V Festival: Efestivals Forums version

[daniel.k]

I would find another act to see instead of Kylie though, she might put on a good show but I couldnt care less

[Pothuthic]

Shes a music icon, much better than Steve Angello?

[daniel.k]

Yeah but being an Icon doesnt mean I would go see the person. Rolling stones are Iconic but I would rather have seen Example and Chase and Status so I am watching Example now and I have recorded Chase and Status to watch later

[Pothuthic]

Theres a difference between Kylie and The Rolling Stones

Examples shit

I went to Glastonbury when Bowie headlined, I went and saw basement jaxx instead.

Daniel - where the hell have you placed Vampire Weekend? Watch them this evening (3rd top on the Pyramid Stage) and find out why that is absolutely ludicrous!!

[Bunny]

I take it back, I've looked again and 75% of it is ludicrous!!!!!

I know they should be higher, and as I have already said in another post it was a first draft that I did last night. Where would you want to have Vampire Weekend play? so you would have to move someone down a stage. It was more a case of sorting the top 3 out for each stage, and then the rest was just balancing stages up. Yeah Vampire weekend are third on the Pyramid but alot of people have said this year the Pyramid doesnt have good music on it, and that the line up for it is shit. If I particularly dont like an act after the first bit of a few songs I wouldnt put them high on a stage (apart from Nick Cave because thetime wasnt happy with his placing on Poths list) Pretty much everyone on the other stages deserve to be where they are, you cant have the strongest acts all the way through the day on one stage so its balanced out by having acts that would normally be higher being placed lower. The fact that there are alot of good acts that wouldnt normally be on one line up makes it alot harder to put people in an order.

As for the DJ's I tried to contain them to one stage or headlining 4music where Guetta and Harris have/will play for V anyway so that dance fans would have their time to stick around one stage. It looks easy to throw a few names into a list but it was a mind numbing process, theres like 2/3 festivals-worth of acts to fit in one line up but I would buy a ticket for it

I dont think 75% of it is ludicrous, most of them could play in a similar slot if thats what the festival had. PSY opening main to get a big gangnam style going it would be great

[daniel.k]

Where would you suggest each of them play, as Vaccines are another type of band that wouldnt play lower than third on main, Florance and the Machine wouldnt play lower than sub really but on the Beyonce day Kylie co headlines, so that pushes whoever would sub down a slot.

I think Bastille could play the slot they are in, David Grey would be a nice start to the afternoon and Of Monsters and Men would be good anywhere really

[Pothuthic]

Actually i will move Psy to main stage

[daniel.k]

Yeah, I think I would put no one against him so everyone should be there

I would just put the pop in the campsite stage and the djs in the car park stage, leave the proper music to the arena stages wink wink.

[thetime]

If proper music is in the arena, pop in ten campsite, DJs in the car park, where does the indie go?

[Com Truise]

There is no indie it's either proper or it's shit THERE'S NO INBETWEEN

[Bunny]

Does Indie not simply mean independent anymore, i.e. independent label, self produced etc... or am I showing my age and it has actually evolved in to its own genre of music?

[Com Truise]

Technically Macklemore is 'indie'

[daniel.k]

Technically yeah, that could mean small heavy metal bands are indie because they arent signed up. I think the definition isnt quite right
