Next announcement wisk list

[mickg]

The first announcement was fairly safe and the headliners had been known for months, but there is little on the rumour mill about the next wave of announcements, and Ihave no doubt the next lot will be to.

Based upon history I would expect to see either Basement Jaxx or Groove Armada as they have to have a dance band as headliner on one of the stages each night and lets face it they are part of the V furniture, less likely but equally appropriate Underworld

Wouldn't be surprised if Human League or Ultravox appeared in the Arena.

I can't beleive that Keane will headline so lets hope its Blur versus Oasis and we all know who will pull the biggest crowd.

I would expect Placebo and Franz Ferdinand to play on either the main stage or Channel 4.

Lets hope that the organisers are a little more adventurous this and go outside their comfort zone and get bands like Flogging Molly, Skindred and The Datsuns

[Angelis]

not helpful i know but im bored

[luckysalt]

No chance of Placebo, Groove Armada or Blur

Keane are headlining sadly as well

Human League & Ultravox are good shouts

Really this year I doubt anyone is going to get added that will make me sit up and go wow V booked them! im excited

Think it will be just the same old artists

[brfcstar]

I think the next announcement will show no surprises or huge acts added. I think all festivals have stuggled to fill the line ups this year i hope im wrong and V announce some massive acts but just cant see it.

Im hoping they announce

Doves

Mystrey Jets

Shed 7

Primal Scream

Redlight Company

[Sheppyy]

i would like air traffic to come this year they have done the last two years, the kooks mite be in with a shout in the arena

[TheNewUnion]

I can see Supergrass being announced soon, hoping for someone like Feeder too but not breath holding?

Anyone got the details of last years second announcement to give a bit of context to what we might be able to expect?

Just reading through and if we get Madness, Supergrass & Starsailor, Id be very happy, add in Gomez and V would looks loads better

[PaulDavis]

[luckysalt]

I think The Magic Numbers will be back this year, I also expect Foals to play

[staffsknot]

Madness would be awesome, did Madstock one year and it was the craziest gig I have ever been too! People in Fez or Baggy Trousers bouncing up and down on the tube

Anyone else want Weezer to turn up? I think they would be awesome.
