Nah Justin's fanbase are nowhere near as intense so it should be a better atmosphere.

And plus I don't think many will buy a ticket just for him, unlike Beyonce

Agreed I am just thinking that most people who liked Beyonce would like to see JT, whether it be passionately want to see him like alot of people did for Beyonce or just a slight interest I can see alot of people still wanting to see him

So this rebrand mentioned in the Facebook page....finally the expected (and necessary for them?) effort to squeeze out us oldies bringing the mood down by losing the guitar music? And by oldies I mean anyone over 22-23.

I'd agree with that, if i didn't think they've been trying to do it for the last 5 years already.

jamie cullum headlined a stage last year, haven't heard him played on capital much recently :)

Yeah look at the stage he headlined, you can't even class that as headline, then you look at the rest of the crap though out both days, think me capital comment stands true, especially this year

To be fair it's been possible to fill a day with guitars stuff mixed with some radio pop stuff (so long as you aren't a proper music fan, i.e not expecting the really snobby stuff like the national). At least I've been able to but I'm not at all discerning about my music anymore!

I'm more bothered by the term "proper music fan" myself.

Haha - I don't see myself as a 'proper' music fan - as in courteeners, stereophonics, Coldplay is the stuff I listen to, which then translates to watching the sort of guitary stuff that V has on. 'Proper' music fans care about the lyrics, the musicianship, how much the people care about it being an 'art' etc, deeper than just hearing a song and liking it (like I do, not saying it's a bad thing)

And maybe 'snobby' for the national isn't right, maybe more of the description above,maybe 'credible music' describes it better.

Or anywhere else, thankfully.

agreed.

Opinions!!!

Laura Mvula? Lianne La Havas? Basement Jaxx? Everything Everything? Eels? If their tracks got played on Capital in 2014 they'd be interrupted halfway through by the producers thanks to the sheer weight of "omfg who iz diss I ent herd diss song covered on X Facta" comments. Okay so there's a lot of crap at V but it's not all that bad. And at least they never booked PSY! :P

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
