Could Arcade Fire still play V?

[johnl]

Hugely optimistic shout but they don't seem to have anything booked for V weekend yet and would be the perfect crowd-splitter to play opposite Eminem. Not announced til their London show sells out.....

I'm still feeling depressed about V, but Arcade Fire could save the day along with The Boxer Rebellion, Airborne Toxic Event, Macabees or even a late swerve back for REM. Come on V...Do something for the Old Indie Shoegazers amongst us!!

Hasn't it already been confirmed that Primal Scream are headlining the second stage against Eminem?

Plus after headlining R&L last year, I doubt they'd go down a stage

[jump]

Nope.

[brfcstar]

No chance

[Dirty Boots]

No chance.

perhaps they can play below plan b?

It's funny because Arcade Fire headlined R&L last year and have got a lot bigger since then, and they're doing their own gig in Hyde Park this Summer. Even though V has more pop acts than R&L and gives fewer prime slots to bands like Arcade Fire it's likely they'd see playing third at V as a bit of a step down.

Ah OK, I thought you were round here too often to seriously think that. Sarcasm's hard to gauge on t'internet!

[brfcstar]

haha thats ok, there isnt much humour going on about lineups on the v/r&l forums this year.

Ha you should try the V festival Fourm on the V site some people over on that dont know what exclusive means.

[brfcstar]

I havnt been on festival official forums for years, are they still as bad then?

[thetime]

Yep its awful they all think the line up is the best ever.

[Flaminglippy]

could be worse could be the isle of wight lineup(minus the headliners).

You aint wrong...

The IOW official forum is the same though...people are so far up the organisers arseholes you can barely see the bottom of their shoes...plus theres a bloke on there who writes EVERY post like he's a pirate...unbelievable.

IOW has some decent bands on the Saturday, Vaccines, Seasick Steve, Iggy...but, loath as I am to say it, think V's probably got the edge on supporting bands this year...

Mind you, Tinie Tempah's pulled out (shame his dad didn't) so we might get somebody half decent...

[Flaminglippy]

moral of the story lippy is dont pick a festival just because if the headliners.

I should know better at my age...I've had it with the big UK ones now though...small is the way forward!

(annoying thing is, Kasabian I couldn't give a toss about about...KOL are mweh...its only Pulp & Foos that made me reach for the credit card and I've seen both of them loads)
