Beady Eye possibly pulling out

[daniel.k]

I think V's thinking is the less flow the acts have, the more people will be moving about from stage to stage and therefore more chance of buying something from a stall

[Boris The Spider]

They probably should've left Angello where he was, bumped up Courteeners & had OCS under them. I'm glad they didn't bump Courteners though cause my plan is to watch them & Beyonce.

[Boris The Spider]

Perhaps they'll throw some of the BE fee at Jay Z to incite a collab.

[daniel.k]

Yeah maybe, guess we will see in 6 days

[Bunny]

That's my plan but i'm debating wether to wade through the crowds after watching the Courteeners to get a good view for Beyonce or just go watch the Script and hopefully i'll have a good view. What do you think? I don't want to be right at the back.

[Boris The Spider]

I'm not a fan of being near the front when I know there'll be a big crush. I usually stand further back towards the sides with a decent view.

[Boris The Spider]

Can anyone remember where scouting for girls were before they took ocs spot? Was it 4music?

[HOLYFIRE]

Yeah I don't want to be at the front but I don't want to be at the back where all I can see is a dot haha. I'm just hoping as you said I can get a relatively decent view for Beyonce as well as seeing The Courteeners.

Scouting For Girls where originally due on after Tom Odell.

[Boris The Spider]

Ah right, so they've probably got the same time they would've had anyway then. Half an hour or so. I wonder if they plan on putting anyone in that 4music slot?

[Boris The Spider]

You should be able to get relatively near the front at the side because everyone seems to go in the centre.

[HOLYFIRE]

[efcfanwirral]

I hope so, either a decent guitar band or an acoustic guy/girl would go well there (I keep saying Charlie Simpson). I just hope it's no more X Factor bollocks.

Sound, I might leave 10 minutes before The Courteeners end just to be sure I get an alright spot.

[Bunny]

Cavorting, Not Nineteen Forever and What Took you So long? Likely to be missed.....

[efcfanwirral]

Yep the last two definitely!

[Boris The Spider]

Cavorting usually in the beginning/middle I find

[Bunny]

Just going by the last time I saw them - that was 3 years ago though!

[Boris The Spider]

The Opener isn't the opener anymore either !

[Kris_lcfc]

Cavorting early/mid set as is acrylic. Bide your time half way through and 19 and took you so long at end. They opened with are you in love with the notion in feb when I seen them

[efcfanwirral]

The Opener isn't the opener anymore either !

[Boris The Spider]

Yeah they opened with that then it was lose control, cavorting, acrylic at Castlefield in July. Liam didn't seem very into the older ones if I'm honest, felt a bit rushed.

[efcfanwirral]

Horrible atmosphere the Saturday at castlefield. . Done about 10 courteeners gigs including festivals and only two I've felt intimidated at were castlefield and Delamere - lads out in the sun drinking all day is the common factor. Though my tolerance for that sort of thing is high, most people would probably feel intimidated at all courteeners gigs!

New stuff sounds strong I think, welcome to the rave is a particular favourite.

[Boris The Spider]

I know what you mean, I felt more relaxed when I went to see Metallica as opposed to when I've seen Oasis.

It's not just V Festival either this weekend who's had acts drop out. Neil Young, Courteeners, XXYYXX and The Pretty Wreckless have all dropped out of Pukkelpop! However, they have informed the crowds they're working hard for a replacement for Neil Young.

[daniel.k]

Why did the Courteeners drop out? Anything that could affect V?
