daniel.k Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looking back at previous clashfinders they do seem to be spookily close early on - My question is why have we got the Manics subbing Elbow on Sat at Hylands and Kodaline & Miles Kane & Human League on Sunday there - I have scoured Fan clubs Fansites Facebook Twitter etc etc and can find absolutely nothing! Does someone have 'inside' info? Someone suggested that Manics deserved no lower than at least subbing elbow, so I put them there. I would have them playing 3rd or 4th on from the start on main stage or 3rd from top on MTV stage, but we will see. As for Kodaline, Miles and Human League I just put them onto a random day, where do you think they should play? I'm still loving this idea of the "very special guests" being given a worse stage than Train and The Rifles tbh Where would you have people playing, like Chic and people on the second and third lines of the poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twattybatty Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Where would you have people playing, like Chic and people on the second and third lines of the poster no idea where most of the acts should play but a "very special guest" being hidden away on a stage lower than crap like Train and the mini Swedish House Mafia reunion would just be bizarre, and Neil's already said that V don't have a history of fucking around like that last year the top three lines of the initial poster ended up as the top three for each day on main and the two 4Music headliners, but that already can't work the same way this year cos they've gone and lumped more people into those first three lines, so fuck knwos.

Do you think Chic should headline MTV stage then on opposite day to Axwell and Ingrosso? they would clash with JT though, sure a few people on here would be happy about that. I think the top 3 line are now top 4 for each day and the two MTV headliners, as there are more acts all the way through the line up not just on the 3rd line. Elbow sound like they would play nearly anywhere, so they could sub Chic maybe? Manics 3rd on MTV maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris_lcfc Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 They are subbing mainNo reason at all to doubt you. Called the headliners past 2-3 years if I'm right in remembering.

Mt3110 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Pretty sure Nile Rodgers & Chic will be subbing Justin Timberlake on main, guarantees them a big crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are headlining 2nd stage one of you will be unhappy I think they will clash JT and Elbow as Axwell and Ingrosso are doing Killers day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 unhappy? i'm seeing JT in Birmingham anyway so I don't really care, in fact if there's another decent act on at the same time I might even be happy, hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to do a large majority of it ie 2 hours or more, could Chic sub Killers and then the rest of the line up times might stay nearly the same even with JT doing a longer than usual set. Doubt he will do much more than 90 mins though. When is the JT concert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's not a "rumoured" 3-hour set, every single performance on his tour so far has lasted roughly three hours. Although there is an interval in that and also a few cover versions so if he just played all the way through and stuck to his own songs it probably wouldn't come to much more than two hours-ish. Then he could do a Beyonce and cut half an hour just by simply not doing certain songs that are more 'fan favourites' than 'crowd pleasers'. For 'Freakum Dress' read 'Until The End of Time', for 'Schoolin' Life' read 'FutureSex/LoveSound' etc. Or of course as you suggest he could just do the whole damn thing, which would more than explain the apparent lack of a second real sub.. Birmingham concert's April 12th, the last night of his UK stay, I'm so excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think V would have JT do the longer set but it would be good to see him do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 So am I Chic would be the only one I'd have down as real subbing material. Ed is just about possible because of his Arena tour which has sold really well. But that's it. Paolo Nutini has been away for too long, and unless his album somehow produced five number ones between now and August doesn't have enough hits anyway. Example would go down like a led balloon. And Lily's voice probably isn't strong enough to carry to such a big crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having Chic makes guessing the positions from the line up positions harder than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
