Doesn't mean anything. The Download website have been advertising Kiss tickets all year, but Kiss aren't playing Download.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

So advertise alternative gigs for bands who you're hoping will help sell out your festival? Hmm...

[JBarbour]

So.

Which lineup?

Fair point.

Either way, let's hope Kasabian get announced for V. Don't need them stinking up the Reading/Leeds Line-up.

[tomdsjames]

I hope Green Day and Muse aren't headlining V. I'm already going to 2 festivals, I'll have no money left if I have to pay for V as well.

[brfcstar]

Wont be Muse and Green Day its gonna be Kasabian and Kings of Leon

[JBarbour]

As anything else been said about the info that may be coming Reading/Leeds way from efest?

Is it eliminating rumours due to V line-up, and adding other rumours?

IF green day and muse do get announced for V, that mean R/L gonna get Kasabian?

[luckysalt]

found out

The very first V Festival line-up announcement will be made today at 17:55 on Absolute Radio

Just thought they might be hints.

Download festival is owned and managed by Live Nation, its in there interest to advertise there other products

Whereas the "V" represents the Virgin Group, green day/muse could be, and prob most likely just paid ads for gigs and albums

[JBarbour]

V doesn't represent the Virgin Group, although the festival was started by Richard Branson, he no longer has anything to do with it, it is a SJM festival. Who also organise concerts just like Live Nation do.

The only ties V has to Virgin is the fact the name value was there so they chose to keep it as V rather than having to rebrand it, and the main sponsor is Virgin Media, just like Carling was the sponsor of Reading in the past, but Carling didn't book the acts

[eFestivals]

Hopefully not.

definitely not.

[Dukeeyyy]

muse will only do Glasto and i doubt greenday will do any british fests this year because of stadium shows...

[jonnyisRFC]

definitely not.

erm nice way to steal the 2009 reading/leeds line up there v

[Fozzy_Bear]

How have they stolen last years lineup?

The acts on that poster of any relevance that played Leeds/Reading last year are Kings Of Leon, The Courteeners, Passion Pit, The Prodigy, Florence and White Lies.

Stolen lineup? I hardly think so. To have only 6 bands playing that played Reading and Leeds is hardly worth a comparison

[Desmond 48]

La Roux headlined the Festival Republic stage & Chase & Status played the dance tent. that makes it 8 acts. considering they've only announced around 32 acts, almost a quarter of the bands played r&l last year. including one of the r&l headliners.

obvsiously it was never going to be exactly the same but it just struck me initially there were a fair few bands there who also played r&l in 2009.

[Lithium05]

How can people be worried about Reading's line-up when it's competition looks like that

What a load of shite

I'd be very worried if one of v's rumoured headliners was blink182.
