Muse won't be there (and definitely won't have a new album) and Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake would headline separate nights, not together.

Okay - replace Muse with a different band.

If they headlined separate it would be disappointing. I am sure a few punters would like to see them together?

Yeah but they most likely couldn't afford to have them both on one day.

[Anthonym93]

What effect do you think Live Nation will have on the line up?

[Pothuthic]

Kasabian could be an option

[Matt42]

Not going to quote people, but it doesnt matter if Muse have a new album or not, they are headlining Coachella with the same tour so if they wanted to do a UK Festival (which I think I heard they wont be doing) then they still could new album or not, doesnt matter.

Jay Z and JT would make sense for them to be on the same day co headling but I cant see it happening unfortunately, with a longer set for them to do their solo stuff without the other having a part in all their songs. That could be done by not having a Sub and just going all the way through where the change over would be.

I dont think V would clash Avicii and Calvin Harris, just wouldn't make sense. And I dont think Alt-J could headline 4music. Beady Eye maybe could as a way to make up for last year (both to the fans and their bank accounts). Jessie J wouldnt be 4th on main when she was 3rd on main this year. Lady Gaga could be a good headliner, I dont think Rihanna will be there, and Katy Perry could be a good 3rd or sub maybe, but I dont think she has enough pull as a headliner

I doubt Elbow would sub if they are headlining Glasto, but maybe they arent going to be there. I think Tinie Tempah could be a good 4music headliner against a band on main, maybe Kasabian or similar.

Passenger (-Daniel cheers-),

Yes he will clearly be the surprise headliner when one of the headliners gets pregnant...probably Jay Z getting pregnant

[Pothuthic]

I'd be happy with Katy, it might convince me to go.

I personally wouldn't go for Gaga, I saw her last month, she was good and everything, but I don't think she'd suit a festival for me

[sisco]

If its Jay Z and JT i would imagine they would be on seperate days.

Looks like Elbow are subbing Glasto, so wouldnt be anything subbing V too.

Would be more inclined to think something along the lines of:

Justin Timberlake

Lilly Allen

Ed Sheeran

Bastille

4 music - Chase and Status

Jay Z

Elbow

Pharrell Williams

Kaiser Chiefs

Avvici

[Pothuthic]

Any chance of Outkast?

[daniel.k]

Maybe Outkast for Glasto. Fits the description of not playing there before (I think)

[Pothuthic]

Yeah but if they are doing 40 festivals?

Bestival , Wireless and Glasto would be my guess, but TITP, IOW and V could be possibilities?

I m just not overly convinced about Jay Z and JT

[Anthonym93]

Any chance of Outkast?

Wonder if someone will steal them on an exclusive.

I would guess T and Bestival.

[Gucci Piggy]

They most likely wouldn't headline there, so the "never played before thing wouldn't matter, and by the sounds of it that criteria doesnt apply anymore (Neil said it had gone out the window today, basically)

[daniel.k]

If they can headline Coachella why wouldnt they do so at Glasto. I dont really know if they ever made it big over here I think I only know one of their songs but they must have had more. Also, if they wouldnt headline Glasto why would any other major festival have them as headliner

They're much bigger in America. Did anyone say any other major festival would have them as a headliner...?

[Kris_lcfc]

No. Just that they're doing festivals this year.

[daniel.k]

Sorry just thought as they are headlining America's biggest festival I thought they would have a better chance of headlining here if they were to play

[Tobieski]

Not at all, Phoenix headlined Coachella last year, yet only headlined the NME tent at R+L. The size of acts differs greatly between the US and UK.

^{Could you please fill out this questionnaire to help with my dissertation, its about V Festival! It would be a massive help and I would be very grateful! Thanks! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Y6W3VFW}

[sisco]

Tell u what why not put that in every thread going just to p*ss people off.

[thetime]

V will have a guitar band one day, they always have and will continue to do so.

V crowd is very mixed and they won't want to alienate the 25+ crowd.

[daniel.k]

How about Paul Weller playing V...might alienate the under 30's but we can go somewhere else to keep you purists happy
