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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Was bloody impossible to get through on ticketmaster on the initial T-day though

4th March - Virgin Early Bird Pre sale

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
