What's your dream festival line up?

[glastonbore]

I'm not watching Glastonbury 2019 (Stormzy, George Ezra ) but am instead enjoying Glastonbury 1994 - Levellers!

I was there and it's still one of the best gigs on my list. Not that the Levellers ever let me down.

It got me thinking what my dream line up would be. I've seen loads of 'greats' at festivals but the music didn't translate well imo.

Seven acts only - dead or alive.

Here's mine, not in any order:

Rammstein
New Model Army
Levellers
Led Zeppelin
The Doors
Foo Fighters
Linkin Park

Green Day
Frank Turner
Oasis
Blondie
Prince
The Killers
David Bowie

Roni Size
Andy C
Goldie
Randall
Ltj Bukem
Calibre
Shy FX
Dillinja
Ed Rush
Optical
Phototek
Zinc
Fabio & Groove rider
DJ Hype

Fleetwood Mac- with Lindsey Buckingham.
The Eagles
ELO
Bob Marley
Dolly Parton with Kenny Rogers
Earth, Wind and Fire
The Rolling Stones

The Chemical Brothers
2 Many djs
Mr scruff
the Beatles
Jimi Hendrix
Bob Dylan
The Libertines

David Bowie
Kylie Minogue
James
Pink Floyd
ELO
Fleetwood Mac
Carly Simon

I was watching the Levellers last night- I thought it was live until today!

Mine would be -
The Levellers
The Cure
New Model Army
The Wonderstuff
INXS with MH
Bon Jovi

Leonard Cohen
The Eagles
John Denver
Joni Mitchell
Jeff Buckley
David Bowie
(I'd need to pick their set-list as well of course)

Oh and Rudolf Nureyev/Margot Fonteyn 'floating' around in the background

Best gig I ever went to

Kasabian
Reverend and the makers
Oasis

Soola, your festival sounds amazing!

Led Zeppelin
Prince
Queen
Fleetwood Mac
The Cure
The Smiths but only if Morrisey isn’t allowed to talk
Kate Bush
John Grant
Nirvana
Pink Floyd
SOAD

My 7 acts would be:

1. Editors - headlining
2. The Killers
3. Depeche Mode
4. Garbage
5. Bear's Den
6. Boy and Bear
7. Marina and the diamonds

But would happily give up any of those bands except Editors to have seen George Michael play

I am very jealous of Glasto though - Love The Killers, The Cure, George (sorry OP), Kylie (saw her in Sydney, she was fabulous) ; Bjorn again, Janet Jackson, Hozier, Proclaimers, Miley, Years and years, Two door cinema club, Wombats and Jeff Goldblum!
Spoilt for choice

I will swap Garbage for Kate Bush (have seen Shirley Manson, never seen Kate) thx pickle
and soola is correct wrt Fleetwood Mac - I saw them without Lindsey on behind the mask tour, just not the same without him.

Just got in from seeing the killers, so all gig buzzy!!
My perfect 7 ..
The Cure
The Mission
Foo fighters
Simon and garfunkel
Carole King
Beach boys
Ella Fitzgerald

Ooh, were they good mac Did you all sing along? Saw them in Leeds years back, bloody love Brandon live.

I think that I would have to go with Soola and her choice,as I like all those artists, and don't even know some that are mentioned. But being an oldie I would have put mostly 60 era groups and singers ha ha, and then been laughed off here.

Eminem
Linkin Park
Pink
Crystal Castles
Placebo
Eminem again

Oh and some early 00s pre-2007 era Black Eyes Peas.

Paul Simon
Pink Floyd
Kate Bush
Flaming Lips
Leonard Cohen
Talking Heads (feat Tom Tom Club - can I get away with that?)
The Kinks

Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Jimi Hendrix
Linkin Park
