Hang on we are missing anyone from X Factor/ Pop Idol/ The Voice

OK I wait to be corrected but for the first pass I cannot see anyone who has had anything to do with a reality vocal show

Was hoping for Passenger - as really thought he would fit into the V demographic so hoping for a further announcement for him

As if no one has noticed that!

I suspect we will get some in the next few announcements (Leah McFall, Union J, Luke Friend for a start)

I think Passenger could be the announcement this week definitely.

If it was Tom Odell last year (mid second stage) and LMFAO the year before (Sub/headline second stage) I guess it will be a second stage act again this year if they do it

47 announced so far

assuming V keep the same numbers as last year:

9 on main each day

10 on MTV each day

11 in the Arena each day

let's assume we know everyone on Main now - that's 18 of the 47; 8 of one day on MTV and 9 on the other is 17 of the 47, 6 of each day in the Arena is 12 of the 47

so we're left with three to be announced on MTV, about 10 in the Arena, the entire comedy stage and the entire unknown bands tent. probably around 60 left to be announced.

Theres 48 on my count

Ricky Wilson is on The Voice. Becky Hill off The Voice series one tours with Rudimental I think. Can't see anyone from X Factor. Maybe that's what Neil meant with the "more credible" thing, because I can't see much else that's changed.

I reckon Clean Bandit may be in the next announcement

Would love to see Clean Bandit. Also I'm disappointed with the lack of Disclosure at pretty much every festival I've been thinking of going to. Does anyone think there's a place for them here?

Overall I'm fairly happy with the line up it just didn't blow me away really like I hoped. Not too into the Killers but i guess that doesn't mean much. Happy about C&S, Bastille and Sub Focus so far.

It's a nice typical v fest lineup.

As we live 5 minutes from V a fair few of my friends/family will go as it ticks the mainstream boxes.

Mates will go for the

Likes of manics/embrace/starsailor/kaiser chiefs/magic numbers, I will pick up a day ticket if embrace and manics play same day.

Justin Timberlake is not a headliner. He will not headline V. He isn't popular or big enough, and definitely doesn't have enough big songs. He's a sub, tops.

Look forward to you all disagreeing with me. Quote me next March.

As requested

Im thinking top 4 on each day to be released today or friday. I dont know if the pre-release includes day tickets or not, if it does include day tickets I can see them being released today

The bands I want to see will be on the lower stages, so will wait on the full day splits before deciding on a day ticket.

won't day tickets sell out considering JT is so expensive to watch yet you could buy a day ticket and see loads of other bands and JT for less than his normal shows?

Same for Beyonce last year but I think there were a few places that had tickets left last year. Id like V to sell out, even if it is just day tickets at first

I imagine so yeah, could be a friendly tout or a poison friend job.

I'm thinking the bands I want to see will be at kendal calling, more interested in that festival than V.

V is my back up plan to see the manics and embrace though.

Why's everyone against the killers playing. Am I right in thinking they played last year or year before?

Suppose if you go every year that would be a bad thing for me personally however they are one of the few good acts playing. For years V always had the best line up IMO. Cannot believe how bad it's got. V and Leeds used to get a pretty even split of indie rock bands with V getting the better if anything, nowadays acts like Jessie j being headliner or sub is a joke. It's gone too pop. I don't mind the odd superstar beyonce/JT but as someone said it looks like all the £ has gone on them. Looking back at some line ups at previous V's I've been too (been to 5) 2003 had Coldplay, chilli peppers foo fighters and QOTSA. I know it's a case of each to their own, but for me .. It's gone downhill fast

I get what you are saying, but Jessie J has never headlined or subbed, she was 3rd last year and thats the highest I can see her playing. V just gives something different to other festivals, you want more indie stuff Leeds is the place to be. Im pretty happy with the line up even though I probably wont see either of the main headliners. Each to their own yeah, but V caters for different needs compared to 10 years ago (Foos Coldplay and RHCP would be good all on one line up now though no doubt about it)

    • 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. 🙂
