In a bad way I suppose, because Portishead are way downtempo for Arcadia. Though I've not been since the days where the firebreathing spider reigned supreme so maybe it's more chilled out nowadays after her removal from power.

It's not... But why not try something different?

The bit I don't get with this @blutarsky is curating a lineup that actively fucks you over as curator with the clashes!!!!  Unless your dream lineup also includes a Potter-esque time turner thingy so you can avoid missing anything :lol:

He did say it did in fairness ?

Fair point well made.  Maybe this is why so many of my communiques at work aren't particularly well-received :lol:

As you were Blutarsky, as you were...

Top of my most wanted list is Tom Waits, but I really don't know where he'd play. If he headlined the Pyramid I'd worry he wouldn't go down well with the casuals. A tent would be best for atmosphere but would be stupidly busy. Headline Other just seems a bit meh for such a legend. Despite being the greatest artist going I'm not sure how to make him work at the festival maybe the fantasy should just be another UK tour.

 

I think Emily said Tom Waits is an all time dream booking for her to get on the farm, so if he’s playing, it’ll be closing the Pyramid.

Which makes sense but I'd be seriously concerned that he'd lose a fair amount of the crowd. Definitely one you'd want to get in front of the crush barrier for. Never going to happen so it's probably not worth worrying about.

Every act that ever existed to pick from and your Saturday night headliner is the Foo Fighters?

I was more baffled with Fleetwood Mac on the Park and the Pixies on the Pyramid..... haha

So glad this thread is called "Dream" line up as its a massive dream that Tom Waits would headline the Pyramid stage.... I love his voice but I would hazard a guess most people under a certain age 50? don't even know who he is. Not a chance he is headlining the Pyramid in this or any other universe.

Which takes us back to my original point which is that there isn't a suitable slot at the festival for Mr Waits.

Of course there is... headlining Park stage maybe? or somewhere lower down on another stage? :D I think Park stage would suit him quite well.

As I was indeed! Naturally this lineup means any single act I want to see is going to clash with at least five other acts so black magic is essential.

Personal preference isn’t it... Pixies are one of my all time favourites. I’ve seen them multiple times and they’ve smashed it every time - I’ve literally sing along to every word. Love Fleetwood Mac too, but was imagining them as an unannounced Park stage early set. 

 

RE: Tom Waits, never playing is universally agreed is it?

If it was personal preference I'd put all my real favourites on the smaller stages as then you'd get a more intimate gig and bearing in mind a few years ago The Pixies were about 3 down on The Other Stage headlining The Park would probably be more likely. 

I don't think Emily would ever ok your list it falls so far short of 50/50 gender split.

Someone once suggested Rammstein on Arcadia....if we're going to go different, I'm all for that. Especially with it's new super industrial look!

(Obviously never going to happen though, before I get told off)

I've been waiting for this. And you have not disappointed. Particularly with that cheeky Tina addition.

Mine was about 60/40 I think. And that includes people like Judy Garland and Joni Mitchell who obviously aren’t going to play. It’s so bloody hard, I don’t envy the bookers at all.

At the moment I genuinely think the best and most exciting music is being made by women I could name about 10 acts that I was amazed weren't playing this year so I don't think it should be that hard. I appreciate at headliner level it might be trickier unless you go into the pop arena as there aren't as many female fronted rock bands but this year you could easily have added Ex:re, Gwenno, Stealing Sheep, Jane Weaver, Hinds, The Staves, Sleeper, Garbage and The Orielles.

I don’t think I would find it that difficult to book a 50/50 lineup if I was aiming for it, but given this is all time favourites and the historical dominance of men in the music industry, this was always going to be massively skewed.

Interesting as if I was doing an all time list mine would probably still be closer to the 50/50 despite the historical dominance of men. If I have the time I might have to do one.

Big fan of your Friday.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
