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.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
