I'm not going to make a list as they all are going to be close. What I will say is I wouldn't include SHM in any predictions. Massive outdoor show to sell out in the UK, I would so next to no chance of a show there.

[Scottish Stu]

Yeah, i was at the Prodigy's MK Bowl show then watched them at V a few weeks later in 2010, so if SHM do play V i might be doing that again this year!

[gazza_20]

Think it could be more likely due to this. I remember the Prodigy doing the same a couple of years ago.

[JJOKOCHA]

[Doves_Fan]

Is it just me that feels sick with excitement when reading these posts?! I don't think the Killers are headliners so would be disappointed there, however if any of the other acts there are anything like the above I would be more than happy!!

[Babyquack]

Well it's safe to say you'll be happy.

[BTK1609]

I don't even think I'm going to V as I'm likely to do Reading instead but I can't wait for the line up!

[brfcstar]

Manchester evening news annouced on their website earlier saying Manchester takes over V festival with headliners The Stone Roses, Noel Gallager co headlining with The Killers. They also say that Happy Mondays and the Courteeners are playing. This had since been removed from the site.

Here is the full article that was mentioned above (I think)

The heady days of "Madchester" are set to be revisited at this summer's V Festival with performances from The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays.

Ian Brown's seminal rock act - who fell apart in 1996 and announced their hotly anticipated reunion last October - will join US stars The Killers to headline the event, which runs across two days on two sites in Essex and Staffordshire.

Salford act Happy Mondays, fronted by Shaun Ryder, are also on the bill on August 18 and 19, along with Noel Gallagher - a fellow Mancunian who was inspired by the Roses - and his High Flying Birds.

Sir Tom Jones, Snow Patrol, and recent double Brit winner Ed Sheeran will perform, as will US singer Nicki Minaj and homegrown stars Tinie Tempah, Example and Olly Murs. Veteran acts The Human League, Madness, The Proclaimers and The Stranglers will also play the twin-site event.

The festival, now in its 17th year, is run across Hylands Park, Chelmsford, and Weston Park in Staffordshire.

Organisers said more acts will be announced across the four stages. Performers for the Glee Club comedy tent will also be revealed in the lead-up to the event.

And luxury camping facilities will see a return with yurts, teepees and pop-up hotel rooms.

Festival director Simon Moran said: "We're really delighted with the line-up this year. We have a great mix of artists topping a bill that will see the welcome return to live performance of Manchester's finest export, along with some of the biggest acts in the music industry today."

He added: "The mix of established and exciting breakthrough acts promises to give festival-goers a cracking weekend."

Tickets for the Virgin Media-sponsored event go on sale from Friday March 2 at 10am with fans advised to visit http://www.vfestival.com/, where all official outlets are detailed.

Festival director Bob Angus said: "As in previous years, we want to again emphasise how important it is for fans to buy their tickets from official outlets listed on VFestival.com. This will ensure they don't miss out on what promises to be the hottest ticket this summer."
