She clearly would...because Bowie wouldnt go anywhere near V, he has sense to stay away. Plus you cant compare Bowie to Alesso

T looks great! But yeah it is the distance putting me off.

I think I'm going to T, and I can get a coach from Sheffield, straight to Kinross for £30 return which is decent, it'll take a few hours but I'd rather that than forking out for a train :P

You should check out http://uk.megabus.com/ if you're keen. Failing that I'm pretty sure Disclosure will do a UK tour and Vs lineup is fairly good

might have helped if they were against some decent competition rather than Lianne La Havas and The Vaccines as well, crowds were dead for both

fuck it they'll probly end up on main

They were dead because people wanted to see Rudimental, so yeah probably on main with even less decent competition

Rudimental are shocking, really cannot comprehend how they've suddenly become so massive, 3rd down at IOW? Fuck that

Shocking that you think they aren't very good or shocking that they have been offered & accepted high slots this year at festivals*?

*which any band in their right mind wouldn't turn down if they were current or not as it raises profile, more money etc

Usually I find if someone is billed as special guests, they'll be late afternoon on main stage.

Big & legendary enough band to be near the top but bookers have an excuse to play them lower down the bill this way without dent their ego too much.

Look. I love the Manics. They're my favourite band of all time. But if anyone is seriously suggesting that they're anything other than middle of the day fodder if on main stage, they need their head checked quick stat.

Hopefully OCS headlining the arena last year will set a precedent. Them finishing it on the Timberlake night with an hour and a quarter set would be amazing

Arent Chase and Status (doing a DJ set) already confirmed for headlining Arena on one night, and I doubt V would clash C&S with Ingrosso and Axwell who have already confirmed themselves for Killers night

Headliners could be

JT Killers

Elbow Ingrosso and Axwell

C&S Manics

Dj set after c and s is in bigger font ?

Surely that's not it

The L in Nile has moved ever so slightly, I flicked from the two pictures and everything else stayed the same apart from the DJ set and the 'L'. Thats all I can see at least

Shocking music wise, I don't blame them for accepting what they're being given, I just don't understand why they're so popular, then again plenty of people say the same about The 1975 who I love so I can't really talk :P

V Festival just posted a video with Rudimental who said they will be on the main stage this year (in the sun set slot) I am assuming that is 3rd/4th down??

Id guess something like Daniels clash finder for the top 3/4 each day.

JT

Ed Sheeran

Paolo Nutini

Rudinmental

Elbow

Killers

Example

Lily Allen

Bastille

Axwell ^ Ingrosso.

I cant see Kaisers playing 5th down, i'd have them 2nd/3rd on MTV.

Swap them with Manics?

    • 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.
