I thought the purpose of a festival was to encourage attendance... Luckily Tom would be before this!

When you see the freaky midget voodoo drum circle I put together, you will be too afraid to leave. In fact you would already be in a trance.

Since it's a festival for me, I didn't worry too much about cross-appeal. Here's my off the cuff attempts at a lineup (going from earliest to latest):

Hip Hop

Cunninlynguists
MF Doom
The Streets
Black Star
A Tribe Called Quest

Storytellers

Billy Bragg
Blake Schwarzenbaum (Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil)
Richard Hell
Middle Brother
Avett Brothers

Main Stage 1

Frightened Rabbit
FOALS
Cloud Nothings
Pavement
Fugazi (I'd pay them whatever they wanted, which would be a lot. They've turned down a million)

Main Stage 2

Deer Tick
Archers of Loaf
Titus Andronicus
Sleater-Kinney
Modest Mouse

I will counter-program with the Mike Patton festival across the street:

Fantomas
Lovage
Tomahawk
Dillinger Escape Plan
Mr. Bungle
Faith No More

Afterwards, the two festivals will merge into one and we will all do mass quantities of illegal drugs.

6-7 bands a day 1:30 hr sets 4-2am
Fri
Depech mode
Girl talk
Disclosure
Outkast
Capital cities
Shiny toy guns
St Lucia
