pretty possible I would say.

opinions, apart from headliners it looks awful.

[mercury]

i cant see the kooks playing that high nowadays to be honest. i think noel g is more likely as a main stage sub headliner too.

[RossTC]

Coldplay are playing there own stadium tour so cant see them headlining festivals aswell.

They do there last show in the US then have a 2 week break and then play a show in denmark. looking likely in my opinion

[luckysalt]

The Coldplay tour ain't exactly massive. It could be many more venues and dates, so theres scope for a festival date

Im pretty shocked they haven't played V since 2003 nearly 10 years!

I think Coldplay would be a better booking than Muse. Muse have headlined twice since Coldplay did.

Maybe wrong but aren't one of the headliners normally exclusive as in no other fests/shows and if the other headliner is Stone Roses it would rule Coldplay out.

The Stone Roses are playing T in the Park so that theory is either wrong, or V festival will be coldplays only festival.

Read again, 1 headliner is exclusive. If 1 headline is Stone Roses the other would have to be exclusive as in no other shows like in 2011 with Eminem, 2010 with Kasabian etc. Not sure if that's a 100% but that's what I remember someone else saying before.

Kasabian headlined TITP in 2010

You probs need a good slot for The Vaccines too but I do think Noel will play V and kinda hope he does as I have arena tickets.

I'd be more than happy with that! Coldplay are incredible! Deadmau5 is on my list to see and would love to see The Kooks new album. Got my fingers crossed you're right as its a realistic looking line up too

[James Harris]

That is probably more accurate and realistic than mine. I only wish Coldplay and Swedish House Mafia do not perform on the same night and clash. Deadmau5 is a good alternative but I would prefer Swedish. As well as Florence and Example but clashes are inevitable.

[luckysalt]

Im thinking


DAY 1
MAIN

Stone Roses
Beady Eye
Happy Mondays
Friendly Fires
Example

SECOND STAGE

JLS
Tinie Tempah
Professor Green
Pixie Lott

THIRD STAGE

Deadmau5

DAY 2
MAIN

Coldplay
Florence
The Kooks
Jessie J
Ed Sheeran

SECOND STAGE

Noel G
White Lies
The Vaccines
Pidgeon Detectives

THIRD STAGE

Orbital

AND also playing across the weekend

LMFAO
Olly Murs
James Morrison
Cher Lloyd
The Big Pink
KT Tunstall
Noah and The Whale
The View
Katy B
Wretch 32


something like that....

[Music nut]

I think if Ed Sheeran played he would be higher than that. Plan B subbing last year with just 1 commercially successful album.  Also think Deadmau5 would have a better stage than 3rd.

You're pretty much spot on every year, see no reason why this year will be any different looking at that prediction...

[luckysalt]

Cheers

probably One Direction be thrown in there too, but they'd have to be in a position that their record company would feel they were protected in, IE a short set that isn't before a act which is a totally different crowd.
