The killers again is going to be my obvious guess to be honest - they sort of cross over enough.  

Im still not convinced about ed sheeran, it came from the same info as Mumford which was wrong. Quite interested who'll be announced now as we don't have loads to go off

Bruno mars perhaps as headliner?

The Killers are BST uk festival exclusive and Bruno has a show in US on the 19th so it isn't them

I know V has gone a lot more towards a pop festival these days but hopefully they could pull towards more of the indie/rockbands.. Biffy Clyro would be a great shout for the other stage or the likes of Foals or Bombay Bicycle Club! Or is this wishful thinking

Throwing Eminem's name in the hat for no apparent reason other than nobody has said he's exclusively R+L Fest!

Would be ideal but I can't see it. 

I feel like Katy Perry could be within a chance

Very rare V and Leeds have had the same headliner so rule Eminem out! Ok last year was different but they do tend to have a band headline...Coldplay? 

[sisco]

Ermm Ticketmaster seem to have messed up and announced it 24hrs too early....

[FloorFiller]

Christ I don't think anybody would've predicted those two headliners  your usual V Fest shite, really. Not sure how well that'll sell - neither of those names are currently huge hyped up acts like V usually tends to go for, but maybe that'll change in the coming months with new album announcements etc.

[NickisGinger]

To be fair, I'm there haha

[dentalplan]

Neither act has played in the UK or Europe for a few years now so I think those headliners are quite good. Wish R+L had Jay Z over Eminem anyway. Undercard is same old shite.

I think the various colors makes it look worse.

[foolee]

Do FR own V now?

[Pothuthic]

I've been desperate to see Pink for years, so I guess I'll get a day ticket for that, there's a fair few of the undercard I want to see too, so might end up with a weekend ticket.

 

Worth pointing out that Capital FM are sponsoring V now

[efcfanwirral]

Wow they've completely sacked off the guitar music 100% now. Not even a nod with crossover bands like kaiser chiefs. Pink headlining?? 

[kells004]

I hope it's wrong....swap Jay z for ed and it's 10 times better

They sponsored it the last two years aswell.

It'd be interesting to know whether Beyonce was the one originally booked... But Jay Z stepped in as a result of the pregnancy.

I'd say the Jay Z booking is pretty volatile anyway... As far as I can see Jay Z has no shows announced to date and with twins on the way one little thing could mean a cancellation.

My Predictions would be

Lady Gaga - Pink - Bastille - Clean Bandit - Dizzee Rascal - Lawson - Louisa Johnson

The Script - Kaiser Cheifs - TDCC - Haim - All Time Low - Fratelies - Miles Kane

Mark Ronson - Annie Mac - Jonas Blue - Duke Dumont

---------------

Drake - The Weeknd - Craig David - Professor Green - Fetty Wapp - Katy B - Wretch 32

Faithless - Basement Jaxx - Hozier - George Ezra - Nathan Sykes - Jessie Ware - Newton Faulkner

Chase & Status - Panic at the Disco - Azealia Banks - Karen Harding

 

idk if this is even close to what it'll be but. Can definitely see 2 mainstream headliners

Well I did say Pink but didn't expect her to headline...

Clean Bandit Dizze Rascal Craig David George Ezra but other than that I was pretty much miles off

I see that, but its too professional imo.

[Jasonbee]

Last years fake one was quite professional as well to be fair

I thought that too, but I've seen quite a few tweets saying ticketmaster tweeted it...

 

[NickisGinger]

Someone on Twitter captured it when Ticketmaster tweeted it...I'm not sure, kind of hoping it's fake now. Although that hashtag is seriously weird.
