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"...

Still believe Luckysalt and think it'll be Jay-Z, along with JT.

[Andy0808 v3.0]

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

Up there with my top 3 favorite ever Efestival forum posts.

[Gucci Piggy]

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

What was that?

Luckysalt said that? Oh well then that's what it is then...

good lineup... (don't shoot me)

I've never been to V but I might get a day ticket on Jay-z day

[Rose-Colored Boy]

What was that?

their reunion gigs..

their reunion gigs..

There have been much more interesting gigs in Manchester since the 70's than a load of middle-aged men and horrific mod fer it teenagers shouting along to an out of tune Ian Brown.

Yeah, some geezer said it's Jay-Z and AM, so Luckysalt checked it out, and found out that Jay-Z is at V, but that AM were at R&L along with Blink.

[Matt42]

The only reason JT & Jay-z sounded wrong was because they usually have a band on one day.

if this is them being full fledged pop, that could way way be the actual headliners

For someone who isn't really up to date with the topic 'interesting musical things to happen in Manchester'; What happened in 1976?

[NickisGinger]

I hope it's not them two, they were good at wireless, but I want to go back to V!

please don't pretend you didn't see this happening... This was eventually going to happen.

Name 27.

Jay-Z is pop now?

they heard the good news that Benedict Cumberbatch had been born, leading to wild parties up and down the land.

I did, but I tried not to think about it :-P. I want Coldplay.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I want Coldplay.

Do not be afraid, I will try to fix you.

I dispute your point that it's the first interesting musical thing to happen there since 1976, and to prove it I have to name 27? What?

Yes.

[Kris_lcfc]

Yes.

Bit childish don't you think

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Bit childish don't you think

The clue was in the post where I expressed my disappointment that Andy hadn't quite bitten.

I've been saying for a while it'll happen. A shame for me personally - I go to Glastonbury but don't see it as a 'music' festival, as in I don't spend all day watching bands (with distances it's not always possible to see all you want) and i do other stuff, but I then go to V for good crowds for the acts I like (Glastonbury crowds are rubbish most of the time) and usually a good big 'band' headliner. If the all pop thing happens I'm not going to go, the only problem being I don't see an alternative. T? Bloody miles away. Leeds? Hate it but if I want big names and a reasonably consistent day of music (albeit in an atrocious setting) it'll have to be there. Edited February 3, 2014 by efcfanwirral

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...

It's hard to understand how one person can spout so much shite in such few characters

[Tobieski]

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.

I take it you're only talking about blink here? Otherwise you're quite the troglodyte.

[5co77ie]

An announcement is expected at 5pm tomorrow, Tuesday 4th February.

V denied it was an announcement to someone who queried on facebook. Guess they could have been lying.

[Toon Army]

It's definitely an announcement, but not about the line up
