When I created this thread I had never expected those creative, often amazing and varied line-ups

Okay, this time with bands that still plays, unlike last time

Träd Gräs och Stenar
Kebnekaise
Ozric Tentacles

Fläsket Brinner
Kaipa
Porcupine Tree

Or something like that. I'm a bit unsure if Fläsket Brinner still plays, though.

On second thoughts: I've won the lottery so I'm going to have more than one stage a la Glastonbury .....

Canterbury Stage ....
The Spacerock ....... pyramid(ion)
Metal Stage ...
The Legends custom built amphitheatre (hey I wopn Euromillions not the UK sweepstake)

Also is the new talent workshop & chill out tent

PS emergency services, and newly built rest home for the older members will also be available Wink

The rest of the money would be ploughed into the festival micro brewery & vineyard

Of course the festival would ahve to end with Spinal Tap playing stone henge in a full scale replica ....

Day two

Disen Gage
Nemo
Gregor Samsa
Mar De Robles

Roz Vitalis

Sorry, no metal on my money. Wink

Uhm, I mostly though of bands that are active around this period, I know that usually you get three great names with a couple of artistically promising ones, the rest being more unknown or rare-groove bands. But I don't know much of these last list bands, therefore I splashed with good names and excellent recent good music. Cool

oops, only four bands (though others pushed the limits too, before me)!!
well then, Masfel and Carptree off the first day, Mar De Robles and Roz Vitalis off the second. not too much damage, no? Wink

Sorry because I'm jumping out of theme but If I win the lottery, I would rather then organise prog rock festival, resurect philosoher Epictetus and spent few days in his summer kamp. That would be (prog) music for my ears.
