Design Your Festival

Who would play at your festival and where would it take place?

The lineup should be expressive of you and (at least in my view) the more eclectic the better but it should also be at least theoretically coherent and well-attended. Also, one can design a good, individual festival while leaving many of one's favorite artists at home.

(yes, I think we've done this before but it was maybe a joke at the time and in any event I couldn't find it?)

I won't be going first or anything

also, in my universe, you wouldn't want the festival to be too dominated by any one act's fans

Alright, since my posts always kill threads....

YOKO ONO
Modest Mouse
Jay-Z
Beck
Pulp
The White Stripes (probably would be later in the day but my concert, my rules)
Le Tigre
Princess Superstar
Peter Bjorn and John
Lindi Ortega (local artist)

It would be a lovely day on Toronto Island.

do the bands have to be currently active/alive?

but it should be theoretically possible that they would play a show now

so yes to alive, but no to active
