Kasabian and Lady Gaga. I've settled on the decision that Mumford won't still be touring the album by that point (may be hopeful). If we're saying The Killers and Muse won't still be touring their albums next Summer, why would Mumford?

because they love to tour!!!!!!!!

I think Rudimental will be on main stage next year the crowd was packed, or at least high up on 4Music.

I could see a headliner pairing being one of mumfords or Coldplay and Gaga or if they struggle they could go for killers or kasabian or outlandishly bid for Arctic monkeys to piss Reading off

RHCP have played a number of times over the years. With a new album on its way I believe and the fact that Hylands played a few Chilli's videos over the weekend (always a sign) I would say they are already signed up for next year. I wouldnt rule out Nikki Minge or Bloc Party either.

Saying the chillis wouldn't fit the V crowd is a bit wrong in my opinion. Providing the undercard matches the day headliner you'll get a certain crowd. V 09 and 10 was very much the type of crowd I expect at a fest, the past 3 years have changed with the line up

Newer line ups are the way I think V will be going from now on. I could see RHCP playing if they were up against a big DJ which I think will be AVICCI next year. The under card could have bastille and imagine dragons on it but I think the under card won't change much just for a headliner

Unless they really pull something out the bag I won't be back 2014. Everyone in our group has noticed the decline in quality acts and the increase in 1 hit wonders and X factor rejects.

Maybe on the smaller stages there are more one hit wonders but on the main stages (barring James Arthur) there weren't really many 1 hit wonders on the top 2 stages. The futures tent had a few x factor rejects but ya didn't have to see them. I think I'll wait till the line up is out then think about getting a ticket or maybe try volunteer instead of paying

People over-emphasise the X Factor's prescence at V so damn much :( there were what four X Factor acts in low slots on the bill this year: one of them conveniently got ill when they realised they would have to fill a 40-minute slot with no songs, one of them got taken off the line-up with no fanfare and for no given reason, and the other two played the Futures Stage to an audience of probably sub-1k, it's not like X Fadder acts are exactly headlining the main stage is it!!

TBH there were quite a few XF acts, just nothing to moan about tbh

Misha B

Olly Murs

James Arthur

Little Mix

Gamu

Lucy Spraggan

Diana Vickers

LM and James dropped out, Lucy received pretty good reviews, Diana seems to have distanced herself from the show and Olly is a star in his own rights now.

Leaving Gamu and Misha B

Who on earth is Gamu lol

I was thinking the same thing? In all honesty I think we can expect the same sort of line up next year which is disappointing compared to when I started. I don't mind pop being there, but when it takes over its time for me to say goodbye V, and I don't think I'm on my own, their Facebook page is getting battered!
