i will be attendingb ut not got ticket yet....will be purchasing from ebay as I do alot..

less hassle and you can get a right bargain. I just havnt the patience to get tickets for festivals on the day they go on sale.

She's a credible artist, so what she was on the X Factor two years ago. Get over it. She's gone to the start and taken her time writing her own album, and playing small venues instead of going straight to arena's like most X Factor artists. Dont' get me wrong, I HATE the X Factor, it's ruining music. But Diana is alright.

it be good if her middle name was "Sucks"

I dont mind diversity at a festival

As a thirty something year old - it does make me laugh that people will simply not like an artist because they were on X Factor..... having said that, I think I was pretty much the same 15 - 20 years ago!

I remember the days when there was a mini outrage when it was announced that Kylie would headline the tent!!

There wouldn't be an eye batted if she was announced topping the main stage bill these days.

V has definitely moved on and obviously now appeals to a far more mainstream crowd, its not a bad thing as such, its a shame for those who used to enjoy attending but don't bother any more or at least don't enjoy the music half as much as they used to.

I still do Reading and will probably do Pearl Jam in Hyde Park as an alternative to V this year, its a shame though as I was a regular attender from 97-08 and I did used to enjoy it.

Diana Vickers has done some amazing stuff since moving on from the X-Factor and it would be nice if she goes round the festival circuit this summer.

The Big Top 40 hosted a video chat with her recently and I think some of you would be interested in watching it. Check it out:- http://www.bigtop40.com/features/diana-vickers-video-chat/

Look at me, i'm so into music. I'm displaying this by saying someone 'pop' is terrible and doesn't belong in a ever changing festival

and no, i', not a fan of her myself, her songs decent though.

[Justiceforcedave]

Vickers is going to be playing at V. So says a member of her touring band.

Your wrong on 2 counts mate - 1. I'm not posturing. 2. Her song is laughable, not decent.

[Toooly]

So, because you think her song is laughable, she shouldn't appear at V?

[StevenHooper]

No, not just becasue the song is laughable, I'm saying these sanitized, powder puff, here today gone tomorrow artists (and you can also add Cheryl Cole and The Sugababes etc.. to that list) shouldnt play V at all ......

I've been over this before in this thread - but I don't think we should accept this mentality of "catering for everyone". Doing this lessens the Festival IMO, and if it carries on you'll end up paying £165 to see 2 bands you like over the weekend.

[Toooly]

Or... i'll go with the logical thinking here over your biased view.

People who go to V are generally okay with the acts that perform. You must've known what kind of acts would be announced so why didn't you expect this? or indeed go to another more rock orientated festival
