The longer Pendulum stay out of festivals, the higher the demand for them will be so maybe Knife Party next year and Pendulum 2015. If KP were at V, I doubt I would see them as I would probably be seeing one of the two top stage if I got a ticket

I know she is huge but I would rather her not headline or if she did then many she could headline a capital fm concert instead. I like her songs but she is no where near Beyonce and to headline a year after Beyonce the comparison would be made I think

I think it would make more sense to leave Pendulum out of the festival circuit next year, and just do one more year of KP. Especially if KP's album is getting released first in the year, suggests Pendulum's album might have a later release date. Although they could do some shows pre new album material, and then 2015 shows post new material.

I think Pendulum are looking more at late 2014, I reckon R&L have a good chance of securing them 1st but I'm quite confident they'll also do Glasto again in 15 should that all happen.

The idea of a new album without touring is only going to get hype and get people saying, tour!!

Katy perry could be a contender for next year.

Her new single Roar is 16 in the UK from pre-orders alone.

It's also predicted to be the highest selling and fastest selling single of 2013.

Unless I'm mistaken she had a mid-afternoon slot on 4Music last time she played V in 2011. Yes Roar is an anthem and the sales of it are huge but I can't see her suddenly jumping to main stage headliner just through one song. And in any case, 2011 was the Teenage Dream hype so she was hardly much less popular then.

EDIT: Sorry my mistake, her last appearance was 2009, before the Teenage Dream hype. But it was still mid-afternoon on 4Music back then so even 5 years on I can't see her anything better than third from top on main.

Don't bank on that, I think I'd rather see V put less emphasis on dance after this year's crowds anyway Edited by Zac Quinn

I can't see Lily Allen being third on main but I could see Katy Perry doing it. Looking at this year's line up the top 3 didn't really flow much so she could play under any headliner pretty much.

I don't think V will book less dance acts just based on crowds this year. The Rudimental crowd was big and Calvin Harris was too. I heard someone saying the kings of Leon crowd and the Calvin Harris crowd met in the middle of the two stages but I'm not sure if that was true

Same as lady Gaga. I think Gaga could be a name thrown into the hat as she has a new album soon and the single she released is selling fairly well. Gaga wasn't high last time she was at V but she is a headline contender. Whoever said Katy couldn't make the jump from low main stage to headliner must think Gaga has no chance at all just because of the jump :-P

I think Gaga could headline and Katy Perry play where Jessie J did this year or even sub.

Gaga is barely flopping her new single just isn't number 1?

Yet katy's is 1 everywhere, Katy just obviously has the better (more universally liked) song.

Gaga is still much much much bigger than Katy in terms of a stage act/headliner material.

    • 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
