Worst ever festival line up?

wrong thread lol xp

xp Crowbar is dope.

rock is pretty sad. rock is getting into listening to dixieland in the 50s or 60s territory.

i mean like rawk rock. though indie rock can be pretty sad too.

buckcherry play all these fests and they are "newer" than people like sammy hagar obviously but the lead singer of buckcherry is pushing 50. rock = older than the hills.

rockfest - first I was thinking 'yeah I can see this being popular' but by the end I was like 'yeah no that's ludicrous'

i like alternate universe festivals though where i don't know who anyone is

lol other countries

other countries are totally alternate universes to me!

i mean they might as well be. i only read about them and see pictures of them during the newsreels before my westerns and gangster movies.

i still listen to feedtime a lot anyway...

i listened to the go-betweens last week....

it had never EVER occurred to me how much this song sounds like an echo & the bunnymen song until last week. how did i miss that after all this time? could totally be an echo b-side.

Speaking of Scott Stapp...

http://www.vanyaland.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Make-America-Rock-Again.jpg

will probably be a mushroom cloud of Aqua Velva

Saw this advertised in the paper today. Aside from the headliners, bits of Saturday are salvageable, but not Sunday.

IMO!

de la soul and steve mason (no idea what his more recent music is like) and then no thanks

(and actually I've seen de la soul at a festival before and it wasn't that great a show)

somehow I find "John Lewis Food Village" provides the grimmest lol

"Food? Yeah there's a Waitrose round the corner"

Now.

I'm not saying this is the worst festival, right?

Because this is the "Worst festival lineup" thread. Which is a different thing.

so:

Bluesfest returns to The O2 with
some of the world’s leading
blues-inspired artists. Chic feat
Nile Rodgers headline the Friday
night and Daryl Hall & John Oates plus very special guest Chris Isaak will play the Saturday.3

Now.

YGM?

every artist on that list rules. Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers are also playing. RULES.

As I say.

But: Bluesfest?

Hope And Glory fest mentioned upthread has gone totally tits up
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/live-hope-glory-festival-latest-13438301

this "cancelling festivals the day of" seems to be a new, innovative trend

Postponed until 1970 apparently

Usually these take the cake:

ROCK N' FUCKIN' ROLL

the Shiraz and Roll circuit

No line-up yet, and not sure just how much music there will be, but worth keeping an eye on for this thread: Conservatives to hold one-day festival after response to Jeremy Corbyn’s Glastonbury appearance

Mid Norfolk MP George Freeman is credited with the idea, the aim of which is said to be increasing the party’s grassroots support.

[...]

Now, the Financial Times reports he has raised £25,000 for the event, which will be held in September. Freeman said he had also had “some wonderful offers of help of sponsorship and venues” and the idea for a right wing festival “seems to have struck a chord”.

He likened the one-day festival to a “cross between Hay-on-Wye and the Latitude festival” and described it as a reaction to the “increasingly corporate, expensive and exclusive” Tory party conference.

Freeman’s event will be invitation-only, with only between 150 to 200 people to attend. He said it would be like a “first rave, you’ll remember who you brought.”

“Aim isn’t Glastonbury (!) More like grassroots #PoliticsFest: Big Tent. Philosophy. Culture,” he added on Twitter.

Emphasis mine etc. etc.

Rumoured line-up

Kate Bush is a conservative bastard?

Sadly, it seems that way (recent-ish interviews)

She thinks Theresa May is great

was not expecting this sad news when clicking on this thread

You could probably add Laura Marling to the bill, and Alex James of course. And might as well invite all the Blairite riff raff to this do as well, get fucking Lineker in there DJ'ing with Dan Hodges.

It would not surprise me that Laura Marling is a tory. Has she said as much?

It would be even less surprising than Kate Bush, cos Marling is the daughter of a baronet rather than a doctor. Or does that work the other way round? Fuck knows. My only evidence is that Marcello once referred to her as a "Tory twat".

The one time I had to endure her live show she came across as stuck up and self-involved, so I guess there was always that
