Have Kasabian and Foo Fighters been ruled out? Can see it being a pop artist and a band again.

Can't see the headliners being JT and Jay-Z, if they are there have a feeling they'd play on the same day, headlining together. or co-headlining.

haven't been on here in a while, hello old chums!

got ed sheeran presale tickets this morning, the hype over his new album seems pretty tidy, i'd be surprised if he doesn't play

atm i can very much see one day of v being:

JT

Ed Sheeran

Lily Allen

also basically a given that Avicii is heading up 4Music one of the days I'd have though

also there's not a fucking chance McBusted will be in the Arena, they're headlining in Hyde Park this summer for fuck's sake, IF they're playing (although I think McFly just might want to get back to doing their own stuff by then what with having a new album out an all) they'll be high up on 4Music or early evening on Main

I got pre sale tickets for Ed this morning too, where did you get yours for?

I think Ed will be there as well, as he did V and toured in 2012 when I saw him. I dont think JT will headline though, or if he does I could see Ed playing on the opposite day as him.

McBusted could headline Arena maybe, or mid day 4music but thats it for them I think. No idea why they were wanted for Hyde Park

im sure Ed has said he is doing 1 festival in an interview. Would be suprised if it isnt headlining one of the smaller ones rather than V

also how the hell is he charging 40 plus per ticket!! Ridiculous. But i suppose as u 2 have shown, there are people willing to pay it.

Lilly Allen imo will sub or be 3rd at the very lowest. I believe she was 3rd at glasto last time she played, and with another big album i cant see her dropping.

if keese said JT is a headliner, well the liklehood is that JT is a headliner

we're standing on the 27th in Manchester Dan where are you? really hoping he actually ISN'T at V because i'm likely to be going with people who aren't going to the tour so i'd have to stand through the same setlist twice lol.

it's actually not quite £40, just £37 but yeah i see your point. a bit of a step up from his last tour yeah but that's about the lower end of prices for an arena tour isn't it? mcbusted was £46 i think, and katy perry was something ridiculous like £70 so in the end we didn't even bother with her

i called it months and months ago that it would be a toss-up between lily allen and katy perry for the jessie j slot this year, yet to see anything to make me think otherwise. not much of a singalong with lily allen though which i think is the main thing that'd be holding her back from subbing.

Yeah I hope he isnt, but if he is high up on another stage at V maybe I could convince my gf to see someone else instead. Yeah the tickets were expensive compared to £20ish last time (i think, not 100% sure) but he was good last time and sold out where I saw him in Doncaster. I am seeing him on the 19th in Birmingham at the LG arena, never been there but I have been to the NEC for Top Gear Live twice which was good.

I would rather have a singalong with Katy Perry than Lily Allen, but I would rather sing along with Steps over McBusted...Now that would be a line up ;) McBusted subbing Steps.

I hope Bastille and The 1975 are at V over a repeat at R&L, but we shall see february time. Who on here is wanting to go back regardless of the line up?

kodaline were shite at hard rock calling, just a warning :P

good-oh :( my best mate's first ever gig haha so at least i picked the right person not to complain

I've heard Kodaline aren't too good live, 1975 on the other hand...

the 1975 was one of the best gigs of my entire life. would have gone again this tour if i hadn't had the magical foresight to know that the setlist would be exactly the same. you'd think a band who go on about how they're always writing would include some new stuff but y'know..

Well The 1975 have awful music anyway so it won't matter reyt much if they're good live or not.

:P

i'm seeing mcbusted at the LG, haven't been there since 2006 and it's been renovated since then so could be fun (if you like that sort of thing...which i do)

ugh, can seriously do without bastille

    • 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.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival
