Worst ever festival line up?

I have a friend who just got back from this cruise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Boat#The_Rock_Boat_XVIII

he's been in previous years. it sounds like a hell to me. no idea about the drug sneaking but I know they regularly try to sneak on liquor because I get a story about how many bottles the luggage checkers found versus how many they missed

that is the original rock cruise, the one that spawned all the others. former coworkers of mine have been attending since it began

I mean, on the rare occasion he's come back talking about a band I haven't heard of that was in the lineup that later breaks out

but more often there's an anecdote about some one-hit artist from the 90s who performed and then got drunk with everyone

a music fest w/that lineup and calling it "Victorious"....if they can make like Dunkirk and evacuate the concertgoers from that beach maybe.

I played at Shiiine a few months ago. Actually had an OK time, despite none of the three or so bands I actually liked playing that day.

As we were unloading I heard a band covering MGMT's 'Kids' in the distance, which I assumed was some covers band playing in one of the pub venues, but when they followed it up with Starsailor's 'Four To The Floor' I realised it was the sound of Starsailor themselves at work, adding something a little 'contemporary' to their set

I also got to watch Embrace alternate their hits with new material which contains millennial whoops and latter-day Take That-esque choruses in a no way desperate attempt to get on Radio 2. During this I noticed Lammo standing nearby.

Like I said, it was fun

awesome, good times!

REIGN IN BURR

Raining Blood by Slayer ft. Bonnie Tyler

A bunch of big name rappers and grime artists, some horrible horrible EDM DJs, oh and Slayer, fuck it why not?

It's in Iceland though, I doubt the population can support multiple large festivals aimed at multiple demographics, even if they are all hugely into music.

Glastonbury alone is like half the size of the entire population of Iceland.

I would totally attend a concert in Reykjavik to see Slayer, Stormzy and Gucci Mane in quick succession. Speaks to me as a family-type popular concert, and I'm not surprised there'd be Icelanders who're able to dig all three. I have strong doubts about the names below though.

Back to Beach presents "Gosh don't you miss the 90s" fest

Bonnie Tyler to bring back Reading '88 vibes

xpost Hepcat and original line-up Fishbone are classic.

wow never mind 1000 incarnations of the roses fest, see you in huntington beach april 28

I can't even tell you how happy I am that we live in a world where not only are Radioactive Sandwich, Kluster Phunk and Funkadelic Astronaut all real bands, but are all going to be in the same place at the same time.

Drawing on inspirations from classic funk bands and present day electronica, Funkadelic Astronaut blends the best of both worlds to provide a unique sound that they call “Funktronica”.

love dj harvey but it's no hedgesfest

Never even heard of anybody on there.

Acid Corbynism

how has this entire party not dissolved from embarrassment already

"(DJ + Percussion Set)" ftw

I hear Yanis Varoufakis is doing a secret set down the Rabbit Hole.

"pub quiz with Ed Miliband MP"

would go along if that was actually in my local.

(I would like to hear Stealing Sheep's Suffragette set, I like Stealing Sheep.)

oh man i LOVE them

how is there no stealing sheep thread, they're way more interesting than animal collective

i only know the first stealing sheep album but that was very good indeed

I wonder how we're supposed to pronounce "TWT"...

"pub quiz with Ed Miliband MP"

would go along if that was actually in my local.

I mean at this stage you'd probably only need to ask nicely.

This gig is making me side with not transforming the world

in fact these people are all exhausting, I might just turn gammon

oh the second one (from 2015) is super good too!

how bad is this, and if I go to see Future will I have extreme EDM fatigue?

the rl grime album represents all that is horrid abt this sort of shit

update: the price for even a single day is prohibitively expensive, holy shit

however commentary still welcome

god. just imagine. i love cashmere cat but not surrounded by that

oh if only this were real

ahhh ha ha ha at Toploader on TWO days

Hey! What's wrong with MC Paul Barman?

'gok wan dj set' is a perfectly proportioned and unflushable fragment just bobbing around my consciousness forever

Is Mel C going to be there while they play her mixtape? Or is this actually a DJ set?
