What do you think?

Die Antwoord playing to a V Festival crowd in 2016 would be quite something. Although I guess nothing's too ridiculous to be believable after The War On Drugs were booked to play just before David Guetta at T 2015.

I don't get what'd be so weird about that one, personally, but a couple of people have said similarly to you so I guess I just don't know. RHCP would seem a lot more out of place.

Did you go last year? V isn't going to be better than this so I'll give it a go. 

I did not but that shouldn't stop you from giving it a go

Perhaps they've listened to people who moan about the line-up constantly every year..

[DomDom1984]

But it'd still be RHCP doing two festivals ( with four dates over it ) in a month in the same country. So yeah, it's blatantly not going to happen.

Die Antwoord in a prominent spot was still the weirdest thing on there though. Would be fascinating though.

This thread is so dead for the night before an announcement. I guess we just want to know who is playing so we can rule out you can't elsewhere.

Im really hoping for kodaline busted kanye west and biffy clyro 

[nikkielauran]

Any chance of Ed Sheeran?

[ives56]

Nah don't think ed sheeran will be there we can wish though

[Pothuthic]

Biebs and Kings Of Leon is my guess, with Years and years, Jack Garratt, James Bay, Emeli Sande, James Morrison, Jess Glynne, Busted, Rev and makers.

If it's bieber and kings of Leon I hope the other stages have good acts not a big fan of bieber and seen kings of Leon before really hoping for years and years as missed them at big weekend and busted for old time memories

Tbf Bieber is one of the biggest recording artists in the world right now, but yeah if they got Bieber subbing someone like Rihanna or coheadlining with someone like Bruno Mars, with a less V common guitar based headliner (Coldplay, Foos?), it'd be incredibly hyped up. But no we all want Kings Of Leon again apparently... (Despite the fact their last hit was before they headlined the first time...)

(Killers and Sheeran for 2017 anyone?)

I wouldn't mind them getting him headlining with Bruno mars but don't think that will happen . It's a bit annoying they keep getting the same guitar act for the amount of money but I'm sure I will be going this year anyway it's always a good weekend

Hopefully not the killers for 2017

[daniel.k]

Killers will probably be in with a shout, but we all hope for different. Martin Garrix or someone similar for the second stage maybe. A lot of us will be disappointed by V again

[JBarbour]

Justin Bieber and Rihanna will headline

Sia, David Guetta, Faithless, Bastille, Little Mix, Craig David, Years & Years, Kasier Chiefs, Jake Bugg among others announced

[NickisGinger]

Always knew it was gonna be Rihanna haha

[foolee]

So no guitar headliner this year, actually think people would have preferred killers or kol as V has true my turned into a pop festival now 

[atomised]

Kind of expected theyd go all pop this year

[Pothuthic]

Yeah I can't help but think how pop that really is

(as much as for me I think it's bloody amazing, but that's because I'm into pop and quite a few of these artists, however killing the guitar off?)

[daniel.k]

Faithless and Sia could be seen as positives in the overall picture. But Beiber and Rihanna for V is too pop orientated, guess we will see how it sells and what the general reaction is

It will sell very well, just because of Bieber.

How far has Jake Bugg fallen!!!

Shows how well I'm awake, I thought you said General Election

[thetime]

Oh dear, oh deary me.

[markqpr2000]

my personal is that this is a truly shocking line up. In 5 years time this festival will be for u18s only. It will close at 2200 every night and have no camping and no alcohol being sold.
