so, not really a website, and I'm not sure if this has been done before on here, but here goes: create your own festival. one rule: you can't reunite bands or reincarnate bandmembers. contemporary bands/musicians only.

I'll start off:

9pm: the samuel jackson five. great band to start off a night; atmospheric, jazzy guitar instrumentals to get everyone in the mood. they're only aloud to play tracks from their easily misunderstood album though.

10pm: low. again, a great band, this time it's with vocals and pretty much amazing lyrics. I'll go with a playlist coming from things we lost in the fire, the great destroyer, trust and long division, all brilliant albums. they simply HAVE to end with sunflower.

11pm: do make say think. coming to the climax of the evening: canada based do make say think are my favorite band by miles. not having seen them live yet pretty much means I've failed in life so far, that's how deeply I'm in love with this band. again, great spheric guitarmusic, with a touch of jazzy class in the drums and bass.

12pm: boards of canada. to seal the night with a nice, chilled out set. if I remember correctly, they never play live, so that'll be a first. pretty much anything is aloud for playlist, they just have to make sure to play a lot from geogaddi and music has the right to children. you know what, I'll just let them play those two albums completely.

so there you go, my festival is based upon two rather important supporting beams: being able to sit on my arse, preferably in a couch or sofa, and being able to smoke some weed without that being a handicap in terms of enjoying the shows. people who dance, make noise or sing along are herefore banned from my very own festival.

I'm bored, btw.

Nice idea for a thread, might give it a go when I'm not supposed to be working.

You may find that Do Make Say Think get a bit loose when they move into the 13th hour of their set though

something along the lines of:

broken social scene (if/when they return from their hiatus)
new pornographers
animal collective
do make say think
caribou
twilight sad
ra ra riot

that would be a good mix for me.

Hmmm, choosing four or five bands/artists isnt really a festival, is it?

retired_kishnata

Right I was about to go home, but I've just come up with a fantastic festival.

3 days. 11/12 bands each day.

I have my lineup, but I'll post it when I get home. I just wish I was going to this...

retired_heather

lots of festivals are one evening only.

but if you insist on being an arse: let's call it an event or happening then.

Ha, wasnt being an arse, I just wanted to do a full festival lineup but didnt want to look like I was taking it too far.
