Big announcements?

[Flaminglippy]

Just trawling through websites to see if any other bands are rumoured to be playing and noticed that Keane have got on their myspace that they're on stage at 8pm at V (although they've put that for all their festival dates)...if thats correct, they're not headlining...which would suggest that there are some pretty big names tbc...(unlikely that the Enemy would headline as this would put them in direct competition with Oasis, plus they're below Keane on the V website)

Now...if this is right and theres a band bigger than Keane being announced (Kaisers?, Primals? Manics? Basement Jaxx ??)...whats the possibility of bigger headliners being confirmed for the Arena?? Its been said a few times that 2manydj's and MGMT aren't really big enough compared to acts who've previously filled those slots...

This might be the textbook definition of optimism but I think we could be surprised...God, it would would mean that the 'noobs' were right (although, remember, you can't spell 'noob' without the letters 'n','o','b','s')

I can rule out Deadmau5 for certain. He would of been amazing as the top act for the Arena.

There must be some big band/dance act that's keeping their lips tightly sealed. We'll have to see in the coming weeks if they'll appear to go at the top of that bill.

id love to think that this could be right but I think we all know that its not.

Keane are our headliners as are 2manysdjs (whoever the f**k they are)

This years is pants and im afraid its going to remain so

I'm sure 2Manydj's (and MGMT for that matter) will be a crowd pleasing act but there's no way they should be headlining, look at the list of previous arena headliners & it's apparent they've saved a few quid this year. TBH having 2 of the headliners on 2 stages consisting of blokes playing records shows a serious lack of imagination.

Totally disagree. It's not all about bands and knowing how diverse V fest, they are better additions than some of the pop crap we could of had. You might say "oh leave this to dance fests", but can we really define V festival anymore? Probably not apart from being a commercial mainstream festival

2ManyDJs I think will absolutely rock the tent this year better than anyone else. Have a look for them on Youtube. They mix-up tracks together very cleverly. If anyone has any sense, they'd go see them because of how understatedly good they are.
