You obviously didn't get my sarcasm dan, of course she wouldn't play v...a shame though....

I quite clearly did realise you chose an old name at random, Bjork wouldnt play anywhere in UK anyway, and its not a shame shes not popular enough in the charts ;)

V wouldnt sacrifice money to have an old act

Quite an interesting comment there dan, having a mixture of older and newer acts is what v does well. Having the likes of James, travis, ocs brings in the older punters and the youngsters have the new acts aswel.

Aim your festival at mainly one age group is being very short sighted, you only have to look at the decline of reading/Leeds ticket sales to see that.

I never choose bjork as a random, I am a bjork obsessive with tattoos of the great women on my beautiful body.

..she headlined the other stage at Glastonbury about 3 years ago so does play uk, headlined connect festival and did a residency at Manchester international festival so does play in the uk. This is not even mentioning bjork headlining reading festival many years ago and headlining festivals all over the world.

We could get into a bjork debate, it would be like taking sweets of a child so will let you of with this one.

Okay I didnt know your extensive body art collection. Many years ago yeah, but thats like Travis and Texas headlining this year, just wouldnt happen. Ill let you 'win' if there was such a thing, I just expressed that Bjork wouldnt headline V as V wouldnt book her. If V were less money orientated then I could entertain the idea

On a similar note something you just said there about the second stage things, I have been thinking for a while what equivalence do you think 4music stage headliner would be if they were on main stage, or Other stage at Glasto. Your pretty experienced in festival matters I guess so what do you think

No problem dan, the older forum member know about me being over protective of bjork lol. If you stick around you will get used to that, although saying that I would be surprised if you know more than 1 bjork song.

Wayiam would be able to give you a more informative answer to that one. I'm still laughing at beady eye headlining c4 stage, ffs pile of piss.

My other half will be at BE at V & had pre-ordered their album and even he doesn't think they're big enough to headling 4music .

I think 2nd stage headliners are poor at uk fests this year, you only have to look at reading and Leeds for that. Although Glastonbury have portishead and xx which is pure heaven.

Have you not paid attention to last years line up. Stone Roses haven't released anything since 94 I beleive and they headlined. So V would have an old act headline

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
