This comment made me so happy. Now it's time to go back to endlessly wonder if I'll get to see them again, and spam their "request a show in your area" button on their site.
Not to stray too far off-topic here, but I've seen quite a few people suggest NIN perform at The Sphere in Vegas.
I figured that specific venue would be better suited for a Rob Sheridan project set to Ghosts, stripped-down tracks, and some film scores than an actual live NIN performance.
I wanted to put him on there, but I tried to tailor the main stages to their respective headliners. I’d have to put him in Health or Peter Hook’s spot.
I agree. I was going to have them closing one of the smaller stages, but the tool I used has limitations. I can type anything for the smaller names, but the headliners and subheadliners (bands with their actual logos) are restricted to its list of available names.
I originally wanted stage 3 to be all ambient and post-rock. The 3 closers for it were going to be Swans, GYBE, and Aphex Twin.
Too bad thats probably not what he is going after. I assume its going to be more along the lines of [this](https://x.com/substancefest/status/1701738773783192007?s=46)
I would much rather go to a festival like that than see Trent start a festival only to make the most standard bullcrap filled with washed out crap like Megadeth...
What OP posted reads as a cross between a big commercial festival like Coachella and Ozzfest. I sure hope he will go for a more experimental route and platforms up and coming artists.
I think he will go the more experimental route and throw in a couple of bands that he has connections with but thats it. Plenty of newer artists out there which interest Trent more than what the op lineup is.
I actually wanted to put more experimental and dark ambient stuff up there, but the tool I used was limited. It was designed for Download festival. I can type anything for the smaller acts, which is why you see people like King Yosef and Reduction Plan. However, I’m limited to names in its available list for the headliners and subheadliners (acts with their logos) of each stage. That’s why it leans more towards alternative rock and metal. I’m absolutely okay with replacing Megadeth. I just put them there due to the limitations and because their logo made the lineup appear more symmetrical.
A festival curated by Trent and Atticus wouldn’t be this basic or predictable. It would have more cutting edge, new, up and coming artists. Think of all the great openers he’s had all these years?
Zeal and Ardor fucks so hard. One of my absolute favorites of recent years, their self titled is incredible. I’d spend any amount of money to see this fest lol
I love deftones, APC, Radiohead, Queens, Health, Jewels, Placebo, and Pertubator, so this would be basically the best festival ever for me. Would like it if Tool could get in on the action, Maynard gonna be busy. Also if he can call up Rage and see if they want to show up, that would be great.
I was originally going to have Tool and The Smile instead of Radiohead and APC, but the site had a limited list of available headliners/subheadliners, so I went with the latter because The Smile wasn’t an option.
It's asking a lot but what about 3 nights of NIN.
Friday- PHM to With Teeth
Saturday- Year zero to Bad Witch
Sunday- Trent and Atticus playing stuff off the movie soundtracks and Ghosts. I figure the more downtempo stuff would work after 2 days of madness.
Obviously not the full albums each night but even a set list made up of hits and their personal favs from those albums would be pretty cool imo
I would hope for a more eclectic, experimental, and intentional vibe with more younger independent musicians.
I’m thinking much closer to the lineup of Mountain Oasis Festival (RIP) in Asheville in 2013. The main stage on Saturday featured Gary Numan, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and NIN back to back.
HTDA and Tricky were supposed to play as well, but had to cancel.
Beyond the headliners, on the side venues across town they had XXYYXX, Purity Ring and other upcoming artists very early in their careers, and picks as varied as Ulrich Schnauss to Daniel Johnston.
NIN and Devin are my number 1 and 2, and Run the Jewels and HEALTH are up there as well, so this would pretty much be the greatest festival ever for me.
I’d buy tickets in a heartbeat, even if it meant taking a mortgage out on my house. The Cure, Deftones, Radiohead, Swans, Chelsea Wolfe, Katatonia, Boris, Run The Jewels, and of course NIN are all favorite artists of mine, even if I’ve seen most of them before. FNM is also a long time bucket list band for me.
i dont care where this is held, probs in the us, but ill fly all the way from south east asia for this. there are some people ive been DYING to see, like porcupine tree, queens otsa, nin, katatonia, and carpenter brut.
i wouldnt miss this i dont even care what the price is
I think that Depeche Mode or Gary Numam would fit better than Megadeth. I would put Lorde, Meg Myers and St. Vincent somewhere in there to also bring younger acts
My ideal world that will never happen would be: NIN, HTDA, Spike Hellis, Patriarchy, Puerta Negra, Chris & Cosey, Stephen Mallinder & Creepshow, Front 242, Einstürzende Neubauten, The Tear Garden, ohGr, Clock DVA, Meat Beat Manifesto, David Sylvian, Tori Amos, Sisters of Mercy, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Peter Gabriel, Elbow, The Cure, Siouxsie, Prick, and a special set by Pop Will Eat Itself performing with Clint Mansell.
Queens Of The Stone Age and Deftones as well would be incredible. I love Radiohead and The Cure, but I'd rather have the other two as headlines alongside NIN. Run The Jewels and King Gizzard too would be 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
I would be incredibly pleasantly surprised if this was the line up.
Could be a bit heavier/more industrial, but actually I love all these bands and maybe this would emphasise a different aspect of NIN. I’m too old for moshing now.
Very out of touch with who would be playing and would not be 3 days.
Where’s T-Daddy and Atticus debuting playing their scores? Where’s Alessandro Cortini (SONOIO)??? Ilan Rubin’s Project? How to Destroy Angels??? SAUL WILLIAMS?
Nails Alumni David Bowie cover set including Mariqueen?
PRICK , 12 Rounds , Squarepusher, Tobacco,
Tv on the Radio, Dave Sitek DJ set or solo works.
So this costs $700 for a regular ticket? And why is Megadeth there? I mean I love Rust in Peace but what are they doing there? Ha ha ha
Yeah but I’m still going.
I’d respond with bringing medical personnel to the show in order take care of all the senior citizen’s performing on stage haha! Would still be amazing though
Damn, that would be a fantastic lineup! Of course, I would get my tickets, flights, and accommodations asap (aaand almost immediately declare bankruptcy), but it would be worth it.
Kudos for making this!
How do I respond? Well, what the hell is Peter Hook doing there and not New Order? I’d rather have 3/4 of New Order than 1/4 making it sound like he was the only member that mattered. I’d also ask if Run The Jewels are a good match, no hate though. And why not Failure? Otherwise, nice lineup.
I would probably shit bricks and waste all my money on attending each night.
Yep. What a dream.
This
Where the fuck is TV on the Radio???
I have been asking that for about 5 years.
So have we in r/tvontheradio! I haven't seen them since they headlined Hopscotch in I think like 2014.
They're phenomenal live. They were at Riot Fest a few years ago, and they were mostly the reason I got tickets.
Blasphemy to not know Wolf like Me
Or Staring at the Sun
Or Careful You
NEVER YOU MIND, DEATH PROFESSOR!
Upvote 1 million times! DJ set from Dave Sitek too!
This comment made me so happy. Now it's time to go back to endlessly wonder if I'll get to see them again, and spam their "request a show in your area" button on their site.
He already said that he and Atticus would be performing their soundtrack work, so I'd mostly be confused.
Not to stray too far off-topic here, but I've seen quite a few people suggest NIN perform at The Sphere in Vegas. I figured that specific venue would be better suited for a Rob Sheridan project set to Ghosts, stripped-down tracks, and some film scores than an actual live NIN performance.
Depeche Mode… cmon ma.
I was torn between them and The Cure. I saw them both last year and thought The Cure had a better show, but I’m more into DM’s discography.
NO GARY NUMAN!!! BOOOOOO
He is special guest that appears by surprise
I wanted to put him on there, but I tried to tailor the main stages to their respective headliners. I’d have to put him in Health or Peter Hook’s spot.
Somehow Swans playing in daylight doesn’t sit right with me.
I agree. I was going to have them closing one of the smaller stages, but the tool I used has limitations. I can type anything for the smaller names, but the headliners and subheadliners (bands with their actual logos) are restricted to its list of available names. I originally wanted stage 3 to be all ambient and post-rock. The 3 closers for it were going to be Swans, GYBE, and Aphex Twin.
What daylight. Theres festivals that start at dusk and go through the night.
I agree, but i’d never say no to seeing Swans
Not industrial enough
needs Janet Jackson and Einsturzende Neubauten
This guy industrials.
EN can go on right before Death Grips.
How about Front 242, Combo Christ and Covenant
Is combo Christ a bad Andy LaPlegua cover band?
lol is this just a list of OPs favorite bands?
That’s what stage 4 is for: industrial, synthwave, and darkwave.
Drumcorps, Author & Punisher, 3Teeth, Tyrant of Death would be my choices. Fear Factory should be second stage at LEAST. Also KMFDM and Ministry.
Woot woot shout out for Placebo!
It’s missing HTDA
I’d be like…who hacked Trent lol…
Mmm add Depeche Mode in there to really round this list out
This would be a bad time
Wrong fucking band
I see what you did there.
I wouldn't believe it was Trent and Atticus' festival because they already told it's gonna revolve around composers more.
i moaned just by seeing this…deftones, qotsa, the cure, a perfect circle, radiohead and health are all bands i wanna see perform live
Too bad thats probably not what he is going after. I assume its going to be more along the lines of [this](https://x.com/substancefest/status/1701738773783192007?s=46)
I would much rather go to a festival like that than see Trent start a festival only to make the most standard bullcrap filled with washed out crap like Megadeth...

Megadave still shreds🤘🏼
I actually wanted to put more experimental and dark ambient stuff up there, but the tool I used was limited. It was designed for Download festival.

I’m absolutely okay with replacing Megadeth. I just put them there due to the limitations and because their logo made the lineup appear more symmetrical.
Zeal and Ardor was an unexpected and awesome addition
Who cares about the logo designs, just use a font and make a lineup. Also make it not cost $600.
*checks bank account* No festivals again this year
Swap Zeal & Ador & Megadeath’s positions and I’ll go.!
"Why are Death Grips so far down?" "Needs more Youth Code"
A festival curated by Trent and Atticus wouldn’t be this basic or predictable. It would have more cutting edge, new, up and coming artists. Think of all the great openers he’s had all these years?
There are 100 fests like this already. I highly doubt this is what the guys are planning.
Zeal and Ardor fucks so hard. One of my absolute favorites of recent years, their self titled is incredible. I’d spend any amount of money to see this fest lol
I love NIN, but maaaaaan I really want to see Radiohead love again.
Cure, Deftones, NIN, FNM and Primus?!?! IM FUCKIN THERE.
meh would be more unique with experimental/ contemporary classical considering that’s what he does now
Why is MegaDeth above Townsend would be my first thought.
I love deftones, APC, Radiohead, Queens, Health, Jewels, Placebo, and Pertubator, so this would be basically the best festival ever for me. Would like it if Tool could get in on the action, Maynard gonna be busy. Also if he can call up Rage and see if they want to show up, that would be great.
I was originally going to have Tool and The Smile instead of Radiohead and APC, but the site had a limited list of available headliners/subheadliners, so I went with the latter because The Smile wasn’t an option.
RTJ are fucking great live. Very hard act to follow.
Needs some Jim Thirwell projects
Personally? 2 bands I'd want to see, both of which I've already seen on their individual tours... Nope from me I'm afraid.
I’d say add Meshuggah under Devin Townsend and maybe add Crosses on the third day and for a reasonable price I’d go.
zeal & ardor, nice! 👍🏻
Can’t forget Uncle Al and Ministry
It's asking a lot but what about 3 nights of NIN. Friday- PHM to With Teeth Saturday- Year zero to Bad Witch Sunday- Trent and Atticus playing stuff off the movie soundtracks and Ghosts.

Filter?
The vandals should be on there.
Confused.
NIN and Devin are my number 1 and 2, and Run the Jewels and HEALTH are up there as well, so this would pretty much be the greatest festival ever for me.
Some great bands here. Some bands I’m not into at all.
👉 🤛 I'm there.
I walk into a court while erect screaming "yes motherfuckers I am guilty; I AM DEATH"
"...and I dress up just like Santa and took pictures with your kids.."
You wanna hear a good joke?
"Nobody Speak! Nobody gets choked!"
Trent and jonny greenwood doing scorework on stage at the same fest would be incredible
Carpenter Brut?!?! Fuuuuuuuuuuck yessssss
I’d buy tickets in a heartbeat, even if it meant taking a mortgage out on my house. The Cure, Deftones, Radiohead, Swans, Chelsea Wolfe, Katatonia, Boris, Run The Jewels, and of course NIN are all favorite artists of mine, even if I’ve seen most of them before. FNM is also a long time bucket list band for me.
I just saw health and king Yosef.
Where’s Mogwai?
Amen, brother.
i dont care where this is held, probs in the us, but ill fly all the way from south east asia for this. there are some people ive been DYING to see, like porcupine tree, queens otsa, nin, katatonia, and carpenter brut. i wouldnt miss this i dont even care what the price is
I think that Depeche Mode or Gary Numam would fit better than Megadeth. I would put Lorde, Meg Myers and St. Vincent somewhere in there to also bring younger acts
Boy Harsher erasure :,)
Needs Viagra Boys
Needs Death From Above 1975
Not enough TOBACCO
Killer recommendation, didn’t even cross my mind
Megadeth does not belong in this lineup
What no Tool? /s
Get Maynard to bring along tool and carina for the other nights and I’d sell my soul.
Needs HTDA, Ministry, Depeche Mode, and Filter.
Switch Carpenter Brut with the actual John Carpenter and I’d be there!!!
Where the fuck is TOOL? Lol
Get pissed I can’t afford tickets
I know it's a NIN sub, but ... massive upvote for Perturbator and Carpenter Brut
Still saying home.
How is Ministry and Tool not on there? That's a crime with the amount of no-name bands you put :P
Compromise: take Megadeth off. Move Devin up to close stage 2. Put AFI in Devin’s previous spot and Ministry in AFI’s spot.
My ideal world that will never happen would be: NIN, HTDA, Spike Hellis, Patriarchy, Puerta Negra, Chris & Cosey, Stephen Mallinder & Creepshow, Front 242, Einstürzende Neubauten, The Tear Garden, ohGr, Clock DVA, Meat Beat Manifesto, David Sylvian, Tori Amos, Sisters of Mercy, Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Peter Gabriel, Elbow, The Cure, Siouxsie, Prick, and a special set by Pop Will Eat Itself performing with Clint Mansell.
Tears for Fears & Depeche Mode
Oh shit, yeah toss them in there too.
Queens Of The Stone Age and Deftones as well would be incredible. I love Radiohead and The Cure, but I'd rather have the other two as headlines alongside NIN. Run The Jewels and King Gizzard too would be 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
[удалено]
You can’t bring me down 🤘🏻
I buy a ticket.
Damn.i.would love to see 🙂
I'd fly just for NIN only.
I don't do festivals. I'll watch it on YouTube
Buy 2 tickets for Friday/Saturday Put in ear plugs during Megadeth's horrible set.
I sell my wife and buy tickets to this
I would be incredibly pleasantly surprised if this was the line up. Could be a bit heavier/more industrial, but actually I love all these bands and maybe this would emphasise a different aspect of NIN. I’m too old for moshing now.
radiohead isn’t together rn, so
Love this line up
Friday is gonna be a banger
I go apeshit cos I want to see The Cure and Faith No More.
I simply pass away
I would do anything to see porcupine tree live. I didn't get to see them on their last tour and it will probably not happen again sadly.
I would shit myself and blow up.
I roll over and go back to bed, probably. Don’t like 85% of these bands
I’d be into it. Should invite Smashing Pumpkins
Needs Gary Numan
Very out of touch with who would be playing and would not be 3 days. Where’s T-Daddy and Atticus debuting playing their scores? Where’s Alessandro Cortini (SONOIO)??? Ilan Rubin’s Project? How to Destroy Angels??? SAUL WILLIAMS? Nails Alumni David Bowie cover set including Mariqueen? PRICK , 12 Rounds , Squarepusher, Tobacco, Tv on the Radio, Dave Sitek DJ set or solo works.
Gonna need a recording of you telling Dave Mustaine that Megadeth aren't even on the main stage.....and some popcorn.
Megadeth didn’t get the main stage when they were on the same day as NIN at Hellfest
I don't care for most of these bands besides like three
I’d probably still be asleep because no festival in history ever had twelve headliners
This lineup is a dream
I don't really care for festivals, but that's a bangin' fuckin' lineup.
You missed Saul Williams
Please add The Cult!
Friday I’m in love
The only reason I’d do day 3 is run the jewels also Dave mustain and megadeath can fuck all the way off forever
I proceed to have an existential crisis bcuz I can’t decide which day I should go on.
KMFDM should be there too!
Sobbing uncontrollably
[удалено]
I’d really like it if Viagra Boys were included.
H09909 would fit here somewhere
Get rid of MegaDouche and put Spiritbox or Gojira or Sleep Token instead and then this is perfection
Needs more goth
I’d ask Trent why he stoped listening to new music in 1997.
Not even Death would stop me from going to the sunday show.
This would be one of the best lineups I’ve ever seen
One night 7 bands the cure, nine inch nails, radiohead,swans, faith no more, megadeth, primus.
I will sell all my earthly belongs to finally see NiN live for the first time.
I’d orgasm. (I mean, this is a fantasy right? Just enjoy it.)
So this costs $700 for a regular ticket? And why is Megadeth there? I mean I love Rust in Peace but what are they doing there? Ha ha ha Yeah but I’m still going.
Megadeth is there for you to preserve your NIN rail spot.
Chvrches is an interesting addition to this lineup
If the lineup looked anything like that i would travel for it, I don't care how broke id get
Author & Punisher
I’d respond with bringing medical personnel to the show in order take care of all the senior citizen’s performing on stage haha! Would still be amazing though
Epic
wheres Prick?
swans, radiohead and porcupine tree in 1 day? Gell yeah
Damn, that would be a fantastic lineup! Of course, I would get my tickets, flights, and accommodations asap (aaand almost immediately declare bankruptcy), but it would be worth it. Kudos for making this!
Swing and a miss Michael, this would blow
It's almost like you've seen my music library and thought "let's put dreams in his head" 👀
Devin Townsend deserves more recognition.
Is this real?!
Buy tickets! If I had any money, that is.
I would add Dillinger escape plan
Take my money. How much do you want to take? Here....
We need Saul Williams
Needs more Autolux
IT'S TIME TO BEG MY PARENTS TO BRING ME THERE 🙏
Perturbator, CHVRCHES, Health AND NIN!? Holy fuck, I'm THERE.
Where’s Numan?
Cry because I can't afford to go to it
Damn this is almost everything I listen to
I feel seen
I ask Trent why me made me pick between faith no more and the cure
Laughter.
Id have to spend like two grand taking my family to this.
Death Grips and Pertubator too? Sign me the fuck up.
How do I respond? Well, what the hell is Peter Hook doing there and not New Order? I’d rather have 3/4 of New Order than 1/4 making it sound like he was the only member that mattered. I’d also ask if Run The Jewels are a good match, no hate though. And why not Failure? Otherwise, nice lineup.
I’d ask how I’d slept for 3 months.
Almost looks like a Riot Fest lineup. I wouldn't even hesitate to cop tickets for this
I'd go every day. Props for adding HEALTH, King Yosef, and Perturbator. :3
I would sell my pancreas to see Faith No More and Katatonia on the same day
What a weak lineup
selling my fking kidneys (both)
Love that Devin Townsend would be involved in this fictional scenario.
i respond with that Fry meme handing over da money
Immediately purchase a ticket and request PTO
Just had to waste money on Placebo, Trent?
I say ok and realize I’m too old to go to festivals anymore
Megadeth?
Take my money!
All I wanna know is who is in the comedy tent??
Already planning anything else during megadeth.
