2014

Morning all. Anyone else excited?

A lot of hope, rather than expectation.

Let's see what the next 12 hours brings.

Im more excited than I was last year, but I think i was more excited when I bought my ticket last year. I may stay off here all day until 8 just incase something leaks but I doubt ill end up doing that haha

[Matt42]

Coldplay just announced their new album, and released the lead single.

I remember someone a while ago saying V put an offer out for Coldplay.

Haha! I want to know the final headliner. The rest can be a surprise.

When would you say the earliest Coldplay could do Glasto again. They havent done V since 2003. Their new single off the album isnt their best IMO but i could listen to it

[NickisGinger]

If it is Coldplay, I wonder if they could a Europe festival exclusive?

about another 3 fests min

V this year, T next then Glasto, next 3 years set out for them. Doubt they would do that though.

If it is Coldplay, I wonder if they could a Europe festival exclusive?

Could be, would maybe increase the pull power of them. I know they are doing somewhere in america for an iTunes thing, but hopefully that wouldnt stop them doing a festival over here

[Gucci Piggy]

your loss

I listened to them all when I was like 12, so I haven't missed out on anything. I've just realised they're terrible.

[Gucci Piggy]

So with Coldplay announcing their new album today....it has to be them!!!

I doubt Coldplay would choose the date to announce their album to coincide with being announced for one random festival, and I doubt V would choose their announcement date based on when one headliner is announcing an album.

Just coincidence that they released a single on T day and announce the album on V day. The odds of that must have been slim

Well it's got the Rolling Stones and t in the park written all over it.

[foolee]

I think now that it is a given they're releasing an album this year I think Coldplay will headline V. One of the UK Fests Coldplay do do and I can't see V having 2 pop headliners. Think it'll be Justin and Coldplay because I can't see any other bands doing it.

So two pop headliners then...

[foolee]

Yes two pop headliners but not in the way I meant, what I meant was they wouldn't have a band not headlining, Coldplay are a different sort of pop to JT and Beyoncé etc.

[DomDom1984]

Do it right and a pop festival can be the business. You'd need a lot of luck on names being available, but with headliners of a good size, you could probably get away with the undercard fading towards the bottom.

[daniel.k]

With V being more of a pop festival now, and wireless being the other main pop festival, V having JT and Coldplay could pull in people if they have good subs and MTV headliners. Most people just see the big names and want to go, not thinking about clashes. Prodigy wont be at V like my dream said, but that doesnt matter I think the line up will still be quite good.

Hopefully V can have a fairly good undercard, I dont want to be stuck watching Olly Murs again because there is no one that I want to see on. V's line up will fade towards the bottom but thats what the futures tent is for I guess

[sisco]

If V has Coldplay and Justin it wont matter who else is on the bill. It will sell out pretty quickly

[foolee]

When do tickets go on sale?

[daniel.k]

When do tickets go on sale?

Friday 9am

If V has Coldplay and Justin it wont matter who else is on the bill. It will sell out pretty quickly

People thought V would sell fast last year with Beyonce but it didnt

[tom taylor]

6th March - Essex residents

7th March - General Sale

Those days are gone for all festivals apart from Glastonbury.

Please god. Just pre-ordered the new album. Doesn't come out for two and a half months though so it'll be a nice shock when I suddenly get debited for it in mid-May hahaha

Glasto only sells out now because of the reputation its built up
