The Greatest Festival on Earth

Well, not so long ago, when the Splendour In The Grass festival lineup came out, I found myself feeling mildly depressed (As I usually am when they announce their acts). These festivals honestly have the best lineups ever. Unfortunately though, tickets are over $500 for the 3 or so days it goes over. This is the main reason why I'm convinced I'll never actually make it there.

 

Instead, I've dreamt up my own festival, which I'll call "THE FESTIVAL OF MY DREAMS".
It would never happen, I know, since some of the bands and musicians are either dead or elderly these days. BUT JUST YOU IMAGINE!

 

The Festival of My Dreams would run over 6 days, near the beach. There'd be trees too. Plenty of 'em.

 

AND IT WOULD BE FREE.

WHO'S EXCITED NOW?!
