Though I wouldn't doubt her playing T and V, t in the park doesn't fall on the 15th....

Ah to be fair guys, I just looked at it and funnily enough I check the availability of the next year to see if it ruled T out making this year possible and with her dates, what if and when true, they do lol.

True though what's been said, and it's one heck of a list of dates to be already sorted going a fair way into 2014.

[thetime]

She did say she was going to do a 2 year tour. Can see lady gaga subbing for coldplay.

[mercury]

i'm also certain i'll be returning to v again this year, having been a regular in 02,03,04,05,06 and 08. i moved on as v doesnt massively fit with my taste anymore, however if the stone roses are playing there's not a chance il miss it and im still a firm believer that despite a lot of the v lineup not being to my taste, there is still just about enough each day for me to pretty much always be seeing stuff i like.

bearing that in mind id love to see some of the following at v this year, im sticking with bands who are possible rather than going with anything too leftfield...

the stone roses

either or preferably both gallaghers - beady eye and noel and his high flying birds

the vaccines

kasabian (i realise this isnt likely due to the fact they would have to headline and have done so rather recently)

shaun ryder/happy mondays

the charlatans

primal scream (again not too likely as played last year but you never know)

the who

morrissey

chemical brothers

daft punk

super furry animals

maximo park

spiritualized

pulp

paul weller

elbow

the rifles

bon iver

the coral

the cribs

all the young

now i realise only maybe a handful of those will be playing at most but that would be great by me.

also im not adverse to some poppier stuff too and would be happy if any of the following were playing...

kanye west

drake

ceelo green

plan b

beyonce

janelle monae

frank ocean

Think you would be better at a 90's retro fest mercury!

[mercury]

haha i guess i was just trying to pick bands that v might stand a chance of booking at at times v is a bit of a 90s retro fest itself.

i like plenty of new music too, honest!

Pulp have tweeted saying, so you think this is over?

[the salmon]

Id love to see Pulp. Would they headline or sub though? Cant see Roses and Pulp being the 2 headliners, though i would like to see the chavs reaction to that, they would have no idea

[the salmon]

I imagine Pulp would sub to the roses.

[Flaminglippy]

That would be a quality shout, it would be like the 90s again, just add Blur, Menswear, Sleeper and Suede and we will have a 90's revival day

[mrtourette]

Marion...Gene...Longpigs...

[Chiefski]

Theres some names that should never come back haha...

The Coachella announcement also voids that Lady Gaga link, for the first few dates atleast

[gazza_20]

If Pulp do a fest or festivals I think, Rockness headliner and V sub is possible. But should that happen I reckon that put's Noel at R&L.

Nah i rekon Pulp will be at Hop Farm and Bestival

[Kierkegaard]

Not a cat in hell's chance that Pulp will sub at V Festival. If they play, which I highly doubt, they'll headline.

I doubt Bestival as well to be honest. They fit with the ethic, but they played under Foo Fighters at Isle Of Wight last year. Similarly, would they go back to headline Rockness the year after subbing T?

Hop Farm fits the bill a little better, I could see that happening.at a push.

[Jailbreak]

I'd forgotten that the original V festival was pretty much started by Jarvis cocker, might be an incentive on his part to play there again. Pulp headlining along with Stone Roses would be a brilliant set of headliners.

They subbed at T as well didn't they?

[gazza_20]

Why not?

They subbed at IOW last year, they only headlined at Leeds and subbed at Reading, both of those 3 day festivals, V often pushes acts lower on the bill due to the fact its only 2 days.

But yeah theres Hop Farm and don't forget Phoenix, but they could do both those and V too.

[Kierkegaard]

It's about context this one. The first V Festival in 1996 was actually just an extension of two massive Pulp gigs. They were at the height of their fame, and approached Virgin with the idea for the shows, and then added extra acts and stages and even a second day in Chelmsford, and it became V Festival.

There is no chance, I mean no chance, of them continuing to tour in 2012 (which will probably be their last year) only to revisit the festival that they started in a sublining slot. When they started it, they were the star attraction, and it was the biggest weekend of their careers. Why would they ever want to finish up their career by returning to do a support show for Lady Gaga or Coldplay?

The only reason they co-headlined R+L (a co-headliner is still a headliner by the way!) was because they couldn't offer exclusivity because they wanted to play other shows. In the same way, this is why they didn't headline Glastonbury last year, because they wanted to play other festival shows (I think they needed the R+L payday, and I don't blame them). Equally, at Isle Of Wight, they were booked for a headliners fee and announced (if not billed) as a headline act (in this case, apparently, because John Giddings had already booked KOL, Foos and Kasabian prior to the reunion announcement, but didn't want to miss out on having Pulp). T is a different kettle of fish because their lineup is all huge names. If Pulp had given R+L exclusivity, they would have been out-and-out headliners. They weren't given a co-headlining slot because organsiers thought 'well, they just dont have the same body of work as My Chemical Romance.'
