The 1975 being third

Are they? That's interesting. They've been talking about this 'prestigious' slot they've got at R&L this year but we don't know what it is yet, I'm reckoning either NME headline or third main, either of which would cause mayhem

I dont think they are deserving of a slot that high. Bastille maybe, but not the 1975

think T in the park are trying to rival V for being shit with announcements...their heavily trailed big announcement today was...wait for it...Paolo Nutini playing. lol..

[DomDom1984]

They never said it was a big announcement. Infact, they said it was a teaser.

Infact I think it's the best way to announce.

hey we have an announcement of our lineup tomorrow, lets give you one act as we announce it's tomorrow

[sisco]

Have to say i thought the best way to announce was 2011 IOW fest. A headliner and a few acts each day.

[Prat.]

wouldn't mind except got all excited for seein whos playing cos its normally half the Reading linep and half the V lineup. And now I have to wait another whole 24 hours

Less than a week til V's announcement now

Nme headliner against blink would not surprise me at all. Even if I think they are terrible I can see the mass appeal they have at the moment.

Disclosure are against Blink if we believe the dates on bands' websites.

[adam1234]

Ah man I forgot! Ok against QOTSA/PARAMORE then? Sorry to talk about R&L in the v thread. Got to be better than five and mcbusted though

I thought that, but from the way the names were listed on the announcement poster, I think they may have been sorted by stages, which would make them main stage. They also weren't announced specifically as an NME headliner like Disclosure were, so I don't think they will be one.

And yes, that's true

All good points

To be honest, before that announcement I thought they'd headline NME, so I agree with what you were saying.

With Disclosure being NME headliners at R&L, do you think Rudimental would be able to headline MTV stage at V?

Is that the second stage? If so, I doubt it. It's bigger than the NME at R&L. Maybe sub it or something.

[Prat.]

ive got Rudimental down for R&L anyway to be honest like

MTV stage (guessing thats what it will be called) is the 4music stage from last year, as MTV have taken over sponsorship so yeah its the second stage. Subbing second stage would be good for them too, they had a huge crowd last year and now they have won awards they do deserve a bigger slot

Ahh okay

theyre a bit pop to go opposite justin timberlake or coldplay (example in the absence of any other rumours)

more likely something like bring me the horizon against jt surely

wot

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I got so scared by the prospect of JT only doing half his setlist at V that I just bought a ticket for his tour. I'm excited but the mid-range tickets cost £95, so it looks like we could have another 'Beyoncé using up so much budget that the undercard includes Jams Arthur'-type catastrophe on our hands.

[Prat.]

wot

yes please, love a nice screaming hairy man

They're about similar, although I'd give The 1975 a leg up before Bastille because I think they've got more mass appeal, and they sold out 3 nights at Brixton, 3 nights at Manchester, (as well as the rest of their tour), and I think Bastille only did 1 extra London date on top of theirs

Plus the 1975 have put in the graft to get where they are

wot

Bring Me at V, imagine the #scenes

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I'm creasing just imagining Oli Sykes' face if their agent suggested them playing a pop festival tbh

[Rose-Colored Boy]

no chance the 1975 would ever play above Bastille at V though (even if Matty hadn't w*nked off to R&L again). I can see Bastille doing a Kings of Leon and getting unfairly high slots at festivals for ridiculously long in the future just off the back of one song.

personally don't want to see The 1975 given a high slot at V anyway, having seen how having a dead crowd waiting around for the big pop acts later killed off The Vaccines and TDCC in terms of a live show in mid-afternoon slots at last year's V, Matty deserves better
