Worst ever festival line up?

i feel like we've left this post unexamined for far too long

true, Buzzcocks first reunion was years before that

http://www.rock-fest.com/lineup

I win

I love the tag line for this: "Where We Just Rock"

and that red font that's used makes the line-up nearly illegible. (on purpose?)

You do win.

I can only imagine the crowd for this.

Also, promoter/webguy apparently thinks it's still 2014. Terrible line-up but I find it strange that Aerosmith has no where better to play than in the Cadott, WIS in the middle of July.

I can only imagine the crowd for this.

lol

Saw it on Twitter, 1000 responses that say "Charlotte H left Ash in 2011 and Jamie T has a female drummer"

So, yeah.

I'm surprised there's anyone in Britain who doesn't know that Jamie T has a female drummer.

Ultra is gonna have a special stage this year for people who, uh, hate Ultra

Great to see Bez on the same bill as Space Monkeys, one of whom he had a pre-arranged bare knuckle fight with a few years ago. Look at him bleeding like a pig

HAPPY Mondays star BEZ hits rock bottom as he is battered in a brutal bare-knuckle brawl.
The dancer - real name MARK BERRY - took part in the sickening underground scrap this week after a longrunning feud over his ex-fiancee Monica Ward.

He suffered angry-looking cuts and bruises in the organised bout - as did his furious love rival, SPACE MONKEYS bassist DOM MORRISON.

The fight was only stopped when a paid referee stepped in after 15 punishing minutes.
The shocking snaps, taken in a scrapyard office in central Manchester, mark the latest grim development in a bleak year for potless ex-Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez, 46.

In August city magistrates issued a two-year restraining order preventing him from contacting ex Monica, 43.

He was then fined £140 for breaking the order by sending her text messages last month.

Morrison is now thought to be in a relationship with Monica - with whom Bez has a two-year-old son, Leo.

A source said: "The fight's been the talk of Manchester for weeks. Two local brothers Anthony and Christopher Donnelly were involved in putting Bez and Dom in the same room to sort out their problems.

"It was really bitter and they only wanted to sort it out one way - with an old-fashioned straightener.

"They went at it like animals with a lot of blood and sweat. Bez looked cut up but gave as good as he got. It was a draw in the end and they both managed to walk away."

The source added: "Bez is having a horrible time right now. He's struggling to keep on top of things." Bez made his name in the '80s and '90s with his manic dancing and maracas with The Happy Mondays.

sad to see the depths to which uncle peter has fallen in the post-reeves and mortimer years

Sobering. How it would look if Reading and Leeds wasn’t a right old fucking racket

yeah me neither

if nobody shows up they can still claim there were tons of nano punks there

WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT NEW MASHUPS YOU CREATE!

"And introducing DAVE THE BUTCHER"

CLOCK PUNK. Surprised Broth Viking isn't on there.

this is their best event surely:

https://files.list.co.uk/images/i/imaginarium-x3-stargateimg-lst157034.jpg

For Imaginarium's third birthday, celebrate all that's sci-fi, Egyptian, mythical, god/goddesses and just regular out-there. A night of full-costumed, full-on house, techno, goth, cyber rave.
Imaginarium X3: Stargate:IMG

After scans reveal an unknown energy source on a forgotten desert planet the Voodoo Lynch Mob descend to the surface where they find a strange portal-like ring half submerged in the dunes. Deploying the crew and a brace of shuttles the relic is hauled back to the orbiting Imaginarium for further studies.

The Imaginarium's engineers hook it up to the starship's central computer but as they start to run tests there is a huge power surge, the lights go out and a golden, winged figure steps out of the gate. Wind and lightning swirl around the cargo bay and spheres of pulsating light fly out and enter the bodies of the Mob and their crew.

Guttural voices spring forth from the suddenly golden-robed Mob: 'I am Ra' 'I am Anubis' … It seems the captains have been possessed and it's time for an Egyptian adventure in Outer Rave Space.

Featuring the finest in London's underground DJ talent, incredible dancers, the finest costumes, the heaviest dance floor on the scene, full dungeon, couples area, interactive performances, fully custom decor and the friendliest, most accepting crowd in this greatest of earth's cities Imaginarium is ready to once again rock your body as we celebrate three years of Imaginarium.

Dress code: Egyptian mythology, sci-fi soldiers, gods and goddesses, creatures of gold, ancient warriors, slaves, fetish, goth, cyber, rave, sci fi or just plain out there.

No effort, no entry: no streetwear, just be fabulous.

wonder how many people just did the old bedsheet toga thing

Nah, people who go to those things go all out.

full-on house, techno, goth, cyber rave

This means psytrance and gabba, btw.

And maybe Depeche Mode and NIN pitched up.

I'm visiting imaginariumevents.com but am just getting the WordPress installer for the site.

pretty cyberpunk

Nah, people who go to those things go all out.

yeah you're right of course. there's a pretty big rave gear / dress-up-like-a-cyber-pirate shop in brighton and i always wonder how it keeps going - guess it's mostly nights like that. maybe i should go in there one day on some sort of psytrance mr ben adventure

every town must have a small but hardcore contingent of cybergoths and judging by the average indoor market, the clothing must be relatively cheap. the metalworks is a pretty big venue afaik, right?

Not really. It's the Slimelight club. I've seen bands like Chrome & Extreme Noise Terror there. Capacity is apparently 750 though.

It looks like a pound shop version of the FKA Twigs Two Weeks video, and given the Twigs crowd the other week appeared to be like 50% 20-year old lesbian goths I'd say they'd got it pretty much on-trend for their market.

ah didn't realise electrowerkz = metalworks

so anyway, London FAP?

not as bad as the OP, but the '15 lollapalooza lineup is pretty dreadful.

But, for some reason, 3 day passes appear to be sold out. Not that I'm interested or anything...

well yeah the 4-5 big headliners are reliable sellers, but that doesn't make it a good festival.

Looking upthread I reckon T still wins this one, would sooner listen to metal and Macca than banterladrock any day of the week. And I really hate metal and Macca

would love it if one of these fests would sneak an aerosmith logo at the bottom just to see if anyone notices

poor judas priest. what did they ever do to deserve this? bush probably did something to deserve this, but i feel bad for them anyway.

I dont. Seems like they will do anything for money if they appear on that bill.

Yes! Thanks Global T.
