exactly, the info that said they were on The Arena was the same info that had them on the wrong day, it's unreliable. couple that with the fact S&I clashing with C&S would be ridiculous from every angle and i won't believe it until it's officially announced :banghead:

If C&S dont headline the Arena, where would you see them playing and Tinie playing. If we assume the top 3 is how it is on the poster and S&I are headlining MTV stage, I think C&S, Tinie and Chic are the 3 main acts that are hard to place

Just looked on Martin Garrix's page, he has a V Fest sized hole in his schedule. He could be this years Jaguar Skills subbing in the Arena even though a bigger act plays before him (Ellie Goulding last year).

I also now think Tinie Tempah could headline Arena due to his placing on the poster being swapped with Chase and Status, with C&S subbing Axwell & Ingrosso. Thoughts?

Hi,

This will be my first time at V and I have a few questions?

Usaully go to glasto but they sold out and I thought I would give V festival a go!

Is there anymore to be added onto the current line up?

When's the earliest you can arrive and set up camp and when's the latest you can leave?

If i took my van can I sleep in it in the car park or is it tents only unless I buy a camper van ticket and take a camper van?

Sorry about all the questions, I would look up the answers on there website but not info yet.

Cheers

John Martin seems to have dropped off the poster, maybe V are going in the opposite direction and taking acts out instead of adding more in

With the new announcement they seem to miss out a few acts anyway, like howling bells and Vance joy. Makes me think what they're playing at with the poster or if they just forgot what acts they've booked!

Thanks Bopinup!

Is it true that you can only get on site at midday and you have to be off by 11pm? Glasto goes on till the early hours! Must be something to do with there entertainments license? Do people party on around the camping areas or is it complete shut down when the site is closed?

Yeah some acts are missing, but John Newman was there before but disappeared after V updated their FB page. Either he has dropped out like Little Mix did or they have got even sloppier with their poster making.

Yeah the site only opens at 12 I think, and all stages finish at 11 but I think some people carry on the party in the camp site. There were people dancing and drinking at 5AM last year near my tent, which was funny for a little while but after about 20 mins of not getting back to sleep it wasn't :P

they're not strict on the kick-out time, they just have to advertise that everyone will be off site by then for licensing/policing reasons as far as i know

how the hell can they ensure everyone's off site by 12pm when the coaches are so disorganised that people are still waiting for their one which was due at 11am at 2pm anyway

That's a bit rubbish, good job I can walk home when I'm kicked out.

I'm on about while the festival is on mateos must be carnage with everyone off there trolleys and trying to clear everyone back to there campsites by 11pm! I know when I'm on one I don't want the evening to finish especially at 11pm!! Seems a bit early to shut things down?

I've never been so I might have all this wrong and it might be the main stages that shut down at 11 while others are still on till late?

11 is just when the music is advertised to finish, the site doesnt have to be deserted by 11pm. After calvin Harris last year it took me what felt like half an hour to get out and back to the campsite.

I cant remember but did the Lucozade and Carling tent at Hylands stay open till after 11? I remember walking past and people were still in there on the saturday, and are any films shows in the arena after 11 like on the friday night

Half 10?!!!! Getting bloody earlier lol!! Do they allow music around the campsite? Might have to dust off the cob webs off my old sl2s and smuggle in a Generator and some old school vinyl!

Half 10?? Beyonce was still going after 11 due to her starting late. Wasnt much after 11 but she still was doing Halo, so I dont see where you get half 10 from :S

What is the film show buddy?

Sorry about all the questions, I'm a V virgin and have only ever been to glasto and the isle of white.

I think the Stone Roses film was shown and Wreck it Ralph, maybe another one as well. But im pretty sure they were only on the friday night, didnt know if any others were on other nights because I never really paid much attention

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
