Struggle for headliners?

[Flaminglippy]

v's either going to get something like the stone roses or more than likely take that w. robWilliams

[tomdsjames]

Cool. in that case i would like to say that the 'Fightstar' band, with charlie posh,posh..outa 'Busted' fame

suck ass on a huge scale, so will probably headline 'V' next year.

or Lilly The utter Fuc*ing Tool Allen will...(shudder)

[johnty]

literally from the sublime to the ridiculous...

bob dylan and the cure would be amazing!

[redmad1971]

The way i see it is that if a band/troupe of dancers can fill stadiums, then they will sell tickets for v. Who they are is irrelevant . V is all about the bejamins

[johnty]

Whats bejamins? Stevie Wonder "be jamin til the break of dawn"?

[TheNewUnion]

Ben Franklin is on the US $100 bill, Benjamin's is slang for money

[Benj]

Arctic Monkeys

Take That

[Bunny]

Anyone who thinks RHCP will play reading really is a special case.

[luckysalt]

I really think next year will be a 3 dayer and one of those headliners will be Kasabian for sure

I saw them straight after V and the singer said have any of you just been to V, big yeah, did you miss us? big yeah, GOOD! was his reply.

I know they've played a lot but, bands usually look to the future not the past so Im guessing they'll be there next year as headliners

Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses

Thats my guess

[luckysalt]

Why?

V favourite.... coming round on the famous V rota system..... along with Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Muse..... hear they come.... who can V grab...???????

Coldplay and Red Hot Chillis!!!!

Sh!t.... now that's going to cost us a lot on our 300% profit margin. Let's cram an extra 5,000 people on to the site and pad out the line up with NDubz, Duffy, Katy Perry, Sugbabes, Tinchy Stryder, Miley Cyrus.....

Still short of profit you say? Crap. Let's get rid of the Barcardi Bar and half the amount of toilets.....

That's better.

And before you ask, no I don;t work for Virgin (but pretty sure I could with forward thinking like that).

[Flaminglippy]

Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses

[staffsknot]

If you get Foo Fighters, you could get QOTSA then you basically have Them Crooked Vultures and I'd sell both my kidneys (after the concert so condition may be poor) to see that!

Replace Kasabian with Foo Fighters and I would literally crawl over broken glass to get to that one...but the Roses won't happen

[Bunny]

Bacardi pay to be there not the other way around, same goes for the Strongbow, and they're very successful from what I can see

There's still a good few band out there big enough to fill the slot.

With The Libertines likely to reform next year, i can see one of the biggies snapping them up as a headline slot, best bet would be Reading/Leeds though.

Arctic Monkeys will be about but I really just can't see them ever playing V.

Prodigy wouldnt be a bad shout for a return, maybe Faithless, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx etc...

Although I wouldn't like to see it, I could see the Scissor Sisters back with a headling slot, which would in my opinion be an extreme disappointment.

But like i said there are plenty of bands out there, hopefully V will pick up a good mix this year (Muse, R.E.M, RHCP, Foos as possible headliners), as well as some real decent supporting bands (The Enemy, Editors, Glasvegas, Klaxons, Friendly Fires etc...). And not spunk all their budget on two headliners and fill the rest of the bill with muchly over-rated 'pop' music.

I'm sure most of you will agree...

[matt266]

The Strokes must be due a new album out soon?

It will be Kasabian + a n other me thinks

[PaulDavis]

I think it will be

Arctic Monkeys

Kasabian/Aerosmith/Coldplay/Radiohead

If Kasabian dont headline, they'll be supporting Arctic Monkeys but i can see them joint headlining with Arcitc Monkeys

[luckysalt]

For me if its Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys Id be very disappointed, mainly because Ive just seen kasabian and have tickets to Arctics on the new tour

Im absolutley sick of Kasabian to be honest, feels like they've been rammed down my throat for the last few years, and so they had this year off at V, I think they should do Reading next year and give V a rest for a while, say 3 year gap.

Arctic's have never played V so I can't moan about them playing plus it would make a lot of people happy, so they would be a good booking, but Id rather something big, like the Stone Roses as a one off reunion show, massive pay off for them for a weekend at V and maybe a brief warm up date or two in the UK as well, would be nice. Its those sort of things that make festivals special

Why do people think stone roses are going to reform?
