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

With Red Hot Chilli Peppers being announced for IOW I wonder if V will have them too?

[Toon Army]

IOW exclusive apparently

I wonder if anyone remotely good will be on this year.

Looking at the rumours I doubt it. It's not a festival for people with all music tastes anymore, it's capital radio on speed!

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.

[Matt42]

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!

Hmm.

[DomDom1984]

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.

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!
