Wishlist / Dream Line-ups

What would be your dream line-up for next year's Hop Farm Festival, or any festival for that matter! Or, who do you wish would play the festival more than anybody else???

I think they covered my dream line-up when they said Neil Young...lol

Seriously, the best line-up for me personally would be:

Neil Young Headline
The Doors
Love
Donovan
Mercury Rev
The Decemberists
Rilo Kiley
The Arcade Fire
The Moldy Peaches
Jenny Owen Youngs (if you haven't heard of this beautiful young woman yet: www.myspace.com/jennyowenyoungs)
Belle & Sebastian
The Dandy Warhols

I'm not fussy...

Bowie
Tom Waits
The Fall
John Cooper Clark
The Specials
The Leather Nun
J&MC
MGMT
Marc Almond
Half Man Half Biscuit
Liza Minnelli
Carter USM
Sparks
Kraftwerk
Robert Cray
Otis Grand

These and the other three acts

neil young
primal scream
supergrass

tom waits
van morrison
willie nelson
richard hawley
kitty, daisy and lewis

Neil Young is a fantastic choice. Not so sure about Primal Scream really but hmm. Also lovnig Supergrass.

REM would be great. Probably a 30k seller anyway though right? :/

other than neil young,,,

Kitty daisy and Lewis would be great.

also old crow medicine show,

that would be fine with me,.... oh and Gillian Welch!

Good ideas for the line up so far, hows about
Neil, Primal Scream, Suprgrass, The Black Crowes, Crosby, Stills and / or Nash, Pegi Young and something a bit more out there like shiburatsu-shirazu Orchestra (Japanese crazy people) - not sure on the spelling but a have seen footgage of them @ Glastonbury 03; like a 25+ piece group playing [/i]crazy[i] music.

I'll admit, ive not heard much of the other suggestions you guys have made but certainly gives me soemthing to keep an eye/ear out for!

The best line up would be

Bob Dylan
Neil Young
The Eels
Morrisey
Leonard Cohen
Van Morrison
(and of course)
Eamon Mearns

he is a singer/songwriter from Scotland if you don't know

I'll be honest, I was hoping Neil would persuade his old buddies Pearl Jam to come over as support, can't see that now.
Would love to see Black Mountain open the day up, then maybe Cerys Matthews relax us all in the afternoon sunshine, then how about the Fratellis get the party started before Supergrass...
And, how about Damien Rice...now that would be a treat.

I would LOVE the Flaming lips to play, they are in and around the UK in the summer, and they would fit in nicely

Black Crowes, Raconteurs, Black Mountain, the Black Angels,

Oh yeah! Pearl Jam will be a band too far, shame

I was going to say My Morning Jacket, but they have just been added. Yes!

Ryan Adams would be excellent.

The levellers are always a good festival band I would love to see them there.

That's brilliant. My Morning Jacket, what can I say. Can't wait to see them live. Just need Pearl Jam or Bob Dylan now. Doubt it but hey, it would be great.

Hey there people,
I echo the above sentiments, MMJ are one of those bands I have been wanting to check out for a while and hey, they have been added?! They certainly sound more appealing to your pure Neil fan than the others, here's hoping for the rest of the line up!

Would be good to see the excellent Roger Chapman & the Shortlist added. Checkout www.chappo.com Neil with remember his fantastic vocals from the 70's band Family.

i want lowgold to play.
please give them a chance to shine under the kent's blue sky.
you can listen to a couple of new songs from their new album 'promise lands' at their my space page.
if they are playing i would pay hundred pounds for a ticket.

Dead and gone but not forgotten:

Jimi
Mothers of Invention
The Dead
Beatles

Just a note on My Morning Jacket.

If you go to Itunes & put 'My Morning Jacket' in the search engine it brings up 4 x Podcasts.
The podcasts are 2 gigs split into 2 'casts and are about an hour or so each of them playing live and , in my humble opinion, That Damn Good!

If you arent familiar with 'em, check it out! Good Call Vince Power!
