I think they need Plastic Tree, lynch., d’espairsray. This kind of bands
I m not sure ancafe is a safe choice. They were inactive for so long

They could probably easily get 7k sold if the headliner is Babymetal 
but I wouldn’t want that….

Depends on the length of the day. 10 JP bands, 2 EU bands. 2 days, meaning 6 bands per day. Assuming that the EU bands are small openers, they’ll probably get short sets (25-30 min)
Many western festivals have escalating set lengths (the first couple bands get 30 ish minutes, a headliner might get about an hour+)
All depends on when they start. If it’s an early afternoon start, all of the JP bands might be getting decent setlists.
I can’t speak for France specifically, but in North America, shows ending at 11:00-11:30 pm is pretty common

An Cafe is enough of a nostalgia hit for me that I’m eyeballing flight tickets now. I missed Jiluka when they were here in the states so it’d be cool to see them occupy such a large stage as my first impression too. lynch., MUCC, MdM, YFC/Gackt, L’arc/Hyde, La’chryma Christi, Kozi, D/Asagi… If any of them make it on the list I’m springing for it no matter what.
Versailles and Kamijo would be cool and I know Kamijo at least has a good relationship with Envolprod, but for reasons I can’t articulate I feel they wouldn’t be invited onto this bill (nothing bad, just vibes.)

I can only accept this if it’s a part of a package deal with pierrot

They are honestly incredible live. We’re going to have such an incredible time 
5 acts to go.. so far, only Kizu tickles me, although I am not nearly as obsessed as 2018-2020. I would probably still go, if only to support the effort but I hope, I will get one or two bands that really get me hyped up. Come oooon, MdM is a must! Schwarz Stein at least..
(Or give me a European Deep Sanctuary-MM revival because it’s ~France~. Ofc, this is delusional but a gal can dream. Hell, I would take Versailles although I saw them relatively often)
!!! LM.C my lovely moco changs that’s such a great addition 
please get A9 together again too and bring them

I haven’t seen lm.c live since 2008. I don’t know if it’s a must travel band for me to see but I am very interested in the last 5.
WOWZERS THATS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CHOICE

LM.C is out of the clear blue sky for me. I’d never have guessed them. I used to be a fan but haven’t listened in years. Still not quite getting me to buy a plane ticket

Do not underestimate the amount of tickets sold off to poor parents who will accompany the kids

damn, last time I saw LM.C was in 2008/9? They’re really fun but I didn’t expect to see them again lol their discog been really mid for several years now so I hope they focus on the classics
Since the festival is in France, it’s gonna be amazing if the EU opener is the Rise of the North Star who are a French band. The guys built their brand based on their obsession with Japan.
Not the biggest fan of their last two albums, but they still have released some amazing bangers since they last were here imo; Chameleon Dance, The BUDDHA, GaMuShaRa, JUST LIKE THIS!! come to mind on the top of my head
Last time I checked with LM.C was last year because I remembered them and assumed they had disbanded/retired years ago.
It’s a great band but I think they were already in steep decline a decade ago?
They really need bigger stuff if they want to sell those 14.000 tickets

The Last Rockstars alone would fill out a good majority of the venue, never underestimate the amount of Yoshiki/XJapan fans willing to pay/travel.
14000?
