Worst ever festival line up?

Vulfpeck are really popular and talented musicians but yeah Earth Wind And Fire frat band is absolutely the description

NNE Proudly Presents - BE HERE NOW - Paisley's first All Day indie festival - Saturday 29th September 2018 - Paisley Town Hall.

Hosted by Fools Gold Indie Clubnite, get set for a full day & night of iconic indie anthems with some of the country's finest tributes with a truly festival feel;

Confirmed bands so far;

Ocean Colour Scheme - Recreating the classic sounds of Ocean Colour Scene is no mean feet. With an attention to detail often missed by tributes, these guys deliver a true "close your eyes and it could be the real thing" experience. For fans of OCS, you won't want to miss what is a powerful and anthemic homage to the one of the UK's song-writing giants.

Loaded - the UK's hottest Primal Scream tribute deliver all the band's hits with a big band sound. Backed by brass, percussion and backing vocalists, the band have been ensuring audiences get their "Rocks" off to the classic anthems of Bobby Gillespie's legendary indie rockers

The Muldoons - The Muldoons originally formed in Paisley in 1989 and developed their much loved guitar based songs on the indie scene through the 90s. The band reformed in 2017 and, after a sell out comeback gig at Paisleys Bungalow, went on to finish 2017 supporting Inspiral Carpets Tom Hingley. 2018 kicked off with a spectacular sold out headline gig at Glasgows legendary King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, followed by a great set at O2 ABC Glasgow

God Like Genius - The UK's leading tribute to the music of iconic songwriter Noel Gallagher, God Like Genius deliver a journey from early Oasis classics through to High Flying Birds anthems.
The six piece band brings the big sound required to do justice to the songs that defined a generation.

Appy Mundays - Reliving the heady Madchester vibes of the infamous Hacienda, Appy Mundays bring you the cult classics and best-selling hits of Manchester's number one baggy band the Happy Mondays.

The Complete Stone Roses - The Complete Stone Roses are one of the UK’s most well-known, most seen and most successful tribute bands. Selling out venues across the UK and Ireland regularly, they have helped to carry on the music of one of the UK’s most influential bands - The Stone Roses. As tributes go, these guys are top of the tree....

So join us for what will be one of Paisley's biggest music events of the year.

I have trouble believing that there's a worse lineup than this ever.
They probably have NRA-sponsored shooting games at the midway.

"so yeah i just went through the CD binder in the floorboard of the Durango and made my list. crazy thing everyone was totally free and happy to do it."

“Blackberry Smoke”
“Buckcherry”
“Black Stone Cherry”

^ Ha! Was just about to mention that... what a hat trick!

I am hoping beyond hope that Osbourne, Frehley and members of Dirty Honey and Charlie Bonnet III's band get together for a jam session at a dingy beer bar under the moniker Ozzy's Dirty Acehole.

What are the chances that both Godsmack and Staind are missing from that line-up.

Have just seen this advertised on reddit:

Not necessarily terrible, but what a strange combination.

two English metal bands from the 1970s probably have a strong crossover in terms of listeners who would sit through both, if not in dedicated hardcore fanbase

feel like they probably would have had to play together before...

yup

Y’all like indie?

https://justlikeheavenfest.com/

i'm going, so all the hater can fuck off!

😂😘👍

oh no not indie

so let me explain, i'm going for MGMT and Beach House. getting YYY, Phoenix and Grizzly Bear (wink) seems like a bonus for $99.

It’s all good 🎹🎸🚢

That just like heaven festival should be called 10 year challenge festival. Most of those bands released probably their last best album in 2009.

I’d totally pay $100 to see them.

I kinda like that 10 year challenge festival idea... 2020 you get to choose a lineup of LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Black Keys, Sleigh Bells, Caribou, Yeasayer and Deerhunter.

2021: Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, St Vincent, Girls, Destroyer, Florence and the Machine, Yuck, M83

And so on

On 2028 you get Parquet Courts, Mitski, Rolling Blackouts CF, Idles, lets eat grandma and Carseat headrest

I mean I was assuming that's essentially its premise, rather than them having accidentally booked two dozen acts all strongly associated with a very specific era and demographic

(P.S. I know someone who is going on that cruise)

it's happening right now! aaaaaa!

"Just Added: TODD RUNDGREN"

helicoptering in!

You could certainly do worse than that for a Boomer rock cruise

the local media are generally unimpressed with the soul'd out festival lineup with the exception of leikeli47, i get the disappointment but the only one that really stands out is the continued inexplicable popularity of reggae mike love, who's above kadhja bonet for some reason

oh my god I wish reggae Mike Love’s artist name was actually Reggae Mike Love

http://i64.tinypic.com/2a9u0rq.jpg

That was worth the right-click

i like how noddy's puncture just made their logo their name in arial

still smarter than the logo approaches of "slillmarillion" and "afterslow"

i don't really have a choice but to call reggae mike love reggae mike love, there's literally no other way to differentiate him from non-reggae mike love

Is altres a band or the sponsor

possibly the best lineup, not the worst, but the most-bemusingly-conceived overall festival?

it’s just following in the uk’s footsteps.

susanna is a delightful interview!

Public Image Ltd With John Rotten Lydon From PiL

thread consistently delivers

Don't want to make any personal value judgments but thought you folks would be enthusiastic to see this

The Ticketmaster page reveals that this might be a concert series and therefore not a festival lineup per se, but there's more quality acts over in that direction

i expected to see the glastonbury lineup in here

Hereford Live made a strong claim last year (Peter Andre, Cheeky Girls, Midge Ure and one of the guys out of The Real Thing) but with this year expanded to two days and what I can only assume are the headliners announced, I think I can safely say this year has knocked it out of the park.

Saturday - Gareth Gates and Dappy (him out of N-Dubz)
Sunday - Cascada and Ultrabeat
