2014

[Com Truise]

I'm pretty sure someone was selling a dodgy batch of pills at the Hardwell gig. That and Hardwell attracts loads of c**ts.

If they were wanting to really focus on promoting the new album, wouldnt Glasto be a better platform to do that? Could anyone see them being saturday night headliner? Wouldnt think it would fit in with older act that they are after but it could happen...Maybe next year?

I don't think the likes of Foo Fighters need Glasto to promote a new album and I imagine they'd tour the US before coming over here, so Glasto might be a little bit too soon for them to hit the UK. I think The Eagles/Elbow/Prince are all more likely for the last Glasto slot as well

Yeah so next year might be more realistic

Anyone think there is a chance of New Order? Maybe in one of the tents.

Every year I dream of New Order and Depeche Mode at the same festival and every year I am dissapointed.

I'd keep dreaming or check out another festival if I was you. If depeche mode are being touted as a glasto headliner they ain't going to take a lesser spot in a tent at V festival where nobody will have probably heard of them

I failed to get tickets for Glasto :-(

I will be devastated if they are on at Glasto. Will have to find a way to get in.

I meant New Order for a tent. They would be perfect as a last act in there.

Shows how poor music is at present when people are talking about Muse and Elbow as potential headliners yet no one has heard of New Order or Depeche Mode.

Depeche Mode arent touring after the first part of this year so i wouldnt worry

I saw them in Manchester last Novemeber so I getting a bit greedy really.

New Order will be out and out though I reckon. Best gig I have ever been to was last year when they were on at Jodrell Bank. Would love them to be on there again as it is a fantastic place for a gig but there is not much chance of that unfortunately.

I will be going V no matter what. Would be nice to have someone on who I really want to see.

The Human League are always good for V anyway :-)

[Toon Army]

The missus will be over the moon if the human league are on again

Best afternoon ever for me at V was the year before last when Human League, Pixie Lott and Happy Mondays were on one after each other in the tent. The killers seemed a massive anti climax on the main stage after that.

The Mondays would be good again in the tent. The Mondays and New Order now that is something to dream about.

[Toon Army]

I love the old timers in the tent, big audio dynamite was like a dream come true for me

[daniel.k]

I think DJ Fresh will be back at V again, but I think Miss Dynamite could be there as well and then come on to sing with DJ Fresh as they did a lot of the new album together.

Not exactly Depeche Mode and New Order but I think they are more realistic for V

[Pothuthic]

I'd love The Human League again, Madness would be great too

I like Dj Fresh so him being on would be pretty good.

It is a pipe dream in regards to Depeche but you never know with New Order, I don't think anyone can predict Mr Sumners behaviour. Hooky and the light may be an option but he seems to not want to play the big New Order hits anymore and I would not want to listen to Joy Division stuff at a festival.

Hurts would be good, but they did not play last year when they were touring and had an album out so they would be doubtful this year.

I don't hold out much hope for the V fest line up being too great for my tastes this year but I will look on it positively and take the opportunity to give acts a listen to that I would not normally bother with.

Complete guesswork:

Coldplay or Jay Z

Chase and Status

Lilly Allen

Justin Timberlake

Elbow

Ed Sheeran

[Anthonym93]

Id take that.

As long as The Prodigy are on the "MTV" stage when JT is headlining.

FUCKING YES PLEASE. God damn. Althought that would require me to barely move from the V stage all weekend so maybe not.

The Mrs Carter Show 2014 already looks a damn sight better, got in there a year too early I think V.

[daniel.k]

Wonder if Beyonce would do T this year or take a year off. Can't see her doing anywhere else.

That would be a good line up but I don't see V having elbow if they are going for a new vibe

[sisco]

So every act will be to suit this new vibe then??

[Prat.]

We don't even know if V are giving themselves a more refined genre yet. And even if they did it's unlikely the whole festival would strictly subscribe to it. R&L is a rock festival but still has dance and chav music stages, for example.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Coldplay...??? They're playing this weird iTunes Festival spin-off in the US in a few weeks time. Had thought they'd be taking another year off touring given we've heard little about a new album but if they're playing gigs, and high-profile ones usually reserved for bands with something to push at that, then surely they're a possibility? They haven't played since 2003 for god's sake, they've done their best three albums since then, it has to happen sooner or later!!! Though then again personally I'd rather they wait until next year and do X&Y in full for the tenth anniversary..

Just randomly rewatching the 2012 Closing Ceremony and fuck me they're a good live band.

[thetime]

I can see editors popping up as they did reading last year and are still touring.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Is this finally the right time for them to step up to headlining status though? Because I can't see them subbing to the likes of Gaga or Timberlake. Coldplay though possibly.

Oh was you just chatting about headliners? I would imagine they would play half way down the bill.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

not really

aren't they a bit too ego-centric to get a shit slot at an allegedly shit festival or is that someone else? fuck i'm tired

Not really as they played about 5th at reading last year.
