No one is invested enough in the V festival to care, and those that do go every year are likely to be more or less okay with the lineup. It's been pretty much a pop festival for years now. You'd have to be a particularly antidleluvian kind of dullard to get angry about it especially when Reading and numerous other bland Home Counties festivals already exist.

Couple of weeks back my teenage nephew told me that no-one goes to T in the Park for the bands, just the Slam tent.

Is this good? It's gotta be better than Kasabian etc surely.

aye, not all my cup of tea but some top notch stuff for an epic swedge fest nonetheless
― Cornelius Pardew (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 25 February 2016 21:52 (eight years ago) link
a lot of festivals esp of an indie persuasion have the effect of assimilating even acts I like into a general soup of mediocrity when you're looking at the bill. the Slam tent does the inverse and makes me think I'd have a great time watching ppl I don't really care about (like Slam)

That's pretty much a flat-pack assembly festival dance lineup, you'll be able to see most of that lot at virtually any festival this summer. I'm pretty sure I read the phrase 'Jackmaster b2b Joy Orbison' more than I do 'Hello' in 2016.
― Matt DC, Friday, 26 February 2016 16:41 (eight years ago) link
Obviously it's better than virtually anything on the main stages and I'm sure it'll do the job just fine, but there's nothing exciting or unique about it.

Is that a 90s-themed festival? Most of the acts seem to be 90s (with a few 80s) has-beens.

likewise.a lot more interestging than most of the uk festivals (if not all of the wones i have seen).

Moderat being billed higher than Blink 182 is pretty o_0 or do they play like arenas in that area of the world?

Agree that if that festival was going on in the UK it would be fairy refreshing
The best UK lineup I've seen so far (by far) is Safe As Milk, but it's £150 a ticket

Things you were shockingly old to find out: Erasure are still together and performing! Had no idea.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:27 (seven years ago) link
was thinking the other day about how dull all of the mid-sized British festivals (and a lot of the smaller ones as well) look this year, everything boring 6Music-friendly schmindy with some half-decent dance music thrown in if you're lucky. Is it more homogeneous than in the past? Is it something to do with lack of Glastonbury this year meaning things will sell even if very dull?
― Neil S, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 14:36 (seven years ago) link
glastonbury is happening this year .. its next year they are taking a break.

There are three kinds of UK festival - Super-commercial one-dayers headlined by Bastille - Hippie ska drug-fests headlined by Gentleman's Dub Club - Posho adult-oriented camp-outs set in the beautifully rainy Cotswolds headlined by Joanna Newsom
