My personal opinion is that I wouldnt want to see Biffy at V

let's just say I know a group of about 20 guys that go to V nearly every year and we had a facebook debate over R&L and V - Biffy were at R&L and they were happy to being going V as they weren't.

A lot of V goers are happy as larry to pay and see all the mainstream chart stuff, dj stuff. A load of them are happy for Kasabian and probably the Arctics - but they are very different to Biffy.

And that means that V shouldn't book them because you don't want to see them?

At no point did I say they shouldnt book them, I just wouldnt want to see them there. Much like Kings of Leon, if Biffy were instead of KoL I would still be seeing Calvin Harris. If anyone wanted to see Biffy that much they would go to R&L like what I think thewayiam is saying

No why?

IMO phenomenal live. I don't like them at all, saw them at Glasto 2010 (due to friends saying that I really should), and wow! They were right. Saw them at the emirates a few weeks ago too, still fantastic.

Biffy are becoming more and more mainstream. They could certainly play V.

Started seeing muse live at the very start when they were amazing live, followed them around on several tours and even followed them around supporting skunk anansie(not a fan of skunk).

In my opinion they have been not very good live for the best part of 10 years, when you have to rely on lights and props it tells you alot.

His top 4 would be Beyonce. All 4 of them.

Nooo im trying to miss half of beyonce to see Steve Angello but I dont know if it would happen. Do you mean headlining their given stage over all the years of V, or am I limited to only the main stage headliners over the years?

I think he just means anyone. Any artist.

If we go JUST people that headlined the main stage, id go for Muse, Coldplay, Eminem and Kings of Leon. If we go any stage headlining over any years id say Beyonce, David Guetta, Ed Sheeran and Calvin Harris.

What about everyone else

I don't think the question was exclusive to acts that have headlined a stage at V. Just any act ever.

And mine would be Kanye, Bowie, Nine Inch Nails and Biffy. After Leeds I'll have experienced 3 of those, unfortunately the last is likely to never happen :(

If it was limited to acts that have headlined at V, probably Scissor Sisters, Arctics, Beyonce and Oasis, despite Arctics being a bit bland live, and Liam Gallagher sound like toss.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
