Blimey, there is some serious snobbery on this thread, how can this line up be classed as terrible, surely it represents popular modern music, plenty of dance acts thrown in, I'd be happy with loads of these acts at Glastonbury, and I'm sure loads will be there.

Why is it a shame? I love a good barney.

Having had a look at the line up now, I don't think it's that bad. There's a good half a dozen or so bands/acts I'd want to see and there's some variety there. The majority is (to coin a Tugger2K phrase) "Indie Landfill".

I have heard some bad stories about V (Bad crowds, trouble, poor organisation mainly) so if that's the case then I can see why some would be critical. And this is an open forum so what the hell.

Quite a few good bands on there but it is very very mainstream but then I suppose that is what V is trying to appeal to.

Lots of mates have been and it's more a posers festival than a music festival. Plenty of lads / lasses dressed as if they are on a night out rather than in a field

Haha! Langdale I am now eating humble pie in this case. Though even you can't deny the point of my mini rant! (I was citing your post as the most to hand example even if you were having a troll sesh!)

The V line-up this year does lack imagination but it will keep the punters happy eh!

hook line and sinker is the term I believe. I tip my hat!!! :P

No worries. I promise to behave from now on.

Yeah if people are happy with that, I'm pleased for them. A few mates of mine aren't doing Glastonbury and are going to V instead - fools. They've yet to go to Glastonbury and I think the moment they do they'll wonder why they ever insisted on V. But when they see that, I don't think they'll be very impressed. Especially since they're a bit gutted to be missing out on U2 and Stevie.

Difference of musical opinion is great. And ive no problem with people slagging bands that they just cant stand, its a bit of fun, and its the fact people dont like the same things drives diversity, also a splendid thing.

And it would seem most people who have been to both Glastonbury and V, prefer Glastonbury, I certainly do, and it just seems better on a lot of levels, so Ive no problem with that.

But,

For all of you who could put on your party boots for V fest, have a good time, and enjoy the music, despite it not being as good as Glasto - I salute you, youre my kind of person, lets go for a beer! :P

For all of you haters, who dismiss a whole festival and all that attend as rubbish, who couldnt have a good time there cos you'd spend too much time bitching about how un-original the bands are, or how they are 'so two years ago', who seem to generally dislike more music than you like, well, given the chance i'd swap a few of you at Glasto 2010 for a few V-festivallers, and im sure they'd bring more to the party. :P

I can't remember who it was - possibly Peevis - who once said that the order of "How good UK festivals are" goes like this :

1 - Glasto

2 - Every other festival, other than

3 - V-Festival.

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
