V Festival lineup TBA tonight..

[LusciousLucy]

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.

[cabstar]

I don't mind V, I just wish they would be more imaginative with line up, nearly every band / act on that list played Glasto last the last 2 years!!!

Are The Prodigy going for hte most festivals played in 2 years???

[glastofever]

Kings of leon and Kasabian headline. When are KOL going to have a break!!!! Not very exciting hedliners

[safe]

yawnfest '10 ?

[Davness]

Pretty standard V lineup really. Predictable. Middle of the Road, generally pretty god-awful. V hasn't been cutting edge since the year they had Radiohead and Morrissey headlining. So predictable.

[MrMac]

Trust me mate you don't know how happy I would be if Pixies played V. Such a huge fan. Starting up a Pixies covers band with a bunch of mates infact- is that too obsessive??

So, so close - but just missed! She kept turning up on my Brixton ebay searches last year as well...

It's not even the 'next big thing' anymore. Most that lineup played V 3 or 4 years ago, it's recycling the old line up with a few new pop bands chucked in to make it look like they made a little effort in getting signings.

It is a bit of a shame.

Nowadays all V give a shit about it selling all their tickets, they don't really care about what would make a good festival band.

Hmmm have Sterophonics been confirmed for any other festival? Looks promising for Glastonbury. Also The Prodigy would be nice. Oh and Goldfrapp are in there too. All the rest I'm not surprised by because they are doing the festival rounds at the moment.

V isn't a bad festival-its just a rip off at 165 pounds for only 2/3 days

Stereophonics, The Kooks, Cheryl Cole, Shed Seven, Scouting for Girls, Pixie Lott, Kate Nash, The Sugababes... the list goes on.

Even by V's standards, this is a monumentally bad line-up...

Stereophonics are on for TITP I believe. Goldfrapp would be quite cool too

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

I wouldn't mind seeing The Charlatans..

[Funkyfairy!]

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 !

[Langdale Wolf]

(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)

[Colin88]

Corrr, what a terrible line-up! Only artists I'd like to see out of that lot are Plan B and Faithless.

[Mardy]

hehehe langdale, Good work

[Langdale Wolf]

hehehe langdale, Good work

[ivan]

I'm off

Kasabian

Faithless

White Lies

Editors

Goldfrapp

Groove Armada

I have seen all of them at Glasto so no bitching about line up from me !

[paolo1980]

I've rarely been as uninspired as for this year's V festival. They're usually not too bad for lineups but this year's is shockingly bad.

[Dark Star]

Agreed.

Only White Lies, Madness and Stereophonics (and none of the latest stuff) would interest me from that line up. And none of those 3 would have been super-excited.

It's a terrible lineup.

[srvman]

Paul Weller, Skunk A, Faithless, The prodigy...

I would be happy with any of them at glasto again

no oasis ?

[rexclark]

Awful awful line up.
