————————–
4. What would be your best advice for a festival goer?
Take lots of cash, EVERYTHING is extortionate.
Have the best time!! Also take plenty of loo paper.
Don’t drink too much. Toilets get yukky.
Pack dry shampoo.
I want to be funny but in all seriousness, take goos earplugs!! Wellies on metal duckboards all day and all night = 5 nights of NO sleep.
Waterproofs and wet wipes.
Take clothes you don’t mind ruining coz most of the people i know who have been have had clothes badly stained or ripped
Wet Wipes, and try not to need a poo!
Wet wipes
Get a Winnebago.
When I went, we didn’t have a ticket, just bought them off a man when we got there. Saved a fortune, but I don’t suppose you can do that now.
I don’t know, I don’t like music festivals.
Travel light and wear wellies down there. And rain and mud are part of it so laugh at the teenyboppers crying when their designer trainers are ruined.
Wellies and sun cream
Take baby wipes.
Don’t forget your tin opener.
If you think your being covered in beer from a thrown cup, think again
Imodium
Take tissues, wet wipes, blankets and spare socks. Make sure your wellies fit properly before you get there. Don’t expect the “family area” to be quiet – kids are noisy bastards. Practice putting your tent up before you get there. Don’t put your tent up on a slope. Try not to pass out from drugs/alcohol before you’ve seen any bands. Don’t take drugs for the first time at a festival. DON’T take pictures throughout the whole thing – enjoy the moment else all you’ll remember is seeing the band on your phone screen. Also, everyone will think you’re a cunt.
Go with the flow.
Take a she wee
Take wet wipes
Just have fun.
Don’t go. If forced, take wet wipes.
Keep out of my fucking way.
Bin bags and bogroll
Be careful of everyone throwing piss!
Keep your shit together.
Take sanitiser and toilet roll. Camping is shit. The toilets are horrible.
Anti bac!!
Shit before you go
Never been but I’m guessing it’ll be try and avoid the porta loos at all costs!
Stay in a hotel
Sit back and let the crowds pass You can’t fight the weather
Take baby wipes. And gin.
Get a tent with separate ‘rooms’ and take a chemical loo! Best idea ever! Especially when festivalling with kids. Also wet wipes and wellies, but that’s obvious. And don’t take too much food or drink, it is actually better to pay festival prices than to break your spine/ankles/spirit lugging cartloads of stuff over miles of muddy fields. Last but not least: CROWDSURF.
Just go with it
Time the use of portaloos with when they are cleaned. black bin bags make good emergency rain coats. Emergency rations of rice pudding always needed
Discover the joys of constipation. Don’t have sex.
Decent tent (waterproof!). Wellies. Warm socks. Hoodie. Mac. Sunglasses. Sunblock. Hat. Baby wipes!! Don’t bring anything worth stealing. Have fun.
Stay at my sisters.
Take wellies.
If Foo Fighters are playing in a tent at the same time Ash are on the main stage, don’t see Ash.
Take a flag so you can find your tent.
If Imodium hasn’t worked for you, god help you, use the furthest away loo for the most pleasant experience.
I wouldn’t camp overnight, but don’t let it stop anyone else doing it.
Don’t try to over plan, make sure to try new things.
Wet wipes. Travel light. Take lots of cash
I have no clue.
Don’t take too much stuff
Don’t eat, so you don’t need a shit.
Don’t plan too much. Explore and go with the flow!
See as many bands as possible
Don’t camp. Get paid.
Sunscreen
Practice holding in a shite for three days.
Take wipes. And toilet paper. Lots of toilet paper
Take wellies! and try to plan what you really want to see
Don’t bother if you’re disabled, from what I’ve heard, they’re shit if you are.
Take loo roll Take bin liners – excellent as emergency ponchos and for sitting on
Go with people you like.
Forget about hygeine
Buy a cheap pillow (£2.50) and leave it behind in charity donations area at end. If you can beg, borrow or steal your way into VIP, it’s worth it to avoid pain of beer tokens. If you do go VIP, you can never go back. The bliss of clean showers, nice loos and free food is just too good.
Wet wipes. Don’t be a twat.
Take your own drugs rather than trying to buy them when you get there.
Wet wipes!! Stay hydrated Bum bag/ shoulder bag is vital Don’t camp near toilets/ fences / by a path / bottom of a hill
Just let go and enjoy yourself
Change of shoes, prepare for rain/mud. If you can buy VIP option, it’s worth it for the loos alone.
Try to never need the loo.
Wellies. Hoodie.
Take plenty of dry, clean clothes
See Question 2; so for the Edinburgh Festivals: stamina, water, and avoid the Royal Mile unless you want to drown in tourists
Stop all bodily functions if you can
Ignore the advice everywhere, you know how your body works but do take thin layers and loo roll
You can never have enough wet wipes
Take bin bags
Never follow a smurf into the toilet
Be prepared to abandon personal hygiene, morality and self-respect
Take baby wipes and wellies. Oh and don’t take a shit or you’ll regret it!
Leave half of that at home. Save the phone for emergencies… Facebook will still be there when you get home.
Comfortable shoes
Fuck off the tent get pissed & stoned for the full festival, die on monday
Stay in a hotel or B & B
Be patient with crowds. Be prepared to spend money. Fancy dress is the best. And it’s not always the big arenas and acts that are the best. Silent disco anyone?
Hire a camper van.
Wet wipes, ear plugs, eye masks, lots of booze and wear layers.
Enjoy it.
Be brave
If there’s upgradable toilet passes, PAY for them… Short/no queues, clean toilet… What more do you need?
Take your own food!
Take earplugs, baby wipes, plenty of cash (for rip-off food pricing) a d expect to have to raise your twat-tolerance levels.
Travel light, keep a journal.
Get drunk. Don’t be too much of a dick. Don’t wear anything you like too much. Don’t shit yourself in public. Don’t be one of the cunts who burns tents.
Take loads of cash and wellies/boots and wear shorts.
Take baby wipes!!!
Wear shorts and wellies. They dry out more easily. Don’t pack too much. Baby wipes are essential for use after the toilet and as a portable quick shower.
Stay nearby so you can shower and poo in comfort
Bring earplugs and never think it’s a good idea to entertain with kerosene.
iTunes bitch
Get a schedule, and pick which bands to see ahead of time. Eat tempura veg.
LEAVE THE FLAG AT HOME. I don’t go to festivals but those flags look fucking annoying. They block everyones view.
Let yourself go. Get smashed and enjoy it.
Get lots of sleep before you go
Stay in a camper van with toilet. Not a fucking field
Wetwipes
Take lots and lots of antibacterial hand stuff. Also, when you go to the toilets, don’t look down.
Baby wipes!!!
Expect and prepare for the worst – then enjoy it when the worst doesn’t happen. Try everything. Be a participant, not a spectator
go with the flow and relax
Bring nothing that you’re not prepared to lose.
I’ve never been so I don’t think I can advise.
Expect to be surrounded and pressed up by people.
Take loo roll and a sense of humour
Lose all squeamish feelings.
take toilet roll, if not for your arse than to shove up your nostrils when you enter a porta loo on day 2.
Plenty of loo roll
Avoid Glastonbury like the plague. It has lost touch with its roots, it is now just a money-making machine riddled with corporate whoring.
Shewee
Bring so much water proof shit it’s unreal. Make sure your tent is water tight and your bed/bedding is comfortable. Bring your own bog-roll/wet wipes. Bring ear plugs.KNOW WHEN YOU STAND AT THE FRONT AND WHEN TO STAND FURTHER BACK!
Take your own toilet roll Take loads of bin bags to keep stuff waterproof Take as much beer and food as you can carry Wear sunscreen
Take some anti bac hand gel
stay in a hotel
Baby wipes, one of those body worn money belts for valuables.
Take as little as possible, quick drying items. Have fun!
Have a plan B
Remember your personal hygiene.
Wet wipes
Take wet wipes

The need for tents ended when they invented the house brick.

Baby wipes and possibly a spare room in your tent for privacy.
Take a lot of toilet roll and wet wipes!

Don’t smoke much weed at festivals. In three days I saw eight bands because the rest of the time I was off my box on black leb and Bailey’s
I haven’t got any
Have fun!
Don’t just take a tent and vodka. You will also need silver rizla and about 4 clippers as everyone will nick yours
Gin
Waterproofing. Plastic bags, wellies, towels, clothes you don’t intend to keep. When it rains, the place becomes a fucking quagmire.
Bin bags to put dirty stuff in. Sun cream.
Don’t eat raw squirrels. It’s good general life-advice too tbh.
Go to the seaside instead.
Take it easy.
Bring earplugs and be ready to pee in world’s smelliest toilets!

Follow your ears…
Willies and bog roll.
Never let the forecast trick you into not taking wellies.
Don’t get hammered.
Enjoy EVERYTHING. Don’t stick to the bands you know and get drunk the rest of the time. Go to all the fields, even of you don’t get what they are, ESPECIALLY if you don’t get what they are. Eat everything, drink everything, talk to people, smile a lot, dance dance dance. Wear wellies even if you think it’s sunny. Wrap your loo roll in a plastic bag.
Book a hotel

Don’t worry about staying clean all the time.
No matter how cute she is, don’t let her get up on your shoulders. It’s too much hard work, she only has eyes for the singer and she is the only one who’s gonna be on TV. She sees you as a donkey, not a stud.
Get dirty, get drunk and get involved. Don’t feel obliged to see bands just because they’re very famous.
Pack during the morning of the last day and leave after the last act you want to watch. A warm shower and bed is waiting for you at home, you won’t regret leaving.
Baby wipes. Booze. Tent pegs.
Be ready for any weather and possibility of irritable festival goers
Wellies
Always take more drugs with you than you’ll need. You can make a fortune selling the extras.

Wet wipes. Take a fuck ton of wet wipes
Take: wellies, bog roll , wet wipes, poncho, enough pants Do not take: anything precious or remotely valuable

8. If you’ve never been to a festival what do you imagine it to be like?
Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun
Sweaty, wet, and smelly
full of hippies
Smelly.
Muddy, smelly, claustrophobic, confused.
A massive piss up with lots of music
Loud and messy
Muddy with wee filled bottles being lobbed about.
Muddy and smelly.
Wet and stench ridden.
Have been
Muddy and dirty
Full of plastic hippies and actual hippies and bloody nightmare to get to a toilet, and people ripping you off at every opportunity
Smelly but fun
A party vibe ruined by drunken fools and overflowing cesspits
Muddy and boozy
Been, but it was nothing like I imagined.
Hell on earth. Everyone covered in their own filth throwing piss at each other and getting no sleep for days
Hell with no bed or shower.
Shit, crowded, smelly and full of dickheads
Very very claustrophobic, noisy and surrounded by drunken thieving bastards
Musical, muddy & a bit mental
I have been and it was as expected but sixtyfivetrillion times better.
Lots of fun!
It’s just not quite as good as you’d expect
Sex, drugs and rock n roll. Probably pretty terrifying for a nice girl like me.
Noisy
Muddy.
Don’t have to imagine.
smelly and dirty..! but an amazing atmosphere
Muddy and no loos and horribly inaccessible. I’m not a (full time/regular) wheelchair user, but I can’t walk very much or cope without proper loo facilities. I am also not that interested in being in huge crowds watching a band that I can’t even really see. Have you seen James Ward’s blog entry about when he went to a festival? I think I would have a similar experience even were I not too ill for such shenanigans.
Awesome^awesome
I have been, but it’s never been as muddy as I had imagined.
These days they’re full of arseholes.
Noisy, dirty, uncomfortable and surrounded by annoying drunk / stoned bastards.
Hell on earth – lots of people packed into a small space coupled with toilet facilities that are on a par with third world facilities and cleanliness
N/a
Refugee camp with expensive burgers
Muddy dirty cultural explosion and anything goes
Mucky, wet, uncomfortable, dirty. Ugh.
Dirty with dodgy food and facilities.
Fucking epic!!! (I’ve been tho)
Claustrophobic !
A magical fairy kingdom paradis….IT’S FINE YOURE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST.
Shite
Really dirty but incredibly fun
Full of irritating other people who would just get on my tits.
Dirty, sweaty, dehydrated, hungover,sunburn,hay fever and porter loo’s
Muddy or hot, a bit dirty
Muddy. Wet. Dirty. Unclean. Germ-y. Full of muddy, wet, dirty, unclean, germ-y people. It looks like my idea of hell. Sleeping in a field? Fuck no.
Too fucking packed
Not been many so…..Crowded! I get lost easily haha
Crowded. Unhygienic. Good craic.
Awful. I like functioning toilets for a start.
NOISY
Been to loads so this question is void.
Mad, muddy, smelly but fun
Dirty, and smelly.
Noisey exhilarating smelly
Grubby
Much too crowded and unhygienic.
Fun, gungy and drunken
Shit.
Uncomfortable but I wud go if I cud glamp in a Winnebago or nearby hotel & have a VIP pass for everything!
Kind of like the end of civilisation itself
Ok probably but I like my own bed! Love live music though.
A nightmare. Smelly, too many people, no ability to wash properly. It’s honestly my worst nightmare. I hate camping!!
Smelly but fun
Drubk
I imagine it is like Leeds but muddier.
Like being a refugee but paying foe the privilege.
hideous, muddy, terrible hayfever, smelly dirty sweaty vile human beings. loud. fucking awful.
Organized chaos.
Non stop fingering.
Smelly
Been to millions. Can I leave this unanswered?
Dirty, crowded, disgusting toilets and noisy.
A steaming pile of dog shit attended by annoying young hipsters who think they are cool, a small number of people who actually are cool and ageing people who have long since ceased to be cool but are trying to reclaim their youth. If it’s a British festival, there will be rain, mud, long queues for overpriced beer, overpriced ‘gourmet’ burgers and blocked portaloos which stink like a cow pat after half a day. If you want to watch bands on stage, you’re either at the front in a crush or so far back the band members seem like ants. You’ll be surrounded by people who rave about the ‘vibe’ and atmosphere, but they’re likely off their tits on some chemical substance or another. And camping is what you do when you can’t afford a hotel. All in all, I would rather chew my own leg off and then dip the bloody stump in broken glass and lemon juice before diving into a piranha-infested cesspool, than go to a festival.
Smelly dirty noisy, full of annoying people
I’m not a big drinker so maybe a bit boring.
Brilliant
Periods of wild excitement between periods of being cold, wet and bored.
Hell. Crushed. Too many people. But hand me a jub I’ll probably love it. And everything else.
Muddy, busy, loud.
I have been
The most amazing weekend ever
Like rimming @davielegend.
Civilised to begin with and awful by the end. (The toilets, I mean.)
I’ve been so I know!
Enlightening
Full of hippies shit & weirdos
Muddy!
Dirty
Awful.
Shit
Muddy
Filthy and full of drunk twats bragging about how many times they’ve seen such and such an act.
Like unicorns having gay sex.
Dirty, noisy, but good
Wet, filthy and expensive.
Full of un-washed, un-clean benefit claimants.
The most amazing weekend ever
I have, and they are just like a massive party.
Lots of music and happiness.
Muddy and loud
A big party.
Wet and muddy
Noisy, overcrowded and annoying
Tiring, noisy and with unbearable queues for everything.
Mental
Horrendous.
Awful… and I was right.
Relaxed, dirty, smelly, boozy, chilled, revolting, dancy
I imagine it to be like what I experienced.
Disgusting, violent, scary
Filthy but I’ve been so I know
Dirty

12. If you have been to a festival, what’s been your best festival experience?
Thunder reforming at High Voltage
The manager of an awesome band we were watching coming over and chatting to us about them. Oh, and chatting with Ed Sheeran whilst he had a cig.
Coming home.
Sitting in the sun, listening to the music.
Arriving at my first Glastonbury in 2008 on the Friday night by national express. Walking through tents and rocking up to watch Jimmy Cliff on the jazz stage with a Hasidic Jew dancing mentally in front of me. I knew I was in love with Glastonbury right then. I then danced until 5am in Shangi-La do Hayseed Dixie. Few experiences have topped that sense of total wonder!
Genesis at Knebworth
Lamb. Sunset. Jazz stage. Glasto. 1999 I think.
Crowd surfing to the Manics and Kula Shaker.
Surprisingly good sound.
Glastonbury. Time doesn’t matter so you can do whatever, whenever.
Losing the kids.
V festival 98.. Even though I missed The Verve.
Pulp headlining t in the park. Euphoric.
Seeing the wife have a piss behind a tree
Drunkenly singing Bohemian Rhapsody and doing the okey kokey with 20 strangers before leading a conga line to the cocktail tent after seeing We Are Scientists.
Singing along to George Benson with a great crowd.
All the drugs, oh wait I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A FESTIVAL
Every minute was the best.
Eventually, we left.
That time at Reading when the weather was perfect and yet I managed to not get hayfever
Getting picked up in a mosh pit by a fat man.
Playing
Jamie Cullum in the sunshine, or drunkenly singing to 30 seconds to mars in the mud
Pulp at Glastonbury 1995
The crowd loving Rolf Harris
Four days in a yurt with terrific music, wonderful friends and a shed load of gin and red wine.
Seeing Fatboy slim. No drink or drugs needed, he was just awesome
My children seeing Pearl Jam for the first time, singing along and dancing and cheering their little heads off. I danced like a maniac and blubbed like a baby! Utter euphoria.
Listening to Jason Mraz whilst a thunderstorm lit up the sky.. surprisingly in time with music
Walking ten miles (because the bus driver turfed us out) to watch the Prodigy… From a distance of over a mile.
Have several. Couldn’t pick one.
IOW, REM on the main stage. Unbelievable performance. Never seen a crowd react like that to a band as the sun was setting over the site. Beautiful, emotional and wonderous.
Fun Lovin Criminals at sunset.
Jamiroquai in searing heat
Sunshine.
Glastonbury, not sure what I’d go for specifically. Maybe Thursday night in 2011.
Spiritualised at Glastonbury 98. Sigur Ros at Glastonbury….er……sometime. Nick Cave at ATP. A labyrinth of fire at Glasto 98. Sonic Youth at Reading 96? Sex Pistols Phoenix 96 Rocket From The Crypt at Reading 96ish
All of it even the rain
Sex in the crowd with a stranger
The whole Glastonbury atmosphere. The whole vibe of the place is like nothing else.
Reading 95 Smashing pumpkins
Someone died during Pete Tongs set at Gatecrasher. Gee came backstage and I said Oi, Pete, it’s all gone a bit you. He doesn’t like me now.
Great music
Smoking a joint with a girl I’d just met.
rock n bike 2011. amazing people, amazing bands, cheeky snog with a stranger
I used to like the things the old GLC did in parks in summer. Think there was one in Battersea that was good, and it had a machine that did presents for 20p and they came in a little blue and white cardboard box. I liked those. I am not James Ward, by the way.
didn’t have a great time
Getting drunk and singing along with thousands of others
Being given a badge by a giant rabbit.
Guns N’ Roses at Donnington as I was too far back to be crushed.
A cricket match between hippies and anarchists at a festival in North Wales in about 1991. The LSD might have helped.
The whole crowd singing Queens bohemian rhapsody to a backing track.
Blur live
Furst time Deadmau5 played Creamfields in the Radio 1 tent. Astounding.
Evenings round the campfire, winding down with friends & strangers
Sex in a tent.
Singing at the St Magnus Festival in Orkney
Surreal experience of man in sumo suit moonwalking past. Genuinely thought I had imagined it until be came back
Watching Coldplay. Shivers down my spine and every song now brings back such a unique memory.
Sunrise at the stones at glasto
Inspiral Carpets
Not having a poo for 3 daya
The all night Pink Floyd tent!
Seeing my kids getting into live music
Getting a hand job off a bird in the crowd while watching blur
Watching/listening to a recreation of KLF’s ‘Chill Out’ album at The Big Chill

MDMA at Bestival 2008
Dancing in the sunshine to Amadou & Mariam
Foo Fighters.
Sticky pig leg
Knowing musicians/writers and getting VIP/press passes… It’s so much better on the other side! Also, those moments when the crowd dances and you get caught up in the bounce,
Everyone was happy!
Playing live at Glastonbury.
Morris dancer wars at Sidmouth Folk Festival.
Limp Bizkit, Rollin’ with 20,000 people doing the dance followed by immediately meeting then hugging Hayley Williams. I enjoyed it more than she did.
Camping is always the best bit!
Chilling out and drinking all day at Body & Soul section at Electric Picnic. So relaxed and such a friendly atmosphere.
Leaving the festival and mixing with real human beings again
Getting high and listening to Blur with skulls rotating around the roof of my tent.
Hearing the Verve play ‘Love is Noise’ for the first time.
Not been.
Daft punk at Global Gathering
Bonding with my dad
Seeing The Pixies
The fact the artists just walk about and have a good old mingle.
Dancing at the front to Florence and the machine
Listening to great live music, eating Thai food whilat watching the sun go down
I doubt I can remember the best ones.
Feeling happy with tens of thousands of other people
sitting round a fire and chilling
Happy people enjoying music
sharing a spliff and a convo with Amy Winehouse, Glasto.
Chemical brothers
Jamming with The Manics
Reading, the massive crowd playing “flash the boobs” with Placebo!
Not been. Been to loads of concerts though!
Not sleeping in a tent
Sharing it with my best friend, and making new friends through the love of music
I met my husband
good thanks
The atmosphere, the people, the lack of rules… Complete escape from daily life accompanied by stupidly expensive food/drink & good music x
The laid back attitude, sitting on the grass with a drink and sunshine while listening to live music. Exactly why festivals were made for
Dancing till the sun comes up

Yes – 45.4%
No – 54.6%
————————-
28. If you create a supergroup of the best musicians who would be in your band, what instrument would they play and what would the band be called?
Drums – Dave Grohl Bass – Steve Harris Lead Guitar – Slash Rhythm Guitar – Malcolm Young Vocals – Lzzy Hale No idea of a name.
Bryn Christopher singing. Prince on guitar. Bass player from Senseless things. Reni on drums.
mick jones on triangle ozzy osbourne on tamborine called minge kebab
Stone Roses exactly as they are with me in a female Bez role, ideally shagging Ian Brown off-stage during Fools Gold
Tom Morello, guitar. Keith Moon, drums. The Muse fella, vocals and guitar. They would simply be called: The Band.
Nile Rodgers and James D Bradfield on guitar. Keith Moon on drums. Bowie on vocals. Matt Bellamy art direction. They’d be called FUCK
All the bands that were big in 1995. I’m too tired to name them all.

Just me – I would play everything and it would be called Capalcu
Slipknot with the addition of Slash and Myles Kennedy. Perfection right there.
The band would be called: Terrible Lorries
I’m not a fan of ‘real bands’ so I’d choose a supergroup of Lady Gaga, rihanna, Beyonce, Mel B and Ben Howard
It would be a very big band.
Oh my god this survey is getting boring now. It would have me on violin and my mate Dave on tambourine.
Dave Grohl vocals Chris Novoselic bass Lars Ulrich drums Jimi Hendrix guitar The cockpockets
They already did! It’s called the full English.
Pearl Jam. That is all
Arse – kurt cobain, kt Tunstall & Phil Collins

Lead singer: Taylor Swift Lead guitar: Newton Faulkner Keys: Gabrielle Aplin Drums: Rob from Letters to Daisy playing a cajon (look them up) Banjo: Marcus Mumford And they’d be called ‘A Feast for the Ears’ (I didn’t promise my talent for thinking of band names was any better than my taste in music…)

Jarvis Cocker and Brett Anderson as duelling frontmen, Alex James on bass, and, well, basically I’m just going to be naming people I fancied when I was 15 and calling it My Teenage Pantsfeelings.
Re: Some Picnic….. I fucked up. I want Dana Colley from Morphine on Sax, cos the great Mark Sandman was the bass player, as any fool knows.
Axl Rose, Mike Patton, Slash, Matt Bellamy, Travis Barker, Jason Mraz and Toka, Gerard Way on drugs, Frank Iero, loads of others. Called The Mother Fckers (sic).
Keith Moon – drums. Jimi Hendrix – guitar. Flea – bass. Ray Charles – keyboard and backing vocals. Taylor Momsen – lead vocals. Called.. Mixed Economy (for no other reason than it doesn’t make much sense).

Bootsie Collins – bass Gavin Harrison – drums Devin Townsend – Vocals and guitar Steve Wilson – Guitar Name?
I have literally no idea. Supergroups are generally shite.
All supergroups are shit. You’d think several talented people coming together would create the most amazing music ever. Wrong. It’s just a big wanky shite ego-stroking mess.
Nick Carter on drums…that’s all I care about. I won’t be looking anywhere else….

Me. I would play all the instruments and pretend I’m a hotter, blonder, younger, Dave Grohl but a woman.
Pearl jam. Super groups don’t work, look at audioslave: Cornell vocals & RATM band should be amazing but it just doesn’t work x
Michael Jackson on drums Mark Owen on bass Chesney Hawkes on lead guitar Slash on vocals They’d be called “Steve”
Zithers
Drums: Tony Allen & ?uestlove Bass: Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Guitar: Peter Green & Wilko Johnson Vocals: Bjork
It would be called THE FALL and it would have the folk who were in THE FALL in the late 80s/early 90s

I would play the triangle. The band will be called “FUCK YOU, THIS IS MY BAND”.
Dave grohl – drummer Howard (killswitch engage) – vocalist Slash – guitarist Not sure about bass No idea what it would be called either

Cliff Burton Bass Mike Patton Singing.
It would just be a mash up of the current line ups of Fairport/Steeleye Span and various other folk combos. Maddy Prior and Simon Nicol on vocals, Dave Swarbrick on fiddle, Martin Carthy on guitar, John Kirkpatrick on accordion. Ashley Hutchings would be in there somewhere too… I’d called the band Folk Off. Because I am HILARIOUS like that.

The Unknown me (vocal & keytar) dave grohl (drums) Jack White (lead guitar)
Trent Reznor – vox, production James Dean Bradfield – vox, guitar Nick Cave – lyricist, vox, tambourine Reznor can emulate just about anything any way, so wouldn’t need other band members. That, and thinking of those three in a room has got me all a-fluster…
Supergroup. Eric Clapton (guitar), Roger Waters (guitar), Elvis (vocals), Dave Grohl (drums) and Chris Martin (piano)
Chuck D, Ice Cube, Charlotte Church and Ol Dirty Bastard on Vocals Slash on Guitar Vanessa Mae on violin The bloke from Metallica on drums “The Rank Vagina’s”

The drummer from the Arctic Monkeys on drums, Fran Healey from Travis as singer/on guitar, Flea on bass, Seth Lakeman on fiddle, The Tallest Man On Earth as other singer/lead guitar… they would be called The Misfit Toys

Jimmy Page guitar cozy Powell drums fave grohl guitar and vocals
Steve Jacket on guitar, Keith Emerson on keyboards, Ginger Baker on drums, Greg Lake on bass and Jim Morrison vocals. Group name; Music Men of the Apocalypse.

My favourite ever band would be ‘The Dead Beatles’. It would consist of all The Beatles, dead, playing nothing, just laying there. Blissful silence would fill the room.
I’m the audience, you’ll have to work that one out yourself.
Jimi Hendrix on sousaphone Meryl Streep on sousaphone All 360540 members (past and present) of the Sugababes on sousaphone The Queen on sousaphone and Cher on Cher It would be called “Mr Major’s got a right B in his bonnet about the bedroom tax, oh yes he has, so he has!”

————————–
4. What would be your best advice for a festival goer?
Take lots of cash, EVERYTHING is extortionate.
Have the best time!! Also take plenty of loo paper.
Don’t drink too much. Toilets get yukky.
Pack dry shampoo.
I want to be funny but in all seriousness, take goos earplugs!! Wellies on metal duckboards all day and all night = 5 nights of NO sleep.
Waterproofs and wet wipes.
Take clothes you don’t mind ruining coz most of the people i know who have been have had clothes badly stained or ripped
Wet Wipes, and try not to need a poo!
Wet wipes
Get a Winnebago.
When I went, we didn’t have a ticket, just bought them off a man when we got there. Saved a fortune, but I don’t suppose you can do that now.
I don’t know, I don’t like music festivals.
Travel light and wear wellies down there. And rain and mud are part of it so laugh at the teenyboppers crying when their designer trainers are ruined.
Wellies and sun cream
Take baby wipes.
Don’t forget your tin opener.
If you think your being covered in beer from a thrown cup, think again
Imodium
Take tissues, wet wipes, blankets and spare socks. Make sure your wellies fit properly before you get there. Don’t expect the “family area” to be quiet – kids are noisy bastards. Practice putting your tent up before you get there. Don’t put your tent up on a slope. Try not to pass out from drugs/alcohol before you’ve seen any bands. Don’t take drugs for the first time at a festival. DON’T take pictures throughout the whole thing – enjoy the moment else all you’ll remember is seeing the band on your phone screen. Also, everyone will think you’re a cunt.
Go with the flow.
Take a she wee
Take wet wipes
Just have fun.
Don’t go. If forced, take wet wipes.
Keep out of my fucking way.
Bin bags and bogroll
Be careful of everyone throwing piss!
Keep your shit together.
Take sanitiser and toilet roll. Camping is shit. The toilets are horrible.
Anti bac!!
Shit before you go
Never been but I’m guessing it’ll be try and avoid the porta loos at all costs!
Stay in a hotel
Sit back and let the crowds pass You can’t fight the weather
Take baby wipes. And gin.
Get a tent with separate ‘rooms’ and take a chemical loo! Best idea ever! Especially when festivalling with kids. Also wet wipes and wellies, but that’s obvious. And don’t take too much food or drink, it is actually better to pay festival prices than to break your spine/ankles/spirit lugging cartloads of stuff over miles of muddy fields. Last but not least: CROWDSURF.
Just go with it
Time the use of portaloos with when they are cleaned. black bin bags make good emergency rain coats. Emergency rations of rice pudding always needed
Discover the joys of constipation. Don’t have sex.
Decent tent (waterproof!). Wellies. Warm socks. Hoodie. Mac. Sunglasses. Sunblock. Hat. Baby wipes!! Don’t bring anything worth stealing. Have fun.
Stay at my sisters.
Take wellies.
If Foo Fighters are playing in a tent at the same time Ash are on the main stage, don’t see Ash.
Take a flag so you can find your tent.
If Imodium hasn’t worked for you, god help you, use the furthest away loo for the most pleasant experience.
I wouldn’t camp overnight, but don’t let it stop anyone else doing it.
Don’t try to over plan, make sure to try new things.
Wet wipes. Travel light. Take lots of cash
I have no clue.
Don’t take too much stuff
Don’t eat, so you don’t need a shit.
Don’t plan too much. Explore and go with the flow!
See as many bands as possible
Don’t camp. Get paid.
Sunscreen
Practice holding in a shite for three days.
Take wipes. And toilet paper. Lots of toilet paper
Take wellies! and try to plan what you really want to see
Don’t bother if you’re disabled, from what I’ve heard, they’re shit if you are.
Take loo roll Take bin liners – excellent as emergency ponchos and for sitting on
Go with people you like.
Forget about hygeine
Buy a cheap pillow (£2.50) and leave it behind in charity donations area at end. If you can beg, borrow or steal your way into VIP, it’s worth it to avoid pain of beer tokens. If you do go VIP, you can never go back. The bliss of clean showers, nice loos and free food is just too good.
Wet wipes. Don’t be a twat.
Take your own drugs rather than trying to buy them when you get there.
Wet wipes!! Stay hydrated Bum bag/ shoulder bag is vital Don’t camp near toilets/ fences / by a path / bottom of a hill
Just let go and enjoy yourself
Change of shoes, prepare for rain/mud. If you can buy VIP option, it’s worth it for the loos alone.
Try to never need the loo.
Wellies. Hoodie.
Take plenty of dry, clean clothes
See Question 2; so for the Edinburgh Festivals: stamina, water, and avoid the Royal Mile unless you want to drown in tourists
Stop all bodily functions if you can
Ignore the advice everywhere, you know how your body works but do take thin layers and loo roll
You can never have enough wet wipes
Take bin bags
Never follow a smurf into the toilet
Be prepared to abandon personal hygiene, morality and self-respect
Take baby wipes and wellies. Oh and don’t take a shit or you’ll regret it!
Leave half of that at home. Save the phone for emergencies… Facebook will still be there when you get home.
Comfortable shoes
Fuck off the tent get pissed & stoned for the full festival, die on monday
Stay in a hotel or B & B
Be patient with crowds. Be prepared to spend money. Fancy dress is the best. And it’s not always the big arenas and acts that are the best. Silent disco anyone?
Hire a camper van.
Wet wipes, ear plugs, eye masks, lots of booze and wear layers.
Enjoy it.
Be brave
If there’s upgradable toilet passes, PAY for them… Short/no queues, clean toilet… What more do you need?
Take your own food!
Take earplugs, baby wipes, plenty of cash (for rip-off food pricing) a d expect to have to raise your twat-tolerance levels.
Travel light, keep a journal.
Get drunk. Don’t be too much of a dick. Don’t wear anything you like too much. Don’t shit yourself in public. Don’t be one of the cunts who burns tents.
Take loads of cash and wellies/boots and wear shorts.
Take baby wipes!!!
Wear shorts and wellies. They dry out more easily. Don’t pack too much. Baby wipes are essential for use after the toilet and as a portable quick shower.
Stay nearby so you can shower and poo in comfort
Bring earplugs and never think it’s a good idea to entertain with kerosene.
iTunes bitch
Get a schedule, and pick which bands to see ahead of time. Eat tempura veg.
LEAVE THE FLAG AT HOME. I don’t go to festivals but those flags look fucking annoying. They block everyones view.
Let yourself go. Get smashed and enjoy it.
Get lots of sleep before you go
Stay in a camper van with toilet. Not a fucking field
Wetwipes
Take lots and lots of antibacterial hand stuff. Also, when you go to the toilets, don’t look down.
Baby wipes!!!
Expect and prepare for the worst – then enjoy it when the worst doesn’t happen. Try everything. Be a participant, not a spectator
go with the flow and relax
Bring nothing that you’re not prepared to lose.
I’ve never been so I don’t think I can advise.
Expect to be surrounded and pressed up by people.
Take loo roll and a sense of humour
Lose all squeamish feelings.
take toilet roll, if not for your arse than to shove up your nostrils when you enter a porta loo on day 2.
Plenty of loo roll
Avoid Glastonbury like the plague. It has lost touch with its roots, it is now just a money-making machine riddled with corporate whoring.
Shewee
Bring so much water proof shit it’s unreal. Make sure your tent is water tight and your bed/bedding is comfortable. Bring your own bog-roll/wet wipes. Bring ear plugs.KNOW WHEN YOU STAND AT THE FRONT AND WHEN TO STAND FURTHER BACK!
Take your own toilet roll Take loads of bin bags to keep stuff waterproof Take as much beer and food as you can carry Wear sunscreen
Take some anti bac hand gel
stay in a hotel
Baby wipes, one of those body worn money belts for valuables.
Take as little as possible, quick drying items. Have fun!
Have a plan B
Remember your personal hygiene.
Wet wipes
Take wet wipes
just have fun and embrace it all.
The need for tents ended when they invented the house brick.
Just go to gigs!
Pace yourself.
Baby wipes, lots of baby wipes…They have showers now though don’t they!?! Take done kind of pillow
Baby wipes and possibly a spare room in your tent for privacy.
Take a lot of toilet roll and wet wipes!
Take wet wipes, loo roll and alka seltzer xs
Baby wipes, toilet paper and antibacterial gel.
Don’t smoke much weed at festivals. In three days I saw eight bands because the rest of the time I was off my box on black leb and Bailey’s
I haven’t got any
Have fun!
Don’t just take a tent and vodka. You will also need silver rizla and about 4 clippers as everyone will nick yours
Gin
Waterproofing. Plastic bags, wellies, towels, clothes you don’t intend to keep. When it rains, the place becomes a fucking quagmire.
Bin bags to put dirty stuff in. Sun cream.
Don’t eat raw squirrels. It’s good general life-advice too tbh.
Go to the seaside instead.
Take it easy.
Bring earplugs and be ready to pee in world’s smelliest toilets!
Piss off. Also, take a LOT of babywipes.
Hydrate.
MDMA
Take loads of ££££
Prepare to get muddy and drink LOTS
Follow your ears…
Willies and bog roll.
Never let the forecast trick you into not taking wellies.
Don’t get hammered.
Enjoy EVERYTHING. Don’t stick to the bands you know and get drunk the rest of the time. Go to all the fields, even of you don’t get what they are, ESPECIALLY if you don’t get what they are. Eat everything, drink everything, talk to people, smile a lot, dance dance dance. Wear wellies even if you think it’s sunny. Wrap your loo roll in a plastic bag.
Book a hotel
Enjoy the music and don’t mind the dickheads that try to ruin it for everyone else
Don’t go in the first place.
Don’t bother posting hundreds of pictures online. I genuinely couldn’t care less

Baby wipes and toilet roll
just go with the flow
Hand sanitizer!

Take suntan lotion and toilet roll!
She wee
Pack for all weathers?
Forget comfort, enjoy yourself.
Pissinabottle
Get drunk.
Wellies. Anti bac wipes. Bourbon.
Go with friends and bring your own drugs. Festival drug prices are crap.
Take a lot of toilet roll and baby wipes!
Don’t worry about staying clean all the time.
No matter how cute she is, don’t let her get up on your shoulders. It’s too much hard work, she only has eyes for the singer and she is the only one who’s gonna be on TV. She sees you as a donkey, not a stud.
Get dirty, get drunk and get involved. Don’t feel obliged to see bands just because they’re very famous.
Pack during the morning of the last day and leave after the last act you want to watch. A warm shower and bed is waiting for you at home, you won’t regret leaving.
Baby wipes. Booze. Tent pegs.
Be ready for any weather and possibility of irritable festival goers
Wellies
Always take more drugs with you than you’ll need. You can make a fortune selling the extras.
If going to shit in the woods rather than the toilets, check that someone hasn’t had the same idea before you. I got orange shit in the stitching of my shoe.
Pack three suitcases full of wetwipes.
Wear comfy shoes.
Go to one in a Pontins
Wet wipes. Take a lot of wet wipes.
Luminous tent pegs. I’m telling you. Many a drunken arse has destroyed their home for the want of luminous tent pegs.
pack Imodium
Pack for the sunniest day & the wettest day of your life
Wear pants
Never sit round the edge or under trees, they are used as toilets
Leave all your worries and best clothes at home, but never forget loo roll
Leave all morals and personal hygiene at the gate. And don’t eat too many vegetables.
Shove a cork up your arse to prevent shitting.
Wet wipes. Take a fuck ton of wet wipes
Take: wellies, bog roll , wet wipes, poncho, enough pants Do not take: anything precious or remotely valuable
The bands you want to see? Catch them on their own tour. Will look and sound better, and you won’t end up covered in other people’s piss. In theory…
Don’t get hung up on keeping clean. Drink plenty of water
Take more money than you need and take all your drugs in with you.
KICK it

No – 40.6%
Never been – 4.6%

8. If you’ve never been to a festival what do you imagine it to be like?
Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun
Sweaty, wet, and smelly
full of hippies
Smelly.
Muddy, smelly, claustrophobic, confused.
A massive piss up with lots of music
Loud and messy
Muddy with wee filled bottles being lobbed about.
Muddy and smelly.
Wet and stench ridden.
Have been
Muddy and dirty
Full of plastic hippies and actual hippies and bloody nightmare to get to a toilet, and people ripping you off at every opportunity
Smelly but fun
A party vibe ruined by drunken fools and overflowing cesspits
Muddy and boozy
Been, but it was nothing like I imagined.
Hell on earth. Everyone covered in their own filth throwing piss at each other and getting no sleep for days
Hell with no bed or shower.
Shit, crowded, smelly and full of dickheads
Very very claustrophobic, noisy and surrounded by drunken thieving bastards
Musical, muddy & a bit mental
I have been and it was as expected but sixtyfivetrillion times better.
Lots of fun!
It’s just not quite as good as you’d expect
Sex, drugs and rock n roll. Probably pretty terrifying for a nice girl like me.
Noisy
Muddy.
Don’t have to imagine.
smelly and dirty..! but an amazing atmosphere
Muddy and no loos and horribly inaccessible. I’m not a (full time/regular) wheelchair user, but I can’t walk very much or cope without proper loo facilities. I am also not that interested in being in huge crowds watching a band that I can’t even really see. Have you seen James Ward’s blog entry about when he went to a festival? I think I would have a similar experience even were I not too ill for such shenanigans.
Awesome^awesome
I have been, but it’s never been as muddy as I had imagined.
These days they’re full of arseholes.
Noisy, dirty, uncomfortable and surrounded by annoying drunk / stoned bastards.
Hell on earth – lots of people packed into a small space coupled with toilet facilities that are on a par with third world facilities and cleanliness
N/a
Refugee camp with expensive burgers
Muddy dirty cultural explosion and anything goes
Mucky, wet, uncomfortable, dirty. Ugh.
Dirty with dodgy food and facilities.
Fucking epic!!! (I’ve been tho)
Claustrophobic !
A magical fairy kingdom paradis….IT’S FINE YOURE GOING TO HAVE A BLAST.
Shite
Really dirty but incredibly fun
Full of irritating other people who would just get on my tits.
Dirty, sweaty, dehydrated, hungover,sunburn,hay fever and porter loo’s
Muddy or hot, a bit dirty
Muddy. Wet. Dirty. Unclean. Germ-y. Full of muddy, wet, dirty, unclean, germ-y people. It looks like my idea of hell. Sleeping in a field? Fuck no.
Too fucking packed
Not been many so…..Crowded! I get lost easily haha
Crowded. Unhygienic. Good craic.
Awful. I like functioning toilets for a start.
NOISY
Been to loads so this question is void.
Mad, muddy, smelly but fun
Dirty, and smelly.
Noisey exhilarating smelly
Grubby
Much too crowded and unhygienic.
Fun, gungy and drunken
Shit.
Uncomfortable but I wud go if I cud glamp in a Winnebago or nearby hotel & have a VIP pass for everything!
Kind of like the end of civilisation itself
Ok probably but I like my own bed! Love live music though.
A nightmare. Smelly, too many people, no ability to wash properly. It’s honestly my worst nightmare. I hate camping!!
Smelly but fun
Drubk
I imagine it is like Leeds but muddier.
Like being a refugee but paying foe the privilege.
hideous, muddy, terrible hayfever, smelly dirty sweaty vile human beings. loud. fucking awful.
Organized chaos.
Non stop fingering.
Smelly
Been to millions. Can I leave this unanswered?
Dirty, crowded, disgusting toilets and noisy.
A steaming pile of dog shit attended by annoying young hipsters who think they are cool, a small number of people who actually are cool and ageing people who have long since ceased to be cool but are trying to reclaim their youth. If it’s a British festival, there will be rain, mud, long queues for overpriced beer, overpriced ‘gourmet’ burgers and blocked portaloos which stink like a cow pat after half a day. If you want to watch bands on stage, you’re either at the front in a crush or so far back the band members seem like ants. You’ll be surrounded by people who rave about the ‘vibe’ and atmosphere, but they’re likely off their tits on some chemical substance or another. And camping is what you do when you can’t afford a hotel. All in all, I would rather chew my own leg off and then dip the bloody stump in broken glass and lemon juice before diving into a piranha-infested cesspool, than go to a festival.
Smelly dirty noisy, full of annoying people
I’m not a big drinker so maybe a bit boring.
Brilliant
Periods of wild excitement between periods of being cold, wet and bored.
Hell. Crushed. Too many people. But hand me a jub I’ll probably love it. And everything else.
Muddy, busy, loud.
I have been
The most amazing weekend ever
Like rimming @davielegend.
Civilised to begin with and awful by the end. (The toilets, I mean.)
I’ve been so I know!
Enlightening
Full of hippies shit & weirdos
Muddy!
Dirty
Awful.
Shit
Muddy
Filthy and full of drunk twats bragging about how many times they’ve seen such and such an act.
Like unicorns having gay sex.
Dirty, noisy, but good
Wet, filthy and expensive.
Full of un-washed, un-clean benefit claimants.
The most amazing weekend ever
I have, and they are just like a massive party.
Lots of music and happiness.
Muddy and loud
A big party.
Wet and muddy
Noisy, overcrowded and annoying
Tiring, noisy and with unbearable queues for everything.
Mental
Horrendous.
Awful… and I was right.
Relaxed, dirty, smelly, boozy, chilled, revolting, dancy
I imagine it to be like what I experienced.
Disgusting, violent, scary
Filthy but I’ve been so I know
Dirty

Sitting in the sun, listening to the music.
Arriving at my first Glastonbury in 2008 on the Friday night by national express. Walking through tents and rocking up to watch Jimmy Cliff on the jazz stage with a Hasidic Jew dancing mentally in front of me. I knew I was in love with Glastonbury right then. I then danced until 5am in Shangi-La do Hayseed Dixie. Few experiences have topped that sense of total wonder!

Walking ten miles (because the bus driver turfed us out) to watch the Prodigy… From a distance of over a mile.

Drums – Dave Grohl Bass – Steve Harris Lead Guitar – Slash Rhythm Guitar – Malcolm Young Vocals – Lzzy Hale No idea of a name.
Bryn Christopher singing. Prince on guitar. Bass player from Senseless things. Reni on drums.
mick jones on triangle ozzy osbourne on tamborine called minge kebab
Stone Roses exactly as they are with me in a female Bez role, ideally shagging Ian Brown off-stage during Fools Gold
Tom Morello, guitar. Keith Moon, drums. The Muse fella, vocals and guitar. They would simply be called: The Band.
Nile Rodgers and James D Bradfield on guitar. Keith Moon on drums. Bowie on vocals. Matt Bellamy art direction. They’d be called FUCK
All the bands that were big in 1995. I’m too tired to name them all.

Just me – I would play everything and it would be called Capalcu
Slipknot with the addition of Slash and Myles Kennedy. Perfection right there.
The band would be called: Terrible Lorries
I’m not a fan of ‘real bands’ so I’d choose a supergroup of Lady Gaga, rihanna, Beyonce, Mel B and Ben Howard
It would be a very big band.
Oh my god this survey is getting boring now. It would have me on violin and my mate Dave on tambourine.
Dave Grohl vocals Chris Novoselic bass Lars Ulrich drums Jimi Hendrix guitar The cockpockets
They already did! It’s called the full English.
Pearl Jam. That is all
Arse – kurt cobain, kt Tunstall & Phil Collins

Lead singer: Taylor Swift Lead guitar: Newton Faulkner Keys: Gabrielle Aplin Drums: Rob from Letters to Daisy playing a cajon (look them up) Banjo: Marcus Mumford And they’d be called ‘A Feast for the Ears’ (I didn’t promise my talent for thinking of band names was any better than my taste in music…)

Jarvis Cocker and Brett Anderson as duelling frontmen, Alex James on bass, and, well, basically I’m just going to be naming people I fancied when I was 15 and calling it My Teenage Pantsfeelings.
Re: Some Picnic….. I fucked up. I want Dana Colley from Morphine on Sax, cos the great Mark Sandman was the bass player, as any fool knows.
Axl Rose, Mike Patton, Slash, Matt Bellamy, Travis Barker, Jason Mraz and Toka, Gerard Way on drugs, Frank Iero, loads of others. Called The Mother Fckers (sic).
Keith Moon – drums. Jimi Hendrix – guitar. Flea – bass. Ray Charles – keyboard and backing vocals. Taylor Momsen – lead vocals. Called.. Mixed Economy (for no other reason than it doesn’t make much sense).

Bootsie Collins – bass Gavin Harrison – drums Devin Townsend – Vocals and guitar Steve Wilson – Guitar Name?
I have literally no idea. Supergroups are generally shite.
All supergroups are shit. You’d think several talented people coming together would create the most amazing music ever. Wrong. It’s just a big wanky shite ego-stroking mess.

Me. I would play all the instruments and pretend I’m a hotter, blonder, younger, Dave Grohl but a woman.
Pearl jam. Super groups don’t work, look at audioslave: Cornell vocals & RATM band should be amazing but it just doesn’t work x
Michael Jackson on drums Mark Owen on bass Chesney Hawkes on lead guitar Slash on vocals They’d be called “Steve”
Zithers
Drums: Tony Allen & ?uestlove Bass: Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Guitar: Peter Green & Wilko Johnson Vocals: Bjork
It would be called THE FALL and it would have the folk who were in THE FALL in the late 80s/early 90s

Josh Homme rhythm guitar Geddy Lee Bass guitar Dave Grohl drums Kirk Hammet Lead guitar Thom York vocals (and dancing) Band name: plus support
I would play the triangle. The band will be called “FUCK YOU, THIS IS MY BAND”.
Dave grohl – drummer Howard (killswitch engage) – vocalist Slash – guitarist Not sure about bass No idea what it would be called either

Cliff Burton Bass Mike Patton Singing.
It would just be a mash up of the current line ups of Fairport/Steeleye Span and various other folk combos. Maddy Prior and Simon Nicol on vocals, Dave Swarbrick on fiddle, Martin Carthy on guitar, John Kirkpatrick on accordion. Ashley Hutchings would be in there somewhere too… I’d called the band Folk Off. Because I am HILARIOUS like that.
Dave Grohl – Drums. Flea – Bass. Ben Folds – Keyboards Keith Richards – Guitar Slash – Guitar Matt Bellemy – Guitar Haim – Backing Vocals Thom York – Vocals The band would be called ‘Plus Support’

The Unknown me (vocal & keytar) dave grohl (drums) Jack White (lead guitar)
Trent Reznor – vox, production James Dean Bradfield – vox, guitar Nick Cave – lyricist, vox, tambourine Reznor can emulate just about anything any way, so wouldn’t need other band members. That, and thinking of those three in a room has got me all a-fluster…
Supergroup. Eric Clapton (guitar), Roger Waters (guitar), Elvis (vocals), Dave Grohl (drums) and Chris Martin (piano)
Chuck D, Ice Cube, Charlotte Church and Ol Dirty Bastard on Vocals Slash on Guitar Vanessa Mae on violin The bloke from Metallica on drums “The Rank Vagina’s”

Bowie and Thom Yorke. The sprockets.
The drummer from the Arctic Monkeys on drums, Fran Healey from Travis as singer/on guitar, Flea on bass, Seth Lakeman on fiddle, The Tallest Man On Earth as other singer/lead guitar… they would be called The Misfit Toys

Jimmy Page guitar cozy Powell drums fave grohl guitar and vocals
Steve Jacket on guitar, Keith Emerson on keyboards, Ginger Baker on drums, Greg Lake on bass and Jim Morrison vocals. Group name; Music Men of the Apocalypse.
Wtf singer
My favourite ever band would be ‘The Dead Beatles’. It would consist of all The Beatles, dead, playing nothing, just laying there. Blissful silence would fill the room.
I’m the audience, you’ll have to work that one out yourself.
Jimi Hendrix on sousaphone Meryl Streep on sousaphone All 360540 members (past and present) of the Sugababes on sousaphone The Queen on sousaphone and Cher on Cher It would be called “Mr Major’s got a right B in his bonnet about the bedroom tax, oh yes he has, so he has!”

Dunno about picking a headline act but I’d want to see Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Queen (with Freddie obviously), Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash.. so many more too but kind of bored of listing them now!
Oh, this is too complex. Um. I’d have Queen headlining, Roxy Music, Billy Fury, original line up Suede, McAlmont & Butler (after Brett and Bernard had to be separated at the end of their bit), some kind of 60s Girl Group Supergroup, Mama Cass, Pulp, Tina Turner, Elvis Presley, Gene, Edith Piaf, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Steeleye Span, -M-, The Hidden Cameras, The Beach Boys, Luxembourg and the Indelicates (in no particular order other than what I thought of them, and I’ve forgotten loads of stuff I love.
