Seen em all....

[Pissmagnet]

Firstly good evening campers!

Secondly I've seen all the line ups for this years "main" festivals including the imba unreal (yea right) glasto one and although it ain't perfect for everyone( including myself! Get the strokes already! Ohh and aar!!) I think that V is by a mile the best line up this summer. Ok it has it's normal portion of commerical pop bands, but I think it's a good stack all in all!! Now that the line ups are all but complete what do the rest of you guys think???

T in the Parks is the one to beat.

[theramm]

Regardless of line-up (which is all personal taste & therefore subjective) R&L win due to less repeat bookings & an extra day of festival for the same money, plus they've got a comedy tent.

[brfcstar]

V's line up this year has to be up there as one of the best around this year. But to be honest most line ups this year are very strong.

[thetime]

as the talk is about r/l and v, v is for my tastes alot better. apart from arcade fire the lineups really poor in my opinion and for my tastes.

Except for the Saturday Reading is very poor this year...looks like trying to go back to its rock roots but is gonna struggle to compete given the kind of line ups Sonisphere and Download have got this year

I'd have to say that Glasto has the best lineup. Just because there's so much of it, and so much variety. V has done damn well for itsself this year though. Looking forward to it so much!

[paulos316]

you sure?

Going to both V and Leeds and i cant wait!

But i think V has the better lineup though just becauseof personal tastes, Kol, fatm, white lies etc

[BrickByBoringBriick]

I've found that there's been a lot of talk about Reading and Leeds just because they've got The Libertines! They're probably the only band that I'd really want to see if I went to Reading. And let's be honest the reliability of Pete Doherty is questionable.

V certainly has more of my sort of music. I like a bit of indie/rock but then the more poppy stuff such as Scouting for Girls and Mika I also enjoy.

When I first saw the TITP lineup I thought it was veery strong just because of Muse really. But compared to last years lineup, it's pretty shocking. Eminiem? If I was there I'd certainly be missing him.

Considering Glasto is 40 I'm a bit disappointed with their bookings. BUUT I'm pretty sure they'll surprise us.

All in all V is the one for me this year.

[Pissmagnet]

There's bits and bobs from all festivals I'd like to see, weezer being one but some of the others bands aint all that guns n roses I loved but let's be honest it's just roses now, libertines are doing it for the pay day and that's it. And glastos anniversary line up is the shits I think. So while I'd like to pick a few from others to add to the v line up, I personally think v has the strongest line up

But glasto lineup will never be a disappointment as there are so many acts on so many stages to see. There is something for everyone.

[Crouch15]

people just see the main stage at glasto and think its rubbish.

where theres so much more.

[Andy0808 V2.0]

Exactly. To be honest I don't spend that much time at the pyramid stage, I definetly be watching stevie wonder. The smaller stages usually have more acts I want to see.

But as you said most people just see the Glasto main stages acts and judge it on those.

Up till 2 years ago I went to V for 8 years in a row but I noticed that quite alot of the v lineup is similar to 2 years ago.

So i won't be goin back to chelsmford until the lineup suits my tastes abit more.

And Id bet £100 that the killers will headline V next year as they seem to be on a squad rotation. Play 1 then miss the next then back on.

[j...rox]

I bet Coldplay and Snow Patrol next year. Coldplay haven't done a UK festival in a long time and V and Glasto next year wouldn't surprise me. Otherwise Radiohead / Green Day / Foos would be the other option and who knows who may be Kasabian size this time next year as we haven't hit the summer yet for big songs? The Killers won't be here for 2 to 3 years I think.

[thetime]

I bet Coldplay and Snow Patrol next year.

[brfcstar]

wouldnt imagine both would headline, as very similar.

I imagine the headliners will be 2 of the headliners at other festivals from this year.

Think you may be right id say somethin like Muse and Arcade Fire
