Fred (Good Irish music? Not at Oxe2010? It's blasphemy!)
Enemies or The Redneck Manifesto (they both make the same type of music really :P still, more Irish bands that deserve to be there)
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse
The Raconteurs (or, just get back to recording, damnit. Dead Weather isn't that great)
Florence And The Machine

)
Arcade Fire
The Chemical Brothers
Daft Punk
Justice
Phoenix
Two Door Cinema Club

With the Kings of leon and the Script both counted out, i'm already completely happy. For me the Foo fighters is meh. But the fact that neither the script or kings of leon will be playing, means that money will be spent well and i am already ready to fork out for the early bird.

And, I've always had this idea that if I was in charge of a festival, I'd have a proper savage orchestra playing, except they'd be on a stage, with a massive PA and lights and smoke and the full rock band treatment, and instead of sitting in silence in a concert hall, you'd be standing and drinking beer and cheering between movements. For it to work, you'd have to cultivate some sort of respectful environment, where you don't cheer during the music (that'd COMPLETELY ruin the impact of the music), but not in a snooty upper class indignance way. You want to hear the tunes!
Also, the orchestra would be playing good romantic/modern music. Things I'd have on the bill;
Stravinsky's The Firebird/The Rite of Spring
Górecki's 3rd Symphony
Reich's City Life
Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta
Pärt's Cantus In Memory of Benjamin Britten
Xenakis' Metastasis B
Ligeti's Cello Concerto/Atmosphéres
Debussy's Nocturnes
Also, maybe The Flaming Lips could play The Soft Bulletin the whole way through with live orchestra as part of their set...0 -
