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?

Florence and the Machine

And can you please persuade Fluke to reform and put them in the dance tent?

TheStarryNight · 12/04/2020 16:20

Leftfield
George Clinton

Right now queen are running the show may have a bit James later and then some Adele when I get all maudlin and may even stick some carol king or don mclean on 😂

RuffleCrow · 12/04/2020 16:26

Blur! They'll always be my headline act Grin

RuffleCrow · 12/04/2020 16:27

I think the Beatles stopped playing live before Woodstock started? Think that was the first one

trappedsincesundaymorn · 12/04/2020 16:33

iklboo Grin As it's Easter the Roses will, of course, be blasting out Resurrection.

Nice work everyone. This festival is shaping up nicely. Liking the Dance Tent and the Rockery.

All socially responsible camping and gin drinking permitted.

@trappedsincesundaymorn Blossoms are an excellent shout. They're on as warm up for the DMAs.

Some excellent new ones here too. Wanders off to check Patrick Wolf and Incubus.

@SimonJT Years and Years are on the list. This festival is not just for old farts. Wanders off to see if Khalid is free for a surprise guest spot.

Can we squeeze Def Leppard in at the Rockery please?

Chemical Brothers on around midnight would be great as well please Smile

Rollergirl11 · 12/04/2020 19:28

The Strokes, New Order, Royal Blood

Can we have a new tent for the yungen’s (I’m also a bit partial) called ‘Life of Grime’ and have AJ Tracey, Dave and Drake headlining.

hellswelshy · 12/04/2020 19:40

Oooh..how about Bjork, The B52s and Talking Heads? And on the soul stage, Stevie Wonder! Then Arcade Fire. And maybe in the legend slot Lionel Richie!!

Curdsandwhey · 12/04/2020 23:10

Will there be a chillout area?

What about food stalls?

Will there be decent toilets or just those terrible portaloos?

Hedgesfullofbirds · 12/04/2020 23:23

Millie Jackson performing 'Sweet Music Man', followed by 'Slow Tongue' as the finale to conclude a festival to end all festivals, judging by the line up suggested so far

Bloc party
Pendulum
Kate Nash
Lily Allen
The kooks
Scouting for girls
Dolly Parton

REM
Manic Street Preachers
(I've not festivalled in a while)

MinesaPinot · 13/04/2020 11:28

Please tell me it's a two day event and that The Foo Fighters are headlining tonight.

I've got gin and tonic but no snacks so hopefully youve got food, and posh loos, and a beer tent in case I finish the gin.

Did I mention The Foo Fighters...?

Terralee · 13/04/2020 11:31

I want Chase n Status, Wilkinson, Tiesto, actually a Dance tent.

JenaWren · 13/04/2020 11:38

@MinesaPinot absolutely yes to 2 days.

@iklboo Bruce is a great suggestion for tonight's headliner.

@Terralee you're in charge of the dance tent. Make sure there's no dodgy stuff going on.

@covidnamechange Lily Allen and Kate Nash will be perfect for the afternoon slot. Looks like the sun will be out by then.

@MasterCat get the bar open - it must be time to crack open the gin.
