2012 Lineup

[VCK]

A bit off topic, but this will be the third time in six years that The Killers have headlined V

Some people might think Kasabian and Foos headlining might be a bit too predictable but to be fair neither band has played since 2005. I think the bookers of V, like TITP, just run out of ideas.

[edfirth]

Only issue with Foos is that last year was the year to book them. New album was out, hype was there

[Mouseboy11]

Also, Young Guns new album is really good. Can see them playing somewhere!

I've never wanted a band to be announced for festival as much as I want Florence to be announced for V tomorrow.

Opening main stage?

[iPaulo xD]

probably something like then, Twin Atlantic will probably open on another day too!

Actually young guns may move up a place or two, they opened in 2010 and they have grown since

[iPaulo xD]

Are they any good live? Not seen them myself but i've heard good things!

[Mouseboy11]

Yeah, they are also supporting Enter Shikari on their latest tour

[iPaulo xD]

Ahh right cool, missed out on that tour so was gutted. Got a feeling they'll play a big show soon like Wembley.

[redcarsgofaster]

Anyone see Sleigh Bells playing? new album just released which is getting a lot of good press and the first album singles got a lot of air play

My reasoning was to have Korn and Skrillex on the same day for collaborating purposes, and to put a dance-oriented NME day against the rockier Main day. But I am going to swap the first two days over. Besides Kasabian and Maccabees aren't that similar, and it is good to split the crowd.

[iPaulo xD]

Would be cool having

Jay Z/Kanye

Dizzie

OFWGKTA

[mooseman]

Mastodon are playing T, any chance they could play R&L, maybe on the NME stage somewhere with ATDI headlining the same day? I think I've said it before but Frank Ocean playing would be good, again on the NME stage. I'm also starting to think Skrillex would be good, I don't like the weird little man but if you're fucked his music can be good. Just some ideas, you get me.

[Calzum]

With Bloc Party doing festivals in Sweden and Germany, surely they'll be at R&L righ?

[kev1664]

Tbh, I think a co-headline option of Deadmau5 and Mumford & Sons would have far more of a chance of selling out the festival than most people realise. I don't think it will happen, but if it did the kids would buy tickets, and anyone who's been to the festival in recent years knows what the age range is. I'm not a huge Mumford fan at all, but they are hyped to hell and are liked by a range of fans

[moz4pm]

Can we just have Mastodon headline please, 3 hour set

[LibertinesFanBoy]

Can we rule out everyone on the V lineup tonight? Like is it a case of you cannot play V and R/L in any circumstance?
