i'm thinking the "very special guests" billing is just compensation for the fact they've got a crap slot to be honest

edit: maybe it's V's take on the current co-headliner trend, two acts who aren't worthy of headlining but stick them on at the same time and wahey you've got yourself enough of a crowd pleaser on at once as you would with a full-strength headliner

Very special guest could still mean they get to headline a stage.

Pretty sure we already got info on here that Axwell was headlining mtv

yeah looks like chase and status have got it wrong to me to be honest

killers/paolo nutini/lily allen/rudimental

axwell/chase and status/sub focus

chic/someone unnanounced

fairly clear the other day is:

JT/Sheeran/Example/Kaisers/Tom Odell

Elbow/Manics/Blondie

Alesso/Above & Beyond

I think you have Killers day right, im not sure about JT day main stage i havent had chance to have a proper think about it all yet

You mean killers? They aren't unworthy of a headline slot just because people on here hate them

It was questionable if The Killers merited a headline booking in 2012 though, but at least then they were touring their least successful album. They've done absolutely nothing to continue being deemed headline status in the last two years, in fact they are supposed to be on hiatus. ...

edit: don't get me wrong I like them, but they're nowhere near as popular as they were in any of the years they previously headlined.

21 announced for The Killers day and 27 for JT.

Still some reasonable ish sized acts to come then

Yeah I noticed that too. Maybe an Arena headliner like last year, or a second stage sub or third. T in the Park have just announced Reverend and the Makers, DJ Fresh and The Charlatans so maybe we would see them again

At least it adds a little more to the idea Bastille will be on the Killers day

K

Ha ha. The Killers dont merit headline status. Christ some of the comments on this are brilliant

What? I think they merit headline status more than people such as Biffy

21 announced for The Killers day and 27 for JT.

Yes hopefully :)

The Killers not headline material. Are you serious?! :suicide:

They sold out Wembley Stadium 9 months ago for christ's sake!

I'd be insanely surprised if we don't get Razorlight

I wouldnt be surprised either, and maybe a few more from that line up. I am thinking about trying to go as I will be in the area around then. Razorlight, Dizzee, Scouting for girls and a few DJ sets sounds good for 15 pound a day

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
