disclaimer: i was drunk when i wrote this. can you tell? hehehe
You heard it here first; if I ever win that lottery I once wrote about, the 89 million euros, THIS is what I would do: I would host the best festival in the world, and Olli and I would be in charge of the line up (also some of the setlists, btw). So if you want to come to this awesome imaginary festival, keep an eye on my blog. If I would ever win that lottery, suck up to me and I might let you come to the best festival in the world.
Olli and I reasoned that we would divide stages/tents by music genre. That just seemed more practical; if you wanted to see bands of a certain genre more, you’d just hang out in that tent/at that stage. In my case I’d pretty much be stage hopping the whole goddamn time, because everything on this list is awesome.
YES OF COURSE WE MADE A LIST!
