I'm having a festival in my garden - who's playing?

[JenaWren]

The sun is shining, the tent is up and I'm having a festival in my garden.

James are playing the lunchtime slot and the Killers might headline later.

Who else needs to join today's very exclusive lineup for one?

Elbow
Stone Roses
The Cure
Foo Fighters

Ooh @iklboo - that's an awesome line up. I've seen Elbow and the Stone Roses but never the Foos.

Cure are a great choice for the late afternoon slot. They're up next!

Zoe needs to come on and do Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Pulp please!

The Proclaimers and Turin Brakes are also excellent live.

Are you having a Legends slot?

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Queen

Great suggestions. Keep them coming.

@StrangerDaysAhoy absolutely. The Jam may have been mentioned but I'm open to ideas!

Annoyingly I just found out the Stone Roses are headlining the second stage. Not sure I'll have enough time to get back for the Killers.

Can we have Queens of the Stone Age please?

And Pink Floyd to do a chilled set around sunset. Thanks.

Metallica for the Rock(ery) stage?

@waterlego love the Proclaimers but think there might a riot if they played 500 mile. Pulp are on the list though

@RafalsTheKingOfClay the Chillis are on too. Sadly Queen are social isolating.

@Apolloanddaphne absolutely yes to Queen's of the Stone Age. Unfortunately I couldn't get blue smarties for Pink Floyd's rider so they've refused to go onstage.

George Ezra
Bastille

Well I insist on inviting myself if The Cure are playing! The rules don't apply if The Cure are playing, do they???!!!!

Dolly Parton for sure, she'd cheer anyone up!

Can The Who come please? Was meant to be seeing them last week and they’d definitely qualify for the Legends slot.

Ooh fab idea. I can contribute a bucket of cold cans, and some minging fruit gin I bought by accident.

Can Incubus play?

Pulp
Arcade Fire
The Pixies

Warm up Patrick Wolf, but about ten years ago when he was less odd.

Can we have Years and Years as a headliner? They’re doing (well one of them) some songs for my son later, so I can try and arrange a MN special!

James (good shout OP)
Supergrass
Oasis
Placebo
Beloved (for the chilled out vibe)
Blue Man Group
Stone Roses
Blossoms
The Police (legends slot)

Where do I pitch my tent?

Gin Blossoms
The View

@apolloanddaphne
Girl after my own heart. I was going to say queens of the Stone Age.

Also:
Them crooked vultures
Black keys

Oasis
Stone roses
Kings of Leon
The killers

@trappedsincesundaymorn - The Police can play Don't Stand So Close To Me and Every Breath You Take

Did the Beatles ever do festivals- were they a thing then?
