Worst ever festival line up?

No one is invested enough in the V festival to care, and those that do go every year are likely to be more or less okay with the lineup. It's been pretty much a pop festival for years now. You'd have to be a particularly antidleluvian kind of dullard to get angry about it especially when Reading and numerous other bland Home Counties festivals already exist.

Couple of weeks back my teenage nephew told me that no-one goes to T in the Park for the bands, just the Slam tent.

aye, not all my cup of tea but some top notch stuff for an epic swedge fest nonetheless

Cornelius Pardew (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 25 February 2016 21:52 (eight years ago) link

a lot of festivals esp of an indie persuasion have the effect of assimilating even acts I like into a general soup of mediocrity when you're looking at the bill. the Slam tent does the inverse and makes me think I'd have a great time watching ppl I don't really care about (like Slam)

That's pretty much a flat-pack assembly festival dance lineup, you'll be able to see most of that lot at virtually any festival this summer. I'm pretty sure I read the phrase 'Jackmaster b2b Joy Orbison' more than I do 'Hello' in 2016.

Matt DC, Friday, 26 February 2016 16:41 (eight years ago) link

Obviously it's better than virtually anything on the main stages and I'm sure it'll do the job just fine, but there's nothing exciting or unique about it.

Is that a 90s-themed festival? Most of the acts seem to be 90s (with a few 80s) has-beens.

I made this silly thing ten years ago. Would apologize for the poor photoshopping, but who cares?

TBH I would prefer to go to this festival than most of those above.

Altern-8 playing => cannot be worst ever festival line-up

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 28 June 2016 15:06 (eight years ago) link

Who is in The Ramones 2016?!?!

i believe that one is from 1988.

How can Urban Cookie Collective still have gigs when Diane Charlemagne died last year? Blasphemy!

Tuomas, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 14:15 (eight years ago) link

five months pass...

I'm definitely going since Radiohead are playing my hometown for the first and only time ever but something a bit weird abt this one:

(probably 20-30 acts tba)

Loads of acts I'd very happily watch there.

chap, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 09:41 (seven years ago) link

likewise.
a lot more interestging than most of the uk festivals (if not all of the wones i have seen).

wones = ones

Moderat being billed higher than Blink 182 is pretty o_0 or do they play like arenas in that area of the world?

Vlogs from other credible bands such as Shed Seven (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 1 March 2017 09:59 (seven years ago) link

Do Blink 182 still play arenas in the other area of the world?

chap, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 10:05 (seven years ago) link

Oh Christ they still do here.

chap, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 10:30 (seven years ago) link

Agree that if that festival was going on in the UK it would be fairy refreshing

The best UK lineup I've seen so far (by far) is Safe As Milk, but it's £150 a ticket

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 March 2017 10:51 (seven years ago) link

Actually it's £200 but you get a berth

Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Wednesday, 1 March 2017 10:51 (seven years ago) link

had to sell my ticket for safe as milk :(

Things you were shockingly old to find out: Erasure are still together and performing! Had no idea.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:27 (seven years ago) link

was thinking the other day about how dull all of the mid-sized British festivals (and a lot of the smaller ones as well) look this year, everything boring 6Music-friendly schmindy with some half-decent dance music thrown in if you're lucky. Is it more homogeneous than in the past? Is it something to do with lack of Glastonbury this year meaning things will sell even if very dull?

Neil S, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:36 (seven years ago) link

glastonbury is happening this year .. its next year they are taking a break.

mark e, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:41 (seven years ago) link

ah okay, thanks. I suppose that can be ruled out as a cause then!

Neil S, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:43 (seven years ago) link

There are three kinds of UK festival
- Super-commercial one-dayers headlined by Bastille
- Hippie ska drug-fests headlined by Gentleman's Dub Club
- Posho adult-oriented camp-outs set in the beautifully rainy Cotswolds headlined by Joanna Newsom
