That's a great guess. C&S are very likely to be and in that slot although I'd possibly book them in the slightly darker slot as 4Music headliner. Deadmau5 as the other is a great shout too. I can very much see Katy Perry being there. But if Bastille can play there at V I can see R&L giving them 3rd.

Generally though it looks woeful overall

I really doubt R&L will offer Bastille 3rd next year. 4th possibly though.

[DarthSaul]

I'd swap sub focus and disclosure

[Pothuthic]

Meanwhile I'm shit at sport

[thetime]

Are kaiser chiefs still big enough to headline second stage?

Borderline? I think they're bigger than Courteeners, but not Calvin Harris... but then again, Beady Eye are nowhere near the size of Calvin either, surely? They only got that slot on merit of having Liam in the band.

I doubt it but I've heard of worse. I didn't see BBC or The Vaccine getting 3rd spot when they did and Bastille have already got a date at Ally Pally - something The Vaccines hadn't by R&L 12 so who knows. I'd say out of a few that could player higher than expected or thought should be, these are defo one of them.

Not really to be fair

[thetime]

Bastille are a good bet for third, like wayiam mentioned the bbc and vaccines did.

If anything bastilles will be bigger than the 2 mentioned and its a big possibility they will be bigger come march time.

[Com Truise]

I guess they don't seem as big to me because none of my friends like them, whereas they all liked Vaccines and Bombay. I was thinking about this year though, Foals, FOB and Deftones are all a lot more seasoned than Bastille, they may not be as popular in the case of Deftones, and possibly Foals, but they haven't really earned the slot like they have. Of course this could mean fuck all in relation to next year

I think Bastille might go to V next year though, if they're big enough to do third at R&L, could they headline second stage at V? Then come back and do 3rd at R&L in 2015

As much as I like Bastille I dont think they are a 2nd stage headliner yet, and I cant see them being 3rd at V. Sub second stage maybe but I think they can only get bigger from now

It's V Festival, it always looks woeful overall.

to be fair I think they are bigger than Beady Eye

although I can't really comprehend how BE are big at all

[daniel.k]

I think Beady Eye are a funny act to determine how big they are. They are most of a hugely requested band to reform, yet the album didnt sell well and when they pulled out of V not too maybe people were too bothered. I would say Bastille have the more current trend on their side opposed to BE having the older fans but I couldnt imagine them headlining 4music at V, maybe headline the Area for now.

This, and with a new album out, it's pretty clear with new material that the youngsters will go crazy for. R&L know that getting them back instead of at V would be great for them and I can see them being a FATM where it was expected by most that V was a cert then it ended up being R&L.

I think they are as big now as The Vaccines were when they did 3rd and BBC who I think announced Ally Pally after their 3rd spot, Bastille already have that show announced, dunno if it's sold out yet mind.

They are bigger than Detones in my opinion, chart success, much more mainstream, many more I feel could name a Bastille song over Deftones. I wouldn't put them past being similarly sized to foals.

true is this

to be fair I think they are bigger than Beady Eye

although I can't really comprehend how BE are big at all

They massively bigger than Beady Eye without question. The only thing going for BE is that the actual band people want to see still have their members around.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Ricky Wilson is the 4th coach on The Voice, do you reckon this might make Kaisers more likely with the fact he's going to be on mainstream television?

[Com Truise]

I think it'll bring a lot of "who the f is he?"'s

Kaiser are semi-regulars anyway, I doubt they will get any bigger because of this.

Neither more likely or less likely, it's not like kaisers are shellac.

People said that about The Script...

[daniel.k]

Alot of people knew all the other judges then it was just Danny from The Script I dont think Kasabian will be at V, but if they did would they consider playing anything other than headliner?

Okay

[Boris The Spider]

I remember reading something once where Ricky loves Kylie, perhaps that swung it for him lol
