2014

[Andy0808 v3.0]

I'd say Everything Everything and Eels are the only two that wouldn't be played on Capital.

My main issue with V is that the second stage (Channel 4) is a festering pit of interbred chavs who try and mosh at anything (Jamie T- Stella was particularly standout), and that is slowly becoming the same for the main stage. I think my first ever V the main stage headliners were Radiohead and Morrisey and the Channel 4 stage headliners were Razorlight and The Charlatans; Completely unheard of these days.

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!

Jesus Christ can you imagine if they did! The reason I loved this festival was because it had a good mix, me and the mrs were both satisfied out of the weekend that we'd seen enough of what we like, am not talking about all guitar music, I've quite happily stood there listening to calvin harris (when he was actually live) Lilly Allen (who I thought was brilliant) and example back in the day before he went crap. Now it seems there's no mix and it is more capital/kiss radio based artists

Agree completely.

What's more annoying is I say it's my last time every year and always get roped in come August because I live so close to the site.

Thats what's kept us going in recent years, she likes the locality behind it, but last year even she said there wasn't enough variety and that it's probably our last year, and that's coming from somebody who's music taste ranges from bloody westlife through to elbow!

'Bring the vibe'

Jesus, announcement tuesday by the looks of it. T4 on the beach lineup expected.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Justin Timberlake would be a pretty expensive booking for T4OTB! Would also take him over Blink bloody 182 any day..

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Hopefully that isn't a Kendrick Lamar reference. Surely more suited to the people who prefer deep and meaningful yet uninterpretable lyrics like the R&L-goers...hopefully...

[Toon Army]

Not the line up announcement

[sisco]

Tuesday at 5pm

Kendrick is exclusive at Parklife i believe.

And i'm not even going to reply to your blink 182 and Reading comments because they're just ridiculous.

[Prat.]

Not a line up announcement, we're all saved.

[Matt42]

Re-branding, and by the looks of it... It looks like they may be changing their name to "VIBE Festival"

DAMN you almost bit.

Was being honest about B182 though. No thank you, never in a catrillon years. Say what you like about V but at least their headline bookings in the last few years have all made notable contributions to music since 2003.

That's one of the scariest opinions I have ever read.

haven't been in the download forum much lately then i take it?

[Matt42]

I've been wondering, we've been struggling to think of a band that could play this year.

With the rebrand, what if they have fully converted it into a pop fest? And bands like Kasabian etc aren't playing instead it is two pop acts!

I honestly think they're going to pull someone like Coldplay, Foo Fighters or Muse out of nowhere. Or they will just have two pop headliners.

Calvin Harris and Justin Timberlake are now my guess

Calvin

Katy Perry

Justin Timberlake

Chase & Status

I feel V is telling us, "fuck what we were in the past, this is what we are now"...

Or maybe they're going triphop.

She's on her own tour during V.

I seriously hope it doesn't all change to pop. Anyone thinking it could be 3 days instead of 2?

I think (this is me thinking) V has finally got the balls to do what it has wanted to do for 3 years.

That's speculation based on next-to-nothing though. My student radio station is called Vibe Radio, who's to say they're not just announcing that they're going to be asking us to pick the line-up.

Aye The Stone Roses have made a massive contribution to music since 2003.

Because V becoming fully pop is an entirely plausible and likely situation, whereas that isn't.

Yep, they organised the first interesting musical thing to happen in Manchester since 1976.
