4. Summerfest - downtown milwaukee
5. fuji rock festival - japan
6. pentaport rock festival - korea
7. music midtown - atlanta. not sure if this is a one-day or multiple days??

I'm going to the first annual Hedgpeth Festival in Twin Lakes, WI tonight. I'm going primarily for They Might Be Giants, but The Flaming Lips are headlining night #1.

It's 2 days.

Nice! 130 bands, 8 stages.

I went to Lollapalooza I think it was 1996 but I thought it was only 1-day with RHCP and PJam headliners.

Some of my friends flew to Korea for this weekend's Pentaport Rock Festival. - 66 bands 3 days.

I told them not to come back without pictures of Fergie's legs when she's on stage (Black Eyed Peas).

They just got back to their hotel 3 hours ago (5AM in the morning their time).

No legs but the abs!

It blows my mind that people will come here from MAryland, 4 years in a row, and I have never been once. Maybe next year!

Pitchfork Music Festival is going on right now in Chicago Union Park. 40 bands in 2 days. Good bands too. I was at the opening party yesterday. Sunset Rubdown, Voxtrot, The Joggers played and Todd Barry, Eugene Mirman and Aziz Ansari performed. It was awesome!
