Every spring, Northwestern students from every major wait in anxious anticipation for Mayfest to announce the artist lineup for Dillo Day. The anticipation this year was heightened due to delayed lineup announcements, leading North By Northwestern to wonder, “What’s everyone’s dream Dillo lineup?”

Students answered an anonymous Google Form to choose five artists and one campus band, with the stipulation that their lineup had to be somewhat budget-realistic — that meant no lineups of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars and The Weeknd. Without further ado, NBN presents: NU's Dream Dillo lineups.
