Major Surprise

[j...rox]

I think we could be in for a mega surprise when the lineup is announced. My tip would definitely be in the foo / green day area as neither is even rumoured for Reading anymore.

Green Day below The Killers?

To be honest i will go if they announce either Sigur Ros or MGMT.

not a sniff for either mate. Just cos V have had lazy bookings this year doesnt mean they will feel anyway indebted to the paying public to put on a surprise. Don't mean to sound harsh but u aint gonna get anyone of that caliber playing below oasis or killers as these bands would throw theirtoys out of their proverbial prams. Dont mean to sound harsh with the above but if ur expecting summat like that your going to be very disappointed.

Wouldn't hold your breath mate.

Although if they announce the 2 bands you've mentioned I'll be delighted.

Dave Grohl announced the Foo's were on a break anyway so they won't show up. With regards to Green Day - don't like them so couldn't care less.

I think if there's going to be a major suprise it will be someone like Take That headlining C4.

Well dont forget everyone thought Coldplay were nailed on last year, although it looks unlikely the headliners are going to be anyone other than Oasis and Killers

[shoptildrop]

is it me or does there seem to me a complete lack of rumours this year prior to announcement? I know announcement is earlier this year but I'm sure there was more rumours floating on efests last year - this year there is hardly any :0(

I won't get your hope up too much on surprises esp headliners however the lack of rumours there is always that small chance isn't there?

I'm really interested to see if V pull in anything different from what has already been announced for other festies.....

yeah it has been a bit quiet this year...but so has the forum tbf. I remember this time last year this place was abuzz with people. Now it's the same regulars (or irregualrs in my case) and a few n00bs asking stuff that's already been mentioned.

We need something big to happen!! I might start a Coldplay rumour thread...

oh god don't do that again - how long did that drag out last year lol!!!

[produlum]

i thought killers and oasis was pretty much nailed in 100%

[headshrinker1979]

They are, they're the headliners

The only surprise would be a decent subheadliner who isn't doing the round or Channel 4 headliner

Along the likes of Beastie Boys, that would be a nice surprise

V Fest are too lazy these days to do "surprises", same old bands trotted out as previous years now. Line up has got very stale and boring IMO. Easy choices putting Killers and Oasis, same as previuos years now they throw the big money at the two headliners and the rest of the festivals line up suffer because of it!

[Benj]

Hehehhehe. I love the fact there's a 'Major Surprise?' thread before even the line up is announced this year!!

[Benj]

TBH it seems to be the case for a few festival based on bookings/rumours and isn't just V..... I would see what is announced on Monday before we completely burn them to the ground eh? As T/Oxegen are pretty much majority safe lineup tbh aren't they?

[DeadAmos]

haha what I am looking forward too is the restart of the Is it safe? thread

Are NME tickets safe??????????????????????
