USANA is terrible.. it would be all seats (no GA) and the food there is incredibly expensive.. besides there are like only 2 ways to get in there.. (unlike the salt palace or fairgrounds)

regardless.. i would love to see more punk bands there.. Social D last year was great to see..

as for bands:

Billy Talent
Bouncing Souls
Tiger Army
Supersuckers
The Phenomenauts
Bad Religion
Eve 6 (yeah, they are touring again)
Dash Rip Rock
Pennywise
Flogging Molly

umong others.. but I would love to see more “psychobilly” or “rockabilly” type bands at an event like this.

I’d love to see Say Anything at the big ass show. A very energetic show. Love em’.

.... Do I even have to say Reel Big Fish?

Presidents of The United States.

Maybe a little.... Aquabats?

If I had the Big Ass Show my way, it would be an all-ska show. Which is exactly why I’m just the web guy!!!

-Zack

OH YEAH BABY I LOVE THE BIG ASS SHOW.... WHO DO I WANNA SEE THERE??? HMM???

PENNYWISE
UNWRITTEN LAW
RED JUMPSUITE APPERATUS
SAYANYTHING
LUDO
BROBECKS
BROKE CITY
YELLOW CARD (IS ALWAYS A GREAT PICK)
SAOSIN
COHEED AND CAMBREA
LINKIN PARK (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE)

I COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT I’LL LEAVE IT AT THAT…
LOVE YOU GUYS!

OH WAIT WAIT WAIT I HAVE A COUPLE MORE I HAVE TO PUT DOWN.....

SMILE EMPTY SOUL
FINGER ELEVEN
PARAMORE
SICK PUPPIES
SEETHER
BRAND NEW

THERE NOW MY LIST IS COMPLETE! STILL LOVE YOU GUYS =)

Would you please reconsider the venue for the Big Ass Show?  My kids and I go every year.  We really like going to the fairpark and being outside for one of the last nice days of the year.  I realize weather can be unpredictable.  Nice save last year, by the way. USANA would seem like one long assed concert, whereas having it outside makes it an event. Just an opinion, we’ll go anyway, wherever.

Bands that I would be insanely happy about:
Say Anything
The Matches
Modest Mouse
Blue October
Flobots
Manchester Orchestra
Weatherbox
Family Force 5
Rise Against
Silversun Pickups
Billy Talent
I could go on forever.

I don’t know… I kind of like the idea of having it at USANA. I think it would be cool. But that’s just my 2 cents.

I missed a few, samjohnson has some good tastes in music! Weatherbox / Say Anything would be awesome. And I totally forgot about Modest Mouse.... I would LOVE to see them live. I haven’t had the chance to yet!

< ass kiss > Either way, Todd always does a kickass job of finding cool bands. < / ass kiss>

Let’s just say anything in the top 100 would be an awesome show for me.

Well I’d like to see Pixies and Radiohead would be two really cool main bands! If you could get one of them I would so go to the show! Some others I’d like to see would be Dropkick Murphys,Flogging Molly,Vampire Weekend,Kooks,Bloc Party,Arcade Fire,REM,Jet,Panic At The Disco,Stars and some others!

I have to say I’m uneasy about the USANA move but if the bands are good I’ll go where ever you have the show. =) I’d love to see a few of the bands mentioned above like Smile Empty Soul, Seether, Broke City, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Blue October, Rise Against, Paramore, Coheed and Cambria, Presidents of the United States of America, Reel Big Fish, and Story of the Year is always a good show.

Embrace Usana! It shall be fun!! C’monnnnn....

I like USANA as a venue,but I think it would be horrible for a festival type concert, and parking and venue access stink.

I would love to see:

+44
Alkaline Trio
AFI
Armor for Sleep
Funeral for a Friend
Hawthorne Heights
Letter Kills
Matchbook Romance
Motion City Soundtrack
Relient K
Rise Against
Rufio
Senses Fail
Silversun Pickups
Sparta
Under Oath

Vampire Weekend
Bouncing Souls
Tiger Army
Supersuckers
The Phenomenauts
Bad Religion
Pennywise
Flogging Molly
Goldfinger
I agree more rockabilly and psychobilly.

-Dagget

How about Angels and Airwaves?

Coheed and Cambria
AFI
Brand New
Weezer
The Used
Goldfinger
Thrice
Alkaline Trio
Flogging Molly
Chiodos
Story of the Year
Linkin Park?
Yellowcard

Vampire Weekend would be pretty cool to have… and Goldfinger. Yes? Goldfinger? I do believe so. Love em’.

half of these bands people are listing are at warped tour. and if you want to see them at the fairgrounds, then just go to warped tour. wow.
weezer would be awesome. lets also try to get ludo back. i really enjoyed them at the rock in uvu.

i totally disagree with the usana haters...it’s a great venue. there ARE seats at usana..and there aren’t any seats at the fairpark, so what was the first commenter talking about?

as far as bands, i vote for LESS punk bands - that is what the warped tour is for. i want to see some bands that are more rock and even a rock/hip hop combo.

here’s my list:

paramore
against me!
korn
rise against
the killers
jurassic 5
something corporate
plain white t’s
lo pro
shiny toy guns
smashing pumpkins

please DON’T have
the used
yellowcard
did i mention the used?
snow patrol

byugolfstud, Weezer? You kidding?

If the big ass show was able to book Weezer… it would be....

“THE X96 BIG ASS SHOW. FEATURING:

WEEZER.
THE PHENOMENAUTS.”

And that’s it. Why? Because Weezer is EXPENSIVE.

I wish… but.... not likely.
