V festival

[disco-dani]

Alot of people have said certain acts cant be playing cause theyre playing V. Is there something in the contract that means they cant play both?

And is it only for headliners or everyone?

Or is it just cause R/L like exclusive acts?

There are a few acts that have been announced for V that id like to see!

Kasabian, Kooks, Courteeners, Florence and the machine (amazing last year), Doves...

Go to V then, because they won't be at Reading/Leeds.

The way I understand it is that it writtn into be V festival contract for almost every band

beause the two fests are so close together. I could be wrong but even if it's not in the

contract only a few tiny bands in the last few years have played both!

An act who plays Reading and Leeds won't play V and vise-versa, its been this way since 2005.

The only way around it is

if an act plays the other festival under a different name or unannounced like Kaiser Cheifs did in 2008

if an act pulls out last minute and they're allowed to play by the other festival

if an act gets booked at V in a dance tent and not one of the main stages, theres been a few Reading acts played V over the years by doing this The Whip and Foals are two that come to mind

Kasabian did both one year but were advertised as K*S*B*N on Reading posters. GLC did both too but weren't announced for Reading until V was done.

So some bands might play both, but it's very unlikely, and definately none of the ones you mentioned.

Off to see Kooks in Leeds O2 Academy anyway so. Then I saw most of the others at Leeds Fest last year anyway. Now just to see Kasabian.

just had a look at the v line up. one, it gave me shivers over how shit it is, and two i noticed ellie goulding is playing, so fingers crossed that bitch won't be at reading

[jopzorz]

if that's the type of music you're into, i don't know why you're bothering with reading and not just going to V?

[jopzorz]

thats not 'the kind of music im into', just some bands id quite like to see. But id much rather go to Leeds, if thats ok with you?

There are a few bands each year at V i wouldn't mind seeing this year being Kasabian, Kooks and Editors and i'd like to see the prodigy again. But i'd never go and a prime example of why is... Cheryl Coles playing this year.

[astrobaby]

However the thought of going to V festival instead of reading never crossed my mind due to the fact that I know that even if I dont love the lineup as much as other years i will still have a better time at reading than at V. The atmosphere, relaxing with friends, discovering new bands and generally having a good time never change year in year out.

damn it no florence and probably no vampire weekend

and no i don't want to go to the v fest!!!
