Pretty sure I'm gonna be doing V again this year.. Seen jay z twice so I think I'd rather it was justin/lady gaga with chase and status sub headlining. All sounding great so far- I hope you lot know what you're talking about ;)

Nice to have you along, welcome!!

And no of course we don't know what we're talking about, but it's all part of the fun ;)

I'd be happy if Union J, Billy Ocean and Katy B did V, but not fussed about any of the others on that list.

Surely it's time for Labrinth to have a year off from V :P he has been on like 4 V's in a row (2010 with Tinie, 2011, 2012, 2013)

He's like the V equivalent of Biffy at Reading and Calvin at T :P

YMAS told a guy in a pub they're doing one night, the other night isn't confirmed although from the poster it looks like maybe The 1975 or Courteeners. No third sub because they have co-headliners on the Sunday.

Ymas could still play under the co headers, and the co might not even happen, QOTSA headlining outright is looking more likely going by fests atm

The 1975 and Courteeners are not subbing, third down or NME headline max for both

Other subs could be 30stm, Pendulum, even Skrillex (lol)

You forgot to tell Lily that some people on this forum think they know what they're talking about, but they really don't ;)

Yah but even they don't do it every year ;)

Well Olly Murs will probably be back for V, so Labrinth might as well :P

Yeah ;) We all just have a laugh and then go to a festival at the end, and usually listen to people say V should go back to its roots and the good ol' days because people are worried about moving with the charts and the time ;)

Also just thought, as Keese said Eminem was a headliner at T and he didnt get announced, do we think Eminem cancelled and Keese is right with that and the JT info, or are we going more towards thinking the info was wrong on Eminem and so could be wrong with JT too?

Nah cause eFestivals say JT's doing it, so it's more likely to be correct than Eminem.

JT's tour dates leave the most ridiculously sudden gap in the world on V weekend, and he's also randomly coming back to Europe for only two shows the midweek after. If he didn't play it'd be odd and then some

Plus I've been suggesting JT to headline V ever since he announced his solo US tour so if he didn't headline now i'd cry ;)

you only need to look at how the demand for his solo tour tickets is ridiculous despite them being probably double what they're worth to know how well he'd work as a ticket-shifter for V. You could get a day ticket for V, and see Justin plus 8-10 other acts, for cheaper than a JT tour ticket. albeit you won't be getting his awesome moving stage thingy at V :P

Fair enough, plus the fact the guys who own Wireless own V now so it must be easy for them to say come back and do another show to JT.

You never know about the moving stage, I heard if coldplay play then they are giving out LED Wristbands ;)

Oh lord please not the Coldplay wristbands and the Beyonce B stage discussion again..

;) Sorry ill be quiet. Apparently Beyonce did have an extra stage addition but I think it was just her band stand and the bit for her to go on and off stage through

Just checked, 2014 will be his sixth in a row. Played every year since 09, and also 07, so seventh in total, sixth on the bounce, lmao

that's completely ridiculous, i'm surprised he doesn't refuse on the grounds of having such a boring and repetitive schedule. i can only assume T pay well although I don't know that.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
