Truth stage please! 

Carte blanche to bung on some metal these days, I can work in tandem with the Earache express, and I could steal a few up-for-it bands from the main stages who fancy a secret unannounced bit of down n dirty, and lots of late night sets. All good. 

My headliner (midnight) sets: 

Weezer (Thurs night) 

Gloryhammer (fri night) 

Roni Size (sat) 

Anaal Nathrakh (Sunday) 

id have unannounced sets from Neil Young and IDLES at some point over the weekend too. It would be marvellous. 

This guys gets it...

[Gnomicide]

Avalon. Obvs.

I'll have to give it some thought on a full lineup but headliners for this year would be Frank Turner (solo), Stiff Little Fingers and St Paul and The Broken Bones. 

[GlastoEls]

Mandala Stage cos I love it there.

[august1]

Interesting question. I don't feel like I have the musical knowledge to do any of the stages justice except for the other stage where the bar is low and the budget is vast.

[MrZigster]

I'd like to curate a "My Town Also Has Talent" venue.

I think a few of the stages there are curated in this manner maybe? With a lot of acts from Bristol and the surrounding areas (naturally).

There's a guy in my town that can play anything you request on a guitar. Left handed or right handed, strung either way. Proper savant like levels of wow.

Plus loads of now adults (but once younglings) who went through a local youth club music thing and who now have grade (turn it up to) 11 piano and/or drumming certificates and through that got residencies on cruise ships. In their mid twenties and have been around The World twice already.

My local music scene is great for a such small town.

Of course the crowd I'm referencing already play the local festivals. But they deserve a stage like Glastonbury.

I often say to these talented types, "If you'd been born in Camden you'd be world famous by now".

I'd have more punk over folk at Leftfield given the chance also.

Everyone's going to choose the Park, surely? First rule of efests is that when a band is rumoured/announced, if you like 'em, you reckon they're booked for the Park.

 

I don't like The Park stage.  Is that controversial?

I’d just go Pyramid and stick Daft Punk on for 72 hours. 

Miniscule of Sound (is that still on?)

I'd stick Daft Punk in there for 72 hours and not let anybody else in.

[zero000]

The entire SE corner so I could ban drum and bass for good.

[willutalk]

William's Green then I can say it's named after me with some feeling of authority.

[Fishman]

Good thread Benny .... and I was very excited last night thinking about my Glade line-up, only to come on here today and find Fuzz has already posted it! Good work.

The Glade has the best soundsystem, has shelter/shade and has a feel of the good ole-days. I'm not a megalomaniac so The Pyramid is probably beyond me.

Glade, without doubt. Intimate, tribal and the best soundsystem at the festival.

I'll have a think about my dream curated lineup and come back later...

my first choice would have been the Glade, since you have it , I would do Block 9 

 

Friday afternoon Techno replaced with Drum and Bass, sliding into Friday night Classic Trance

It's just one stage, @shuttlep!!

So, are you choosing Genosys?

(Excellent choice if you are, obviously...)

I think you mean this little beauty!!

Genosys, it is...

[Woffy]

I'll take charge of the Pyramid.

Flags are banned.

No chairs or picnic blankets any further forward than the big bank of speakers halfway back.

No getting on anyone's shoulders.

No Robbie Williams. Ever.

Then i'll go to the Park Stage.

I love your clamping down on the rules @bennyhana22

I've had a long think about this at work this morning and it would definitely be The Park. I started off by bankrolling it and having James Blake, Frank Ocean and Bon Iver headline with a secret set from The National but I guess that isn't really the point. Anyway, I love the Park and I've tried to stick to something that I think wouldn't look out of place there.

 

Friday

Flume / Jorja Smith / Local Natives / Dave / Maggie Rogers / Mahalia

Saturday

Belle and Sebastian / Beirut / Mount Kimbie / King Krule / Marika Hackman / Phoebe Bridgers

Sunday

MGMT / Kali Uchis / Jenny Lewis / AJ Tracey / Julie Byrne / The Japanese House

 

Do I get the job?

Turn Phoebe Bridgers into Better Oblivion Community Center (gods, I hope they play the Farm this summer...) and swap Beirut into the headline slot on Saturday, and you're hired!
