Something in the vein of that Sigur Ros concert in Icelandic countryside would be cool. Except red moon orientated and in somewhere in the British Isles, preferably some forest or natural beauty spot.
With enough effort and careful planning the audio visual spectacle could be absolutely amazing. Not too many people also, maybe ticketed to a couple hundred guests.
It wouldn't matter if the band don't "perform" as such. It could work easily as well as a video/live art performance/installation experience. Why should musicians, especially ones with such powerful visual connotations as BoC fence themselves in to the conventions of musical performance? From that recent article they conducted, it seemed to suggest the performance was the element which kept them back, and how the album material doesn't translate well to live performance structurally. With a contemporary art approach the 'concert' could be more gestural and free as opposed to literally trying to recreate the sound on the album.
Then again, a full band would be fantasic, much like how Bonobo/MBV does it live. If Kevin Shields/Simon Green can play songs live with guitars and samplers to a great level of accuracy why couldn't the brothers?
Red Moon/Hexagon Sun festival/exhibition would be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Or so the pictures I have in my head tell me

Would love for them to play at Rungnado May Day Stadium http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rungrado_May_Day_Stadium

This is why they'll never play live again, because our expectations are too great.

Alameda, obviously would be fitting. Red rocks is always a good place like someone else said. Death Valley, too. I've always associated BoC with the pacific northwest as I started listening to them while on vacation in Oregon and Washington. It's so lush and gorgeous while having that creepy vibe with the fog. Though this album makes more sense in a desert setting, or maybe even in a cornfield or barn. I also agree with the installation approach. It's hard to imagine them doing a conventional live show, especially the kind of show you see a lot of electronic acts doing these days (bleck!)

What about the salad bar at a decommissioned haunted sizzler ?
