Lana Del Rey on beforehand just chainsmoking while staring wistfully at a Los Angeles type palm tree and you would have  a dream evening!

Ooof. Now we're sucking diesel.

Belinda Carlisle would be a hoot in a very good sense. Puts on a decent enough show from memory.

Watched her twice and she sang live and was pretty good

[BumJuice]

Jimmy Somerville (somewhere, anywhere = big appreciative crowd)

DJ Shadow

Jethro Tull

Cat Stevens 

Royksopp/Robyn

Tony Blackburn (DJ set - because he would play the Cowsills The Rain, Park and Other Things. Perfect!)

And have a new afterhours space like Lost Vagueness which isn't a promoted oneway system heaving attraction

[NorthernSoul52]

I am starting to loose track of who I would like.

One definitely out of the mix because their last European tour has touched down just this week is Midnight Oil, though I would be curious to know where the hell they would land. Massive in Australia, naturally, as an arena-turned-outdoor gigs band - remember them playing two shows on The Domain in Sydney, to a combined number just shy of six figures - but you can still get tickets for their only UK show at the Roundhouse next Saturday when I last checked.

The Dead Heart
Blue Sky Mine
Rising Seas
Put Down That Weapon
Truganini
Power and the Passion
Only the Strong
Read About It
Dreamworld
King of the Mountain
Beds Are Burning
Forgotten Years

Probably low - maybe even sixth - on the Pyramid on Saturday. That slot might be best given to somebody with fresher blood, but would struggle to see where else they might go.

[ClementsMike]

Arctic Monkeys 

Depeche Mode

Lathums

Isley Brothers

Specials

Doves

Stone Foundation 

The Coral

Elton as the legend slot

Michael Kiwanuka

Watched Bryan Adams in Widnes tonight (a second appearance in a week from Mel C for me!). He was excellent - imagine an hour Pyramid slot for him. So many hits and singalongs

Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys, Harry Styles, Kasabian, The Mysterines, Christine and the Queens, Damon Albarn (in any form), The Vaccines, Miley Cyrus, Jesse Jo Stark, Dua Lipa, Baby Dave

Some might be a bit ambitious there but it's a wishlist so let me wish!

The only one I didn't know - The Mysterines, pretty awesome!

5 realistic names I'd like to see:

1. Black Country, New Road
2. Car Seat Headrest
3. Lana Del Rey
4. ROSALÍA
5. FKA twigs

[Talcroft]

Jamie XX, Arcade Fire, Ezra Furman, Phoenix, Wet Leg (bigger stage), YYYs, Fred Again..., TEED, Daphni, George Fitzgerald, Tourist, Jon Hopkins (live), Honey Dijon. 

Missed loads of E&D this year due to shifts/not paying enough attention to the lineups so happy for lots of the core to come back... Overmono, Haai, Four Tet, Batu etc etc.

ROSALÍA

If she's not topping the bill on West Holts then there's something wrong with natural balance of things.

Would be ideal. I wonder if she might demand a bigger slot, though? Could sub the Other.

Fiona Apple. Just the one. Once.

Be a while before we see US artists dates for a lot of 2023 but Buddy Guy is "out" of America. In Australia in April. Hopefully Europe to follow.

Cannot think of anyone better. 

Just insane talent. She did say she wanted to tour the album after covid.

Yes please to Phoenix.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Lana Del Rey

Springsteen

 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

A curveball booking that, by default, would probably have to be somewhere on the John Peel stage...

Coheed and Cambria.

If Fiona Apple plays, I'll be the one camping in front of the stage as soon as security allows and start crying like a baby when she hits the stage.

Did you see her announcement about why she can’t tour at the moment. It’s a real tearjerker https://ew.com/article/2012/11/20/fiona-apple-cancels-tour-dog/

I’m sure they played the Other in about 2015? Very leftfield booking!

Shitbags, I was there that year, I thought it was a year I wasn’t there! I have no excuse for not going then 🤣 I’ll have to have a look at the lineup and see what I was doing . .  

[NorthernSoul52]

I'm thinking about going down to the show later this year. Was annoyed to miss them in 2019 - though seem to recall it was due to a schedule clash with something else.

Have just clocked it was Ed Sheeran at Roundhay Park.
