Worst ever festival line up?

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.

"The 3 amigos venture off on a quality weekend of live music and good times. "

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

You're not wrong, by the looks of it, 159,- is cheap.

Looking at that video, does it just.. stop at 4 in the afternoon? Didn't seem to be a single frame of night-time activity.

after 4pm is reserved for the keelhauling of the minor indie celebrities

I was running late for work after feeling compelled to read the entire exchange about this mini-cruise

thanks lads, good humorous start to my day

forward slash means you only get whichever one turns up

Is one able to sneak drugs onto these 'music cruises' or is security tight enough that you're stuck buying 11 dollar coors light

not even sure you can smoke inside on the ferry nowadays and it would be physically impossible to do it on deck in March

With Bez on board I think they'll turn a blind eye

I have a friend who just got back from this cruise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Boat#The_Rock_Boat_XVIII

he's been in previous years. it sounds like a hell to me. no idea about the drug sneaking but I know they regularly try to sneak on liquor because I get a story about how many bottles the luggage checkers found versus how many they missed

that is the original rock cruise, the one that spawned all the others. former coworkers of mine have been attending since it began

I mean, on the rare occasion he's come back talking about a band I haven't heard of that was in the lineup that later breaks out

but more often there's an anecdote about some one-hit artist from the 90s who performed and then got drunk with everyone

a music fest w/that lineup and calling it "Victorious"....if they can make like Dunkirk and evacuate the concertgoers from that beach maybe.

I played at Shiiine a few months ago. Actually had an OK time, despite none of the three or so bands I actually liked playing that day.

As we were unloading I heard a band covering MGMT's 'Kids' in the distance, which I assumed was some covers band playing in one of the pub venues, but when they followed it up with Starsailor's 'Four To The Floor' I realised it was the sound of Starsailor themselves at work, adding something a little 'contemporary' to their set

I also got to watch Embrace alternate their hits with new material which contains millennial whoops and latter-day Take That-esque choruses in a no way desperate attempt to get on Radio 2. During this I noticed Lammo standing nearby.

Like I said, it was fun

awesome, good times!

Not the worst, just the most WTF??

looks fake but it's not fake

hopin for a Slayer/Gucci Mane collabo set

REIGN IN BURR

generate a random list of musical acts, sort by popularity, put on a festival poster, done

Raining Blood by Slayer ft. Bonnie Tyler

A bunch of big name rappers and grime artists, some horrible horrible EDM DJs, oh and Slayer, fuck it why not?

It's in Iceland though, I doubt the population can support multiple large festivals aimed at multiple demographics, even if they are all hugely into music.

Glastonbury alone is like half the size of the entire population of Iceland.

I would totally attend a concert in Reykjavik to see Slayer, Stormzy and Gucci Mane in quick succession. Speaks to me as a family-type popular concert, and I'm not surprised there'd be Icelanders who're able to dig all three. I have strong doubts about the names below though.
