This is a good one - very ATPish. Sonic Youth are playing over here soon at one of the festivals... Maybe Reading. Hopefully they'll do some shows in London.

I tried to see Lightning Bolt with a friend of mine at a 'secret gig' in Dalston. Obviously they can't keep secrets, cos the queue was about 1000 deep. I didn't realise they were so popular. To be honest - i've never even heard their stuff.

Yeah i pretty much just thought of the best stuff I've seen at ATP over the past years.

Lightning bolt are just a good band to have at a festival. At Sonic Youth's ATP, Thurston played his last chord and said "This band are called lightning bolt", and then Lightning Bolt started playing right in a tiny little corner at the back of the room. Literally you've never seen art fags go so crazy. Pushing and shoving, it was like being at a hardcore show but with gay haircuts flying around everywhere. Also at the weekend before I didn't go to, they set up in the middle of a block of chalets and starting playing at 6am, I guess you kinda need to hear their music to realise how funny this is. So yeah, not a legendary band or anything, but essential to invite to your festival.

I didn't put any rap on their because I think rap acts at festivals often turn out absolute shit. The thing I'm actually specifically thinking of is Biz Markie at the Dedbeat festival. He DJ'd badly for about an hour then tried to do "Just A Friend" but forgot the words.

I don't see Primus headlining over most of the other acts you've listed Metallica, Nas, Wu, Slayer, and probably Tool are all bigger draws than Primus... correct me if I'm wrong.

That's a shame. Biz is getting too damn old now. He was at the Tibetan Freedom Concert with KRS 1 one time doing the beatbox for south bronx and breaking out into the vapors rocking the whole fuckin island. But word to Y@k, P.E. live is extra frsh.

To make it more interesting, you should have to work within a budget and people's current tours. I saw a list of what different bands/rappers ask for performances somewhere. I think it mighta been a clear channel site.

If I recall, Doom was asking for something like 8 to 10g's.
