Worst ever festival line up?

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

I'd assumed that the thread had been revived to talk about Wilderness ...

the sponsor banner at the bottom is amazing

£60's a lot for a quieter bar and different toilets

It is very reassuring that you can purchase Soylent Green Yeoman's Mash Pots at so many familiar and easily accessible discount stores.

love mash love mash pot

PARTYBABY

Would go to that. Incidentally, do you know S Club are now S Club 3?

My only evidence is that Marcello once referred to her as a "Tory twat".

Who hasn't Marcello referred to as a Tory twat? He probably says it to himself in the mirror in the mornings.

who actually is "tony roberts (as seen at NTAF 2016)"?

presumably not the actor who starred in several early woody allen movies

What the fuck is a Yeoman Mash Pot

I mean, I googled it, but

winning an ilx vegetables poll near you in mere hours

I love how people are so ready to write off Laura Marling because Marcell o called her a "twat"

This took me 5 seconds of googling

don't care what Kate Bush feels politically, she's as classic as it comes.

" a cryptic reference, Marling explains"

BastardBury isn't a real festival.

I'll pick you up when you arrive NV!

lol

oh I saw that advertised a long while back, might've even mentioned it on ILX

imagining "an evening with Bez" in a Force 9 in the middle of the North Sea is unenticing

scuttle the vessel for the good of all mankind

one time I did that crossing and it was so choppy that I was stood in this office somewhere in Leiden I think the next day and the whole floor felt like it was still going up and down

As a student I once crossed to Newcastle. We got into a brawl with some Newcastle lads who'd drank up before we took off. Fuckers broke my watch, and a friend of mine was too busy puking then entire trip to help us out. It's more or less exactly what I imagine this "cruise" to be.

yeah but with that Inspiral Carpet organ riff playing on a constant loop

imagine that ship roaming the seven seas like the Flying Indieman

omg I've just realised The Farm (acoustic), they'll be trawling for all the overboard jumpers for a month

the ferry doesn't even go to Amsterdam

No mercy xxxp

Aahhaha it's going to Rotterdam but that just doesn't sound as cool

they save that for the Beautiful Sou'wester cruise

This is amazing, from last years cruise. And indeed, the organ man, the organ.

if the novels of joseph conrad have taught me anything, bez is the one you can trust to come through in a typhoon

I could be wrong but I think a ticket on this thing is cheaper than a ferry ticket for the weekend, maybe I'll take some earplugs and go for a day out in Rotterdam
