[brettredmayne]

Think the cribs will be on the main stage for sure

[leedsleedsleeds]

courteeners - no if they are playing v and mgmt and cribs more than likely - but more than likely cribs than mgmt

[rexclark]

why carnt bands play both?

[leedsleedsleeds]

Because they normally have clauses in there contract so they can't, thios is so the festivals sell more tickets but really it's just a load of shit.

[JAnderson]

gutted, i love them!

in other words any band at V wont play leeds

[leedsleedsleeds]

Nah..

Courteeners were absolutely amazing in Newcastle last night.

[redcarsgofaster]

they played last year so no big loss that they arent playing this year

[kev1664]

Thing is a lot of the bands playing V this year played R&L last year. So R&L won't be bothered at all.

Also the repatition of acts gets a bit boring especially on the top two stages. I don't mind when bands step up from the lock-up or FR stage to NME or Main, but when ther are constantly booking the same bands it gets boring.

[leedsleedsleeds]

so why do they only show us the line up when the tickets come on sale?

what does it achieve?

[leedsleedsleeds]

Panic buying.

It always sells out quickly and people know that, so they release the line-up the same time as the tickets knowing lots of people will be buying anyway. This in turn then causes the unsure people to get one anyway even if the line-up does not suit them.

yeh good shout mate!

chances of getting a ticket?

getting 4 for me and my mates!

[leedsleedsleeds]

pretty sure you are limited to 2 tickets per card this year so probably safest getting your mates to try as well

[redcarsgofaster]

there is an exclusivity because of how close they are... shame as well would love bands like tepmer trap to play :|

[mot.123]

all the decent bands bar kasabian who are playing V played last year though(kings of leon, the prodigy, white lies, passion pit, temper trap, florence and the machine, the courteeners), cant just keep playing the same all over again. the only bands they have playing who didnt play last year and would have been good at leeds would have been editors and doves

[mgleeds]

temper trap were amazing last year!!

its 4 tickets per person

cribs are defo playing... the lead singer confirmed to my friend

ROLL ON LEEDS!!
