I think they are pretty good reasonable names, all pretty believable to have a chance of being there. I would have loved to see Passenger there because I have seen him twice already and think he would be good a third time. I agree with all the other names, and I think maybe someone like Tinie Tempah or Example would have made Kings of Leon day abit better but I know they wouldnt be doing V this year. Is Tinie actually doing anywhere, I know he was meant to be at KISSbeach but it was cancelled, same as Dizzee was meant to be there

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Think people suggested Jason Derulo might play.

[daniel.k]

He could have been good, looking at the line up where do you think he would have played

[Rose-Colored Boy]

[daniel.k]

Yeah that could fit, I think maybe after Scouting for girls and before Rudimental

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Scouting For Girls are bigger than him though.

[daniel.k]

Hmm depends how you look at it. I think Derulo has bigger songs and more recent songs, but im guessing SFG are doing a new album now. Im not too familiar with either apart for Derulo dances alot and says his name in his songs alot

[Anthonym93]

Hurts or The Wombats.

[Toon Army]

Chic

[Gucci Piggy]

There was no chance of Chic at V, surely.

[daniel.k]

Yeah I thought they would have made a good addition, but im happy we have who we have. No one new that ill really see, apart from Steve Angello and Nina Nesbitt definitely, others like Netsky will be likely.

[DarthSaul]

Thought young kato might be on the futures stage, a pretty new little indie band who got some coverage on Made in Chelsea so sounds right up Vs street.. They are pretty good though

[daniel.k]

I remember them on there I think, they played one really repetitive song. Maybe they will be added if there are more acts to be announced, maybe same time as Comedy tent

[DarthSaul]

Yeah I checked out the clip of them on there, they play the chorus from one song over and over The proper song isn't like that and I have a feeling no more music will be announced

[daniel.k]

Ahh right, I didnt know if the full song was like that

Do you think V would have 2 less acts on second stage for the second day? I cant see them giving calvin harris a really long set, I think 30 songs same as at Radio1, just because I like that set list

Plus there are 4 less acts on Futures stage for KoL day, which would arguably be the cheapest and easiest to fill.

[DarthSaul]

Yeah I don't see why not. They will probably just put longer gaps in between them all, and no I think he will get the standard hour and 20 or however much that stage usually gets.

They aren't going to sell tickets on the strength of individual acts on the futures stage so I reckon they will leave it how it is, they don't need to spend any more money on the stage is how I think they will see it

[Prat.]

Do they even spend any money on the Undercover/Futures line-up? I've always kind of assumed the artists pay V to let them perform, not the other way around. Hence why some people thought Bo Bruce played it last year 'because she was rich'.

[daniel.k]

I just dont see why they would have a full line up for one day but not the other. If the balanced it up so people didnt notice then I would understand, but having longer breaks throws the clashfinder into a spin

[daniel.k]

The artists would possibly play for free but theres no way they pay to play I don't think..

I don't think V book artists with the aim of helping people who make clashfinders out

[Boris The Spider]

They usually announce a handful of acts closer to the time, like oh its getting close now here's some new additions.. but it'll be like 5 or 6 and no one really big

[daniel.k]

6 would fit quite well, and 2 should be on second stage so they are big enough I guess.

When do we think Comedy Lineup will be announced and who do we want for it? Will anyone spend time there?

[Boris The Spider]

I like comedy, but i'd rather see music. I think they'd have to be rib hurtingly funny for me to miss any bands for them.
