I cannot see why people have such a problem with V !

It is not Glasto , but then Worthy Farm is a bit quiet 4th week in August

If its Faithless and Kasabian I think I am going !

:P

For fear of being shouted down V is certainly not Glastonbury, never will be and doesn;t aim to be !

It's a big concert with popular bands

Yes I'm going this year, Obviosuly if I had to choose G would win hands down, but V is an excuse to go to a 'middle of the road' festival with lots of friends who would not go to G, meet loads of friends from 'home' and generally have a good time

I'm hoping Faithless play, just so I don;t have to worry about potential clashes at G

V fest will go ahead this year as usual and as usual it will create even MORE people who realise it is really shit and therefore they will swear never to return and give Glasto a try instead.

Admittedly this has been happening for a few years now but the momentum it is gathering is very noticeable...especially when you walk around Glasto these days.

(insert quote of Langdale Wolf here - i can't do it as browser is having a hissy fit)

I do tire on these boards of people putting down other festivals on principle.

At the end of the day they all serve the same function and each has their own approach. Yes, Glasto is special and unique but that doesnt make the approaches of the more commercialised ventures wrong. So far as putting down the line-ups 60% of them will be at Glasto anyway and the naysayers are probably just jealous.

I have been to Reading and wouldnt mind TITP or V but Glasto takes priority - all down to money constraints and line-ups there after. Would people please get over themselves and stop bitching about every little thing. If you don't like it don't go - simple as!

(I understand most posts on here are not anti but this is a reaction to the earlier TITP thread aswell where there were several people talking out of their behinds)

Been to V twice but wouldn't go again.

Saw some good acts and had some fun, the atmosphere in the tents is particularly good but unless they have changed in the last 4 years the organisation is just so bad that personaly I wouldn;t go again. Not putting down V on principle but my considered opinion.

They just want your money and are happy to show it, in my opinion this rubs off on us punters and the whole atmos is much much more agressive than other festivals that I have been to.

That's exactly what I did in 2004. I got right up the front.... and no one around me had any clue who Pixies were (they played after N*E*R*D, so I guess that's why). :P Still a great show though

On the plus side, I enjoyed N*E*R*D much more than I thought I would, and chatted with a N*E*R*D fan who enjoyed Pixies much more than he expected, so can't complain about the crowd too much :P

      I've been told beer will be cheaper until 6pm. Anyone can confirm?   Not like i'll drink more than 1-2 in 38 C degrees.

      Slam Dunk 2027

      By northernangel · Posted

      This!   Biffy Clyro I don't think would ever get asked, I just don't think it us their scene and it certainly wouldn't be a wise move for them after how the Finsbury Park show went. If they ever had a chance of regaining or staying a bit higher up taking Slam Dunk isn't how you do it. For the cost of it now I think being into the main headliner does make a difference though.

      Sabrina I actually think is alright, but as an overall thing including Fontaines in the mix it does look very boring.

      I went to the O2 show as had cheap NHS tickets. I did love the whole Machine Gun Kelly vs MGK Emo/Pop Punk stuff amusing and could see that show going down well. I thought it was so funny watching the video skits of a die hard old skool fan gradually morphing in to an Emo Kid. That show with less old Machine Gun Kelly tunes and more MGK Pop-Punk would be ace.   Pair him against a heavy act on the other stage and jobs a goodun,

      Not sure if this is allowed, but I have an additional daily ticket which I’m willing to sell for a heavily reduced price. If you, or someone you know wants to go that day, but wouldn’t for the original price, let me know.    Edit: It’s for Friday
