Your the organiser, you pick!

[Kris_lcfc]

If you were given the job of picking the artists for the main stage, who would you choose? You have to sell tickets and it can't be people you just want to see. Be interesting to see how diverse this gets

[Anthonym93]

Good topic, if we are having to be realistic and choose for V Festival 2013 then it has to be more generic rubbish than what I would have, but keeping to a budget too, and baring in mind the main stage only has 8 acts each day...

SATURDAY

COLDPLAY - will be 10 years since they last played.

STEREOPHONICS/MUMFORD AND SONS - depends if Mumford wont demand headliner status.

JESSIE J - not my choice, but she will be at V next year, and sell the tickets.

YOU ME AT SIX - popular with the girls.

PAOLO NUTINI - great sing-a-long during the day!

*

CROWDED HOUSE - always seem to get an older act earlier in the day.

FEEDER - perfect for opening a festival.

SUNDAY

MUSE - too soon for other festivals?

ELBOW - perfect for a Sunday sing-a-long.

THE VACCINES - got to finally play V.

BRUNO MARS - okay, he was decent in 2010, and will sell tickets.

MADNESS - had them last year, but the perfect festival act.

PALOMA FAITH - always a female act on the main stage.

THE FEELING - the pop act.

PULLED APART BY HORSES - a great start to the Sunday!

Okay, I am tired a couple of slots on the Saturday I give up on..

But notable acts that I would also book for other stages - ENTER SHIKARI (About time they was at V), TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, THE COURTEENERS, FOSTER THE PEOPLE, JAKE BUGG.

[luckysalt]

I read this as, you're the organiser, you prick!

And thought it was a rant at V ha ha.

Heres my thoughts

BOTH DAYS

POP SHIT.

THE END.

Nah I reckon Coldplay are a good shout, I can see Florence there. Maybe even headliner. Katy Perry will probably take a massive slot too

Not the best but would have variety and share of rock and indie and pop (obviously I'm in to the later) with some DJs, Country and other genres in there too

Yes there's x factor a lot there (JLS, Rebecca, Joe and Will) but there was Cher, Olly and Aiden this year and they all fit in

Probably not but the thread is called you pick, and if you consider that most of the v festival crowd would be more interested in seeing skrillex or lady gaga over stereophonics i think it would be possible and would be a cracking gig

Just surprised to see them put so low, I dont doubt it would be awesome however

They have just announced an academy tour, suppose this would be proof that they have dropped down a bit?
