I think it will be Avicii doing the MTV headline slot, but as he isnt at T (yet) and Alesso and Steve are maybe it will be a repeat booking of Steve and Alesso do the other day headline Arena, with Nile Rodgers doing MTV stage.

If Chic headline a stage it'll be the Arena.

Arena won't be too small.

Majority of the punters will be too shallow to go anywhere other the main stage pop headliner or MTV dance/'indie' headliner. The crowd at the arena will be barren if Chic play, and the only people there are the only people I want to associate with at V.

In the words of Ja'mie King; 'Sorry, but it's true'

I wouldnt say too shallow, they just know what they like and know what they have payed for. But I do agree the majority of people would be at the two top stages

God, Prodigy just sound so dated to me.

Saw Muse (who i hate) over them in 2008, and saw someone else over them whatever other year they headlined the second stage.

Is dated such a bad thing? They can still pull a crowd in and apparently still entertaining

Depends what you like. But I cringe every time I hear Breathe or Smack my bitch up. Some of Invaders must die (I think that's the album title) sounds alright

Ive never seen them live, but my girlfriend has and she thought they were pretty good. If they were on 2nd stage against JT then I think we would be seeing them

Hi guys, there is a gig review thread on the Reading and Leeds forum for acts that have been announced (to give people an impression of what they are like)

Would anyone who went to V last year be willing to come give a short (really just a few lines) on how Courteeners were last year (or if you have seen them at their own gig) :D

Steve won't be back surely..headlined last year, I'd be so angry if a headliner played two years running

I doubt steve would be back, but if he is I wouldnt be angry

Courteeners were effing amazing. Most of the crowd were seeing The Script, so they had a small crowd! But they nailed it. Great last two songs of not 19 forever and What took you so long.

All the other key songs in about a 10-12 song set with some of the new singles. Easily top 3 acts of the weekend with Travis and Stereophonics.

    • Hush cancelled with a similar event now taking place at EartH and Cate Le Bon doing her own show, maybe others have rearranged gigs?
    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.
