2016

[Anthonym93]

Stone Roses & Faithless for one of the nights. 

 

The Prodigy if they are still around?

 

TDCC ruled out as they are at Summer Sonic.

With Kanye's new album, he must be somewhere this summer. Either V, T or R&L I would presume? Kanye and a dance act on second stage, with Roses on the other day doesnt sound too far off the mark

Roses or Noel I'm thinking 

[Gucci Piggy]

Kanye could be Wireless or BST. Or even IOW if he's free. Or Bestival.

[daniel.k]

Kanye did wireless a few years ago, maybe more likely to do somewhere else instead? With Florence and Take That, BST seems more family friendly and less Kanye friendly

[linz832]

Coldplay ruled out, playing in LA on the Saturday. I'm not sure if they were in anyone's thoughts but I thought it was time they played V again, thought this could have been the year but apparently not, I'll settle for seeing them at Wembley instead

Not the best sources in my opinion but it seems Justin Bieber is a definite...

As I say, not my preferable sources with the Mirror and OK, what do you all think?

Not personally my cup of tea either, I'm hoping they'll have a great rock/indie alternative MTV stage headliner. But he's certainly getting success at the moment, which is what V books for. I'd rather Justin Bieber over Kanye West I suppose. 

I'm hoping that V will stick to the more recent tradition of one rock/indie headliner and one dance/pop headliner if they are going to go that way. I like the mix of music tastes but I wouldn't like a whole load of pop/dance acts, and definitely fewer DJs!

Really hoping they might go with the "Foo Fighters debut album is 21 years old this year, let's book them to fit with the 21 theme" but I think I'm dreaming.

What would be really nice is if they got the guessing games over with and just announced early this year!

Yeah you can definitely dream on with Foo Fighters :-). To be honest the other headliner is probably going to be The Killers 

[siweltrebor]

The rumours seem so strong about Bieber i'm pretty sure this will soon be confirmed!

[Jcatley]

V festival first line up is 22nd February. Bieber looking certain to be one of them.

[thetime]

Lets not get over excited hey, bieber might play but he won't headline.

Bieber will headline, I'm hoping they have a good indie headliner on the other day.

He was due to headline a festival with a capacity of 30k less than 6 months ago, it was not even close in selling out.

You really think he will headline a festival with a combined capacity of around 160k?

He broke all the records for number 1s and chart records with his latest album, has gained a lot of new fans. Arguably the biggest male pop star at the moment, very likely to headline.

This is V festival you are talking about! Olly Murs headline the other stage last year and Sam Smith and the script sub so best on that I say justin to headline is a dead cert

[thetime]

Very much not convinced, probably special guest slot.

We will soon see though hey.

[luckysalt]

The only thing which might have Beiber not headline is he doesn't seem to want to do long sets, the birmingham festival he pulled out on im sure he was only doing a 30-40 minute set, but it may have been 60 min, it was defo no longer than that.

[nikkielauran]

Strong rumour for Hylands, but not Western?

[foolee]

Is it not possible that beiber subs Kanye as they're mates and think that'd sell pretty well and both would probably accept. Not sure on the other headliner but could be The Killers again to be fair, maybe The Stone Roses but surely not even V would repeat again. 

[FloorFiller]

Bieber's gonna headline if he plays, no doubt about it. i the rumours are true and they've spent a million on him they aren't then gonna spend another fortune on a headliner to go above him, as well as the other headliner. he's got three albums now, the newest of which has gained him a whole new fanbase and respect as an artist. i see no problem at all with him topping the bill, and it's certainly a whole lot more interesting than whatever band they get for the second day from the Kings of Leon, Killers and Kasabian lottery

[Matt42]

Okay fairplay maybe i'm wrong then

since they are touring - probably the killers as the other headliner

[NickisGinger]

He can headline the Arena stage.. Imagine that chaos.

[dentalplan]

I'll agree with those saying he could perceivably not headline - there do seem to be factors. Or maybe he could be part of a co-headline with Avicii or someone if he's only up for doing an hour?

Dropped in to point out Noel G has announced his first festival date of the summer at A Summer's Tale festival in Germany the weekend before V so the touring machine is up and running around there. More likely than R+L, you'd think.
