Weston's always been seen as the less important sibling. Probably because all the London z-listers go to Essex. I had very optimistically hoped it'd be a fairer balance with MTV taking over things but obviously not :(

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.

Only just remembered this

Yes you are right I am not a massive radio 1 fan but what a line up with the likes of foos, Florence, vaccines, Jamie T, catfish and the bottleneck, swiftly, ben Howard, snoopy dog and jungle. The radio 1team who produces and confirms the line up should get a massive pay raise and the V festival team should get the sack especially 20 anniversary and all that.

Not surprised V have been a bit quiet on twitter today, the free Big Weekend shits all over this £200 mess :lolz:

It's not actually that much stronger than V overall except the top of the bill - but the top four on the main stage being so much stronger at the Big Weekend will make all the difference to perception and that, so I can understand people being pissed.

The R1BW always has a strong top of the line up, its not that the line up shits all over V's, with a line up like they have they would probably sell out to their target audience if they sold tickets and made it more of a proper festival. With the likes of Jay-Z, Coldplay, Muse, Foos, Swift, Perry, Kasabian, Calvin Harris, Biffy Clyro and Swedish House Mafia all within the last 3 years, any major festival would like to have them. They are all big acts and do make the line up look strong, but its always like that. If R1BW was nearer either site of V then the ticket sales might drop more as locals wouldnt go to V.

Being at R1BW will mean all the acts get more air time on radio, and will probably get more promotion in other areas too, so thats why they will choose to do the big weekend over a bigger single payday at somewhere like V.

It just do frustration that R1BW get amazing headliners and subs and V gets the scraps when you pay nearly £200 a ticket for what. And when big acts would really pay for free R1BW and get the airtime and publicly than get a big pay out at V especially when they is live streaming and youtube to listen to music. Have read into this I am sorry to say I really do thing V is finnished as a main stream poppy festival

    • Tell me more. Last Latitude we went to was '21 - my son was young & had a wagon so we snuck good beers in that way. I remember there being some Brooklyn IPA on sale which was tolerable - are you saying they don't sell anything other than Carlsberg now?! 😳 
    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
