lovers_spit Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Right,with it being festival summer, and the moaning about shit line ups in many of the british festivals this year, I'm wondering what would your dream festival line up be?(Cos its hypothetical, why not include deceased/split up bands)Try and keep it to ten or less otherwise it might get a bit ridiculousPersonally (From headliner to smallest act)Led Zeppelin ABBA The Smiths James Brown Jeff Buckley Silverchair Death From Above 1979 Idlewild Aereogramme The Xcerts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
