Only hylands Saturday has sold out

[ives56]

For some reason bieber has made Saturday sell 

[PeterGregory]

Sunday Weston Park tickets have sold out on both Ticketmaster and SeeTickets so Beiber is definitely proving to be a big draw.

I think the point that I'm not bothered by Bieber or Rihanna but V have still put out a better lineup than Reading is telling.

I wouldn't say they have to be honest. Well not for me. It isn't that great, and certainly not worth the £300+ it'd cost to do it, but 14 acts I'd see at Reading (Foals, Disclosure, Biffy, FOB, Chvrches, Maximo Park, RHCP, TDCC, HAIM, Jack Garrat, Slaves, The 1975, Raleigh Ritchie and The King Blues) is still significantly better than having four acts I'd pay to see (Sia, Halsey, Kaisers, John Newman) at V for the same-ish outlay.

Biffy and The King Blues are the only one's I'd really make an effort for.....but I'd rather wait for a full headline set from Biffy. I'd see Faithless, probably Kaisers, Y&Y, Jess Glynne, Travis and Bugg.

It doesn't cost £300+.

[atomised]

It probably does for.many when.you factor in travel etc

[ives56]

Bought my ticket today for weekend can't wait to see lethal bizzle John Newman Bastille jake bugg faithless and Kaiser chiefs

Yeah. If I was to go to Reading and did it properly, with early entry and everything, I'd be looking at £295-ish even before food or merch etc. I'd need a good 20 acts I'd definitely want to see to justify that kind of money V is far cheaper for me to get to although even with that taken into account it's been nowhere near justifable since 2014.

[ives56]

Anyone know when some more acts get added and when they announce day splits ?

[Toon Army]

Anybody's guess when the next announcement will be, it is different every year. Last year it was 27 March, but that means nowt

[ives56]

I hope it's soon really keen to find out who else will be there

[ives56]

Radio 1 summer of dance for the Friday night is apparently getting announced Friday night

Yeah it is, will be interesting to see if any match that article..

[ives56]

I'm thinking maybe skrillex and maybe avici and netsky

[ives56]

Eric prydz Danny Howard Annie Mac and DJ EZ at Chelmsford on the Friday night

[NickisGinger]

I got excited for Gorgon City & Wilkinson. But that's not the park I'm going too :-(. I'll have Eric Prydz though. I take this is going to be in the Arena stage..

[ives56]

Same here but should be good to see Eric prydz and Danny Howard should be good they will probably do it in the dance tent 

[daniel.k]

Arena most likely, unless they change the layout the arena is nearest the camping entrances if I remember correct, and is bigger than the dance tent which is the opposite side of the site at hylands. Avicii and Skrillex did seem unrealistic but you have Annie Mac which should be fun for whoever goes. 

[ives56]

Dident realise the dance tent was small as dident go last year lol nothing wrong with being optimistic should be a good night

[ives56]

Am I crazy thinking bring me the horizon might be at v this year I hope they get announced

They are at a festival in Austria, Thu - Sat, but they've not announced day lineups yet.

[Stu the drunken]

Going with 21Pilots & Busted in the next line up release.

[ives56]

Hopefully bring me the horizon on the Sunday would be happy with 21 pilots and busted but doubt 21 pilots will be at v as they are at reading 

[ives56]

Josh widdocombe is a good shout for the comedy stage as he is on tour around the time especially close as he's in Colchester just before
