Missing it? Feeling low? Well never fear for Sim Festival is here!
Starting off low you get to arrange a band for a local fete, but over time you can rise up, eventually getting the opportunity to be in charge of the biggest festivals in the world!
You'll have full responsibility for booking the bands, and making sure they're happy with their slots. Put Oasis second on the bill to Blur, and all hell is likely to break loose, so you'll have to manage relationships between artists, and ensure that battling bands don't cross paths.
It's down to you to place everything on the site. Place the stages or tents, the food and drink and any other such stalls and the like that you can get at your festival. Try to cause minimum site congestion, but made it relatively easy for your customers to get around.
Other duties include keeping the beer supply flowing, and making sure that all bear served is above room temperature. Make sure the beer tent is staffed to keep serving customers at a constant rate, or there could be riots.
You'll need a diverse range of food at the festival too, from seafood to ethnic meals. Make sure there are plenty more of these than there are your typical burger stands though, or tghe festival just won't have the right feel.
On site camping facilities will be up to you to provide. Make sure that the allotted area for camping is just big enough to hold enough tents for the capacity of the event, or you could find campers have set up right in front of the main stage, which could cause problems.
Toilets will also be a big issue, and you'll have to keep an eye on the 'stinkometer'. If the toilets get too disgusting people will avoid them, and just go where they are, which certainly has the potential to ruin a festival.
Other important things to manage in the game include security, you must stop people getting in without tickets, the turnstyles, and the types of goods sold on the stalls.
You'll also have to keep an eye on all the stages when the bands are playing, make sure the crowd are okay, and step in if people are getting crushed. If you choose, you can also pick out crowd surfers, rather than letting them crash to the floor.
Other factors which you'll have to cope with include varying weather conditions, including rains that turn your festival site into a swamp, and bands pulling out at the last minute, needing replacing and the like.
Sim Festival is the game to ensure that you never need go to a real festival ever again. Well, not if this game was real, and not made up.

Tch, Notables spamming again. Should be in the Game Ideas forum
PS: D'you think Notables should have a capital N?
[The more observant reader will notice that this post, rather than being insulting as it superficially appears, is in fact a well disguised way of popping an excellent topic. The less observant reader however, will most likely walk into a doorframe or somesuch object, thereby erasing all memeory of this post]
