[Pothuthic]

I'm coming out, I want the world to know, gotta let it show <3

[daniel.k]

Nile rodgers to play 3rd or sub would be clever of V. Alot of people waiting around for JT plus they will be more likely to be up for a singalong. Then he would have a big crowd. Only thing then is he wont get a dark slot so his set might not look as good

[lily92]

Could be a load of crap but someone commented on that NR picture saying his uncle works for the festival and justin and Kanye are headlining... Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[tom taylor]

Someone on facebook wrote that Rudimental announced at their gig last night that they would "See everyone at V Festival"...had one of the biggest crowds I'd ever seen on 4music last year...how high do you think they could get pushed up?

Doubt he will be there, he is exclusive at Wireless

somewhere on main maybe

[Toon Army]

I think they'll make the same mistake as they did with plan b and possibly make them sub on main stage

[daniel.k]

At IOW they are effectively subbing behind co-headliners, so take that as 2nd or 3rd but rither way thats quite high up. Same again at T they are probably going to be high up. I think 4th on main or sub 2nd stage

[Pothuthic]

How exclusive is a wireless exclusive though?

[DomDom1984]

Not very apparently.

[Toon Army]

Where else is he on like ?

[DomDom1984]

Dunno, but Pharrell playing T means that their exclusives need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

[Twattybatty]

Did Wireless ever specify what kind of exclusive though? Could have been an Englisj exclusive, ala Courteeners at Reading, in which case it wouldn't be a violation

[Gavin Davis]

I had to register just to throw this own rumour of out my mouth, KESHA! possibly with Pitbull on some other stage during the weekend?

Seems a high chance I'd say.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

ALLRIGHT GAVALARRRRRRRRRRR (sorry do you get that a lot)

Kesha has nothing booked for this summer. Depends if she gets out of rehab by then I guess?

Taylor Swift is available though..

[Gavin Davis]

I can't Imagine her to be in rehab for months and months, surely she's probably even out now?

and yes I do get this a lot, that stupid TV show tarnished my good name.

I'd be bloody happy with that to be honest! You'd probably want to swap Bastille with the Kaisers (though personally I wouldn't) and James Blunt is a bit similar to clash with Ed Sheeran too. But in terms of the names yes please V bookers!!!

i have no idea but i can't believe i'd have missed it if it was announced she was out

might want a break from playing live after such a tough time anyway, we'll see

and sorry then haha, do you not like G&S? I love it, one of my favourites

[daniel.k]

Dunno, but Pharrell playing T means that their exclusives need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I think they were english exclusives, which still rules Kanye out for V, thats how T got Pharrell. However, with V and wirless having same owners there might be a little bit of leeway in the exclusive parts.

I dont really like her either

I think if Paulo Nutini is co headlining T he would be higher, Bastille and Kaisers would be good, and I agree with the James Blunt - Ed clash, but V did clash TDCC with Of Monsters and Men and Emeli Sande with Ellie Goulding, and Ellie with Rita Ora a bit so they arent the best at avoiding clashes

Bruno and Kanye at Wireless are their only UK performances of 2014

That's not to shabby, perhaps swap Bastille and Lumineers for Editors and Embrace.

Also imagine Shed Seven are a good shout with playing a festival early August, they are always popular with the older crowd.

I like the idea of Embrace, Manics, Editors. Lily Allen, Bastille and Shed Seven all on one day.

The Prodigy and Vampire Weekend are too big for the second stage surely? Same with Ellie Goulding being third down it. Rudimental and Paolo seem too low as well

I think The Prodigy would want to headline a stage, and as V may not want them as main headline they might take 2nd stage if they got the same amount of money as they would for main headline. Dont know about Vampire weekend so I wont comment.

Ellie Goulding was 3rd in the Arena last year so I dont think she is too low down tbh. Same for Rudimental, roughly same time slot but a bigger stage might be right, but IOW have them 3rd behind co headliners so maybe they should be 3rd here. Paolo shouldnt be co headlining T in my opinion, but he should at least be 3rd I think. Maybe have Lily Allen and Ed Sheeran as subs and Rudimental and Paolo as 3rd, mix and match depending on headliners and if they want more of a flow from one to the other or a mix up.

I think Bastille should be higher than there though, maybe 4th main
