probably makes the Pigeons and Seasick Steve very likely for V, as well as Sophie-Ellis Bextor, Lucy Spraggan, Shed Seven and Naughty Boy but we were expecting them anyway I think? Dizzee is a possible too although less likely than those. nobody else you'd expect to be at V really.

Bloody hell. How cheap is that!!! Not bad for Dizzee and the Pigeon detectives

[Rose-Colored Boy]

How come these acts are likely for V...?

That other festival is the weekend after V, so acts playing that are a little more likey to play V aswell as they will be doing festivals around V time. Also, some of the ones mentioned by Zac are doing T as well, T and V usually share a fair few acts

It's the same weekend as R&L so the acts at that fest are a lot less likely to be at R&L and therefore a lot more likely to be at V. Particularly the ones playing this fest on the Saturday, those playing on the Sunday could still do Reading Friday/Leeds Saturday.

I think Naughty Boy is almost a definite for V.

Unforuntately

Yeah great value!!! I'd happily pay £15 just for Beans on Toast alone to be fair.

The ones playing the Saturday can also do Sunday Reading/Friday Leeds. It doesn't rule anybody out.

Sorry, misread last year's poster.

It still gives us an idea of who's around though

[Pothuthic]

Will do a final prediction soon

[Pothuthic]

I reckon tomorrow we will get;

Justin Timberlake Coldplay/Kasabian

Ed Sheeran Elbow

Also Featuring;

David Guetta, Bastille, Rudimental, Chic feat. Nile Rodgers, Kaiser Chiefs, Lily Allen, Will.i.am, Fatboy Slim, Madness, Ellie Goulding, Feeder, Cast, Gomez, Miles Kane, Noah and the Whale, Paloma Faith, Shed Seven, The Human League, One Republic, Chas N Dave, A Great Big World, Naughty Boy, Robyn, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Katy B, Sam Smith, Lorde, John Nemwan

Probably some more Indie bands, but I'm not too good with naming Indie bands so I can't say for sure, obviously I highly doubt I'll be spot on with my predictions, but I think I could be close enough

If we are taking V's hints on stuff;

Nile Rodgers - Self Explanitory

Headress - Kaiser Chiefs?

Eat sleep - Fatboy Slim

Team - Lorde

Feel The Love - Rudimental

Yeah, I think i'd generally be happy if that was announced tomorrow. I always say I need atleast 10 acts I would see (£200 roughly / 10 = about £20 each act).

[Rose-Colored Boy]

They didn't officially tell us who was subbing last year!! They gave us four names for each day in the day ticket listings on ticketmaster (who turned out to be the top three on main and the headliner on 4Music) but we only officially knew the subs when the day and stage splits came out.

Although I do hope it's different this time, just dont get your hopes up folks

We'd pretty much guessed it anyway last year

Can't help it that I'm so smart

I do remember some people saying it would be the top 2 for each day, but me and a few others thought right with the top 3 and 2nd stage headliner.

It was quite obvious to work out I recall. It was something like this:

Saturday

BEYONCE
THE SCRIPT
JESSIE J
BEADY EYE

Sunday

KINGS OF LEON
STEREOPHONICS

EMILE SANDE
CALVIN HARRIS

Yeah it was, with a big group of acts under both days. I think it will be a similar format again this year. Cant see them releasing day or stage splits yet, and defo cant see them releasing stage times until the event on the lanyards again

Does anyone know how wireless release their times, do they make them public like IOW and Glasto or do what V do and only have the lanyard that you have to buy

I don't think it was in those orders, though I could be wrong. And if you look there could have been a whole range of combinations for who was headlining 4Music opposite others. Emeli Sande vs Kings of Leon or Beyonce vs The Script would both have been more than plausible, for example. We only really 'knew' when Beady Eye confirmed themselves as 4Music headliners in an interview. We'll see tomorrow though eh!!!

I personally think it is outrageous they don't give full day splits - people want to know what they are getting.

The stage splits wont be until later the Summer. But the times wont be announced until you pay £10 for the programme as you correctly said - same system for the last 3 I have been too.

I feel there's more suspense now that we have no clue who any of them are other than a few

£5 for the programme isnt it? I cant remember I try not to think about being robbed. But once I got my lanyard I did my best to update my clashfinder for the people that looked at it

I guess its how announcements are meant to be

[Pothuthic]

I wish they'd do a radio show with the reveal, would be much more interesting than just it being posted at 8

You wish... £10 is the grand price, and I am sure they are looking to increase it at some point.

Thats great - did you do it from your phone at the festival? As usual I never get any signal at these things - hence losing the brother during the Indie Disco and not finding him again until the end of the night!

Which radio station though. Radio1 wouldnt do it, and MTV dont have a radio station. Could run an advert on MTV but I dont have MTV so that wouldnt work for me. Im okay with the picture at 8 setup, but I would also like the staggered line up like other fests do with a few acts every so often. I cant decide which I like more though

[Anthonym93]

They use to do it on Absolute Radio - which use to be Virgin Radio. (Or did it for 2010 anyway).

But not any more!

Oh well £10 it is then

Yeah I used my phone, I bought an external battery which I charged my phone up on every night which was useful. I was surprised that I got signal there tbh, but it was good that I did. At most 11,000 people looked at my clashfinder a couple of days before V, so they may not have got the finished version but a fair few did. I saw someone there with a clashfinder from the site, it could have been mine or the other one which appeared over V weekend, but either way it was good seeing someone using one instead of paying for a lanyard, V dont need that extra money

[luckysalt]

I'll see if I can get any info early tomorrow, but I can tell you now 100% its NOT Kasabian.

Ahh that would work well, I listened to the T in the park line up announcement on Radio 1

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah someone on clashfinder made an accurate one the day before V weekend, must have had early access and/or insider info. Although of course it wasn't totally accurate because James Arthur dropped out on the Friday which fucked up a whole day of timings on 4Music

I'll see if I can get any info early tomorrow, but I can tell you now 100% its NOT Kasabian.

You're my hero. Sleeping easy tonight.
