Eminem's reported fee for 2011 was £1m and then he wanted £1m extra for it to be televised? same with beyonce last year

unless i'm going mad

I heard that too, apart from I heard beyonce just didnt want to be televised

[Twattybatty]

beyonce was fully televised at rock in rio so she just wanted the money not the lack of coverage

unless I'm going mad, everyone here is talking about JT and Jay-Z

[Gucci Piggy]

Reported fees for headliners are usually bullshit. I highly doubt they wanted their fees doubling to be shown on TV. It was reported that Eminem got £6m to play R&L last year ffs.

yep you're going mad, we're discussing eminem

With money like that I wonder of he got a share of merchandise being sold that weekend aswell. I think 6m is too high, I would have thought he would get less

either way it'd be mental if V suddenly had two massive headliners in one year, let's move on

He just didn't get anywhere near that fee. It was made up.

It wouldn't really be that much bigger than usual. JT was even being debated as a sub at one point.

I'm fairly sure it'll be JT and Jay-Z.

Would be good though, maybe a way of having a Russell Re-Brand and trying to save their reputation as a big festival.

Id like to see V either go to a 3 day event or at least try do what I has done and try for a later license till early morning

gaga is rumoured equally strongly as hova on efests unless i've missed something

[daniel.k]

And Coldplay have been mentioned by a few of us on here. I think if V pulled a big unexpected name out they could have better ticket sales than last year and sell out faster. Jay-Z wouldnt surprise most of us in here, but i would be surprised by coldplay or muse as neither are expected to make a UK appearance. Gaga would be good to see half the set of, but I dont think I would stay for the whole thing

Luckysalt said it's Jay-Z, and he's got all of the R&L headliners right so far. With Blink being such an unexpected booking, it's highly unlikely it was a lucky guess or anything.

If it isn't Jay-Z I guess it'll be Kasabian.

Fair play, what does he say the last R&L headliner is?

I suggested kasabian at one point but apparently with them doing glasto they wont do another UK fest this year, someone kept saying

[Com Truise]

two £1m headliners in one year? no chance

Wireless had him and Jay Z, so they are 2 1m headliners. Same owners could mean same bookers, so they will pay out more maybe

I'm pretty sure they're suggesting JT and Jay-z are both "1m headliners" actually

Seeing as they're not doing T, R&L or IOW, I can see Kasabian at V, unless they've hit a new level of snobbery where they believe they're only good enough to headline Glasto

Nah to be fair, with Glastonbury and their own outdoor gigs, it'd probably best for them not to do V. And the less people subjected to their shite the better.

[Matt42]

Any festival that forks out more than 1million on a headliner is shit at negotiating.

[daniel.k]

Ignore

Well we do try to do our best to ignore you but you keep popping up

Yes I know, but as they said 1 pricetag I said 2million for them both, meaning they both got 1million making them 1m headliners

I can see the level of snobbery already at that height even if they dont do V, unless they charge 1m then we cant have them because we cant have 2 1m headliners

Oh yeah ive heard that doing the rounds

[Pothuthic]

I'm still clueless
