25 Years of DiS - What would the 5 eras of DiS be?

Someone suggested on my LinkedIn post that DiS could do an Eras tour… and it got me thinking of the MTV2 five night stand. Who would you book?

Off the top of my head - 4 acts per night plus a bonus thing, probably at The Barrowlands and filmed for Amazon Prime with a live Twitch Stream (as we’d need a corporate partner):

2000-2005 with Reuben (with special guests Biffy Clyro), Saul Williams, The Roots, and Deftones + Peaches after-party
2006-2010 with Phoenix, St Vincent, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and PJ Harvey + M83 after-party
2011-2015 with Grouper, EMA, Lizzo, and Paramore + Grizzly Bear chillout brunch
2016-2020 with Gia Margaret, Self Esteem, and Foals (with special guests Youthmovies and Hope of the States) + Charlotte Church’s late night pop dungeon
2021-2025 with Tomberlin, Gazelle Twin, Phoebe Bridgers (with Better Oblivion band), and SZA + Four Tet £5 dawn rave with squidie lights

Probably lacking loads of things. Like, Interpol should probably be on that first line up and there’s tonnes of hip-hop and weirdo electronica I’d book if it was more of an expansive nightmare before christmas weekender, but that’s probably for another thread

You should name each Era to set the tone.

Yeah, I’m not even sure what you’d call each era. I mean, I coulda done these just in eras of emo and melancholic songwriters and had LOW play on all the bills
