V Festival - JDB

[guntrip]

"Apparently" he is playing this year, according to someone I was conversing with on the Drowned In Sound boards who has an advance of the press release.

Official announcement on lineup to follow at 5:30pm, according to Virtual Festivals.

[relic]

I was musing about this with Ade last night, wondering if James would do a small stage set at a festival.

[Bambi]

*prepares for happy deluge of 'I'M GOOOOOIIIIINGGGG!" posts* :D

[Zinedine_Kilbane]

Oh, I'd love it if he came to Oxegen, I would go fucking mental.

[Littlesue]

Fantastic!!! all excited now, I wondered if he would be doing anything like this

[Persephone]

*crosses fingers*

[looke]

hmmm

[Zinedine_Kilbane]

Where is the V fest by the way? And who's playing?

[Charlie Spotted]

V Festival is held at Weston Park, nr. Stafford, Staffordshire and Hylands Park, Chelmsford, Essex.

http://www.vfestival.com/

[Littlesue]

Weston Park is virtually on my doorstep so crosses fingers

[guntrip]

Where is the V fest by the way? And who's playing?

Nobody yes, as I said originally Virtual Festivals are saying that an announcement re: lineup will happen around 5:30pm today. Tickets go on sale on Friday morning so there's bound to be an annoucement sometime this week.

[Nicola17]

Hmm, I could be tempted if this is true, as long as I can persuade some of my friends to go with me. Would anyone else be going to Chelmsford?

[amaranth]

Weston Park is virtually on my doorstep so crosses fingers

Yeah it's pretty close to me back home, I think we're already decided on going, but it would be even better if JDB was there :D

First announcement of line-up is due today at 5pm, according to Virgin radio.

[Manic Matt]

I may be going. This is good news.

[girl_afraid]

apparently it is true.yey!x

[nic]

It's not until August so i might be able to save up to go if James is playing.

[adore failure]

I would absolutely love to go but I won't be able to get tickets probably *sob sob*

[amaranth]

Just announced: Radiohead, Morrissey, Kasabian, Keane, Ordinary Boys, Beautiful South, Magic Numbers, Faithless, Paul Weller. And probably more that I can't recall off the top of my head!

Ah, here we go: http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/060227b.shtml

[ZiZi]

OOoh, exciting news!

[Littlesue]

do they all do both gigs and just swap the days??

[adore failure]

:up: after looking at that article, now I really really really really want to go

[adore failure]

do they all do both gigs and just swap the days??
yep

[Littlesue]

Can't afford both days, do they announce which days they do before the tickets go on sale?

[adore failure]

Thank you, you are very helpful!!big cream egg for you :P

[RA-D]

i booked my ticket this morning, I hope he doesn't clash with Radiohead but the lineup's quite disappointing apart from that (to me).

[Manic Matt]

I doubt he will. I imagine James will be a fair bit earlier on.

[Amanda]

I really do wish I could be more excited but why does he have to go and do festivals - its like £110 for day tickets before you even think about postage and booking fees and theres the risk of sunburn (I'm possibly still just sulking about the lack of Nicky-ness so please ignore me) But could we not just have a non festival based thing and save about £40 a night?

[RA-D]

I doubt he will. I imagine James will be a fair bit earlier on.


I don't expect he'll be on either of the main stages though, a high spot in a 'tent' (JJB arena) is more likely though. He's down as confirmed now on efestivals' listings.

[Nicola17]

Right, have just sent e-mails to all my friends begging someone to go with me.

[nic]

Is it easy enough to get to by train?

[Takk]

I hope he doesn't clash with Radiohead

:lol:

[Amanda]

Is it easy enough to get to by train?

Chelmsford pretty simple as its only about half an hour out of London, and then theres a bus to the festival site - as long as you're ok travelling in the day its fine.

Stafford is pretty simple as well as most trains go through there, or so it seems - it probably depends where you coming from etc how simple either is - the only problem is getting between the two overnight/on sunday morning can be tricky as almost every journey on sunday gets ruined by rail replacement bus services or so it seems these days. Bad memories of that from 2002.

I think you can get cheap trains with your ticket as well goes its virgin, but then you'd be on virgin trains which is always a worry.

I'm sure either should be fine though.

To whoever said they got tickets the other day - how, where? as the webiste says they don't go on sale till friday - although I don't suppose its much help without knowing which day he's playing.

[Cam]

Manchester is too far away :surprise:

[Zinedine_Kilbane]

People on the Oxegen forum are saying he'll be playing there too- fantastic news if true!

(i was never here, OK!)

ring 087 0143 2203 for the presale line, i don't know if there'll be any left. It says you need a registered Virgin mobile number but they don't actually ask for it (i bought a £1.50 sim on ebay just in case)

[Takk]

I suspect if he's playing festivals then his album is likely to come out too, and maybe he'll tour at the same time?

[TheSilentMan]

Does he have a touring band, or is it just gonna be him with an acoustic guitar or summat?

[MSPKYE]

In other news ticketmaster have started selling tickets for the One Earth Concert again listing on New Years Eve!!

Thank you - I guess its not much help for me as I think I only want day tickets to which day I don't know, can you get day tickets from them too if I can work out which day? I'm sure either way someone will find it very useful though :)

[RA-D]

i'm sorry, i have no idea. NME is reporting that Radiohead are doing Sunday Weston Park and Morrisey is doing Saturday. Beck will be doing Sunday and Kasabian will be too by that logic, I suspect Keane will be Saturday.

Obviously, reverse those for the southern event.

No idea when JDB'll be playing though if that's all you wanted.

[Amanda]

Hmm, I guess if it was it'd say on the one earth website - I am far more likely to trust that than ticketmaster - who sent me maps of the venue the week the gig was supposed to be and reminded me not to forget to go, despite the fact it had been cancelled for weeks! I hope it isn't that long though thats forever to wait and its been far too long already anyway.

thats ok, I just hope they decide before they go on general sale as they don't always with things much lower down the bill - I guess time will tell though.

Thanks for the help though!

[Nicola17]

I hope it isn't that long though thats forever to wait and its been far too long already anyway.

I'm hoping it is at new years, because it a.) gives me time to convince someone to come with me b.) gives me time to save up the money so I can actually buy a ticket and c.) my new years are always rubbish, I like to think I deserve a good one and how better than by seeing the Manics?

[regan]

Looks great JDB, Radiohead and Morrisey in 1 weekend. Perfect.

[Generation Terrorist]

:mrgreen: James has got a gig.

It sounds like the festival's going to be pretty good - Morrissey, JDB and Radiohead.

Now...to convince others to go.

[go_buzz_baby]

I think i must just be old and grumpey thers no one else im excited about seeing but i'll go to see james, only i dont know which day hes playing so i cant buy tickets and it will probbley all sell out befor i know what day and i dont like v as i dont like virgin cola and thats all you drink there (in my head) i a nicky solo tour
huff

[JDB]

I won't be going to any gigs for at least the next 12 months

[TheSilentMan]

Yeah and i hope he doesn't play a single manics song.


Hang on, jdb at v...could this mean the return of Massey? :D

Indeed you are being grumpy.

Paul Weller, Radiohead, Morrissey, beautiful south...you're spoilt for choice!

[sfa]

if he only plays one manics track, i hope its a b-side or something, like donkeys or sculpture of man. none of the manics hits though

[Radiomanic]

yeah well i wanna see new songs. I could'nt give a fuck about manics songs as i'd go and watch the manics for that.

[adore failure]

I imagine James will play a couple of Manics songs like Little Baby Nothing and Small Black Flowers acoustically on his own. I wouldn't expect him to play any rarities although how cool would it be to hear him play Donkeys!?!:)

[go_buzz_baby]

Indeed you are being grumpy.

Paul Weller, Radiohead, Morrissey, beautiful south...you're spoilt for choice!

im scared of morrissey i say him at glastonbury but he looks like my granpa but about 10 years ago so i couldnt really take him sierousley as i was convinced it was my granpa

[adore failure]

on http://www.vfestival.com/lineup.html they haven't said which day or which stage James will be playing... I'm guessing this will be comfirmed shortly

[Radiomanic]

When you have people like Paul Weller playing, he may as not even bother turning up!

[sparklytiara]

If Morrissey and JDB play on the same day I would just *have* to go!

[al]

Hooray we'd planned to go anyway. am anxious about tickets though - i can save 25% if I order through my bank but am quite tempted by presale to avoid Friday morning panic attack :scared:

Hey Lynn maybe we can get to say hello at last!

[Nobody]

awesome! though i probably won't be going, hopefully they'll show some of it on tv... and also hopefully James will be playing some other gigs!!

[Col]

I'm sure James would do a few warm up gigs before hand, maybe one in Cardiff or even Blackwood at the Miners, or one closer to the V sites.

[Manic Matt]

I'm anticipating a full UK tour!

[adore failure]

I'm anticipating a full UK tour!
I wonder how many dates he'll do. as I live in the middle of nowhere I doubt he'll come anywhere near me :(

[Miss Oceania]

That is a pretty stonking lineup so far! And to add JDB on top of that (and Massey as well, I'm picking!) I think I will DEFINITELY be going this year. And now that I am living in east London and am rediculously close to Chelmsford I really have no excuse not to go! :D

[Radiomanic]

Best thing that could happen:



1) James plays V saturday

2) Thom Yorke passes the stage where James is playing

3) Thom stops and watches

4) Yorkie goes "Wow, he's amazing! lets take him on tour!"

5) James tours with Radiohead. The fans like him.

6) James becomes massive.

7) James recruits new members Nicholas Jones and Sean Moore for his backup band.

8) You know what's coming next!

Interesting theory..........

[Manic_Paul]

did someone say paul weller and james dean bradfield and morrissey at the same festival?

i'm going!

[manic cow]

is anyone else having probs actually getting through? i'm phoning from my virgin mobile (i'm not a cheater like the rest of you :P ) and as soon as it says they're gonna put me on hold it just cuts me off.


if they've sold out of presale tix they could at least change the message and stop confusing me.

[UEF]

Thank fuck I bought my ticket this morning :) AMAZING :D

You guys know the presale number thats selling tickets NOW, right? :mrgreen: :good:

[Amanda]

Ok Sam, you don't drink Virgin cola as I've been there in 99 and 2002 and I never once had any cola, also we wont be drinking at all as otherwise we'd need the loo and instead we just have to stand around waiting - actually looking on the bright side - he'll probably play middle of the afternoon so we'll only have to hang around half the day and then we can sit in a field and not drink cola and eat chips of something.

Also I don't think day tickets sell out as fast - although I'm still concerned it might be a long time till we know which day he's playing as sometimes they only split the major acts initially to incentivize day ticket people - is he classed as a major act? I dunno.

I thought of something else you can worry about though- what if we get tickets for both the James days and then Nicky announces he's playing the other one! this will not happen though as he couldn't sing a whole set and hates festivals and it just wont.

I hope James wont play manics songs it would be a bit cheesy and cabaret.

BUT I still appear to be the only person more concerned about the fact the one earth thing might not be till new year!!!! Nice as James is thats the manics and therefore FAR more important in my world. I was hoping for a summer thing :rolleyes:

[UEF]

Just looked at my ticketmaster account, OneEarth is now definitely up for 31st Dec, a year after I ordered no less :D

[A boy called Rita]

I'd love to go and see him, but there is no way I can afford it :(

[Zinedine_Kilbane]

So they're playing the Millenium Stadium on New Years Eve? That'll be poignant for the lads.

[anhedonia]

Just looked at my ticketmaster account, OneEarth is now definitely up for 31st Dec, a year after I ordered no less :D

Are there any tickets left?

People on the Oxegen forum are saying he'll be playing there too- fantastic news if true!

hope to god the rumours are right, as he'll be playing T in the Park too. :D

[Radiomanic]

If i were james i'd do Isle of Wight. Just cos he seemed impressed with it the last time going by the interview with Ben Jones.

Nuff pubs there too!

im sure they secreatley make you drink virgin cola or something i dont trust them

oh yes and i read it was new years eve then forgot to say anything - that meens there will be no where to stay and it will be super cold and lots of drunk people and i hate new years eve, this year was my favroit actually just doing nicky related craft and no where to park and the presenters on the stage will be doing all the Woo happy new year thing and we wont get to wear pretty summer dresses and its forever away i wanted it end of may time really

oh and now i have nicky fear which meens i'd have to buy the other day tickets so about £250 for 2 fictional nicky gigs and to miss his pie eating friend
im going to sulk today

[L'il Miss Culture Slut]

I really want to go, unfortunately everyone i know is skint. May have to resort to drastic measures and buy my sis a ticket as a birthday present

[Amanda]

line up (http://www.vfestival.com/lineup.html)

It would appear James isn't important enough to be in the initial splitting of the bill - maybe they'll split it some more before the tickets go on sale generally

[L'il Miss Culture Slut]

To be fair, although he's an established act - he's known as the singer of the manics. As a solo artist, there is no evidence that he'd be a crowd puller. Hence the tiny mention on the bill

[Manic Steve Preacher]

In all fairness I'm going to save my cash for any JDB tour that happens. I'd rather see him close up than sat at the back to watch him do few songs! Come on JDB, small venue tour!! :twisted:

Steve ;)

The solution is to get there early and get to the front- then you get to watch any other decent bands on that day. :)

[Manic Steve Preacher]

I see your point UEF, if you have the commitment you can get to the front.

Maybe just me but can't say i'm too fussed by any of the other acts, and £60 or £110 is a bit steep just for to JDB, its me just being an old fart i guess :X

[Ken]

We were going to go the V festival anyway, so this is a nice bonus! I don't think I will queue, as I'm a crap fan, and want to spend time with my husband and friends (not to bnot that I dont consider the lovely people I'vemet in the queues before, but you get what I mean) while I'm there. It may better for people wanting the be down the front, if he was on early on one of the larger stages, rater than late in a small tent. all though the smaller stages are normally better, you would get to see a bit more for your money that way, and have a real day out or weekend away. :X

[WILKA]

Booked my tickets this morning! Radiohead would have been enough on their own but the rest of the line up looks good as well.

James playing is a bonus!

[Dancing Kirby]

[Tim]

The lineup is on Planet Sound but they don't mention James, which is odd because they're always good with Manics news.

[Amanda]

nope, and god bless the official site for being useful sometimes :D In fact after this and presenting us with Nickys christmas gift to world its not so bad at all!

I'm working on Friday morning, but I'll do my damnedest to get tickets. I wonder if he's headlining the Channel 4 stage? That would be good.

[Gusto]

It's on the official site news page :D


Good old manics.co.uk "Yesterdays News Today" :D

[Charlie Spotted]

Well yeah, except they're the only place to post the *day* that he's playing. That makes it today's news. :D

[Spring Snow]

it's on the offiical forum news though isn't it?

edit: - ignore that - just realised it *is* the official forum you're talking about anyway. d'oh.

[adore failure]

James has made the second stage! (the Channel Four stage) That's pretty good - he should get a decent crowd there no matter how early he'll be on.

[Karen Anna]

Um,I think I'm probably going.My parents are on the verge of killing me for even suggesting that I go with Billy and camp,but fucksake,I have a full-time job and pay them rent.They can get to fuck.

[BradfieldsLoveChild]

Good old manics.co.uk "Yesterdays News Today" :D

:lol: Spot on! That should be their strap line.

It comes to something when you can find out more about what James is upto on a Super Furry Animals site than you can on the official Manics one. :P

[Louise Mitch]

Just booked mine and nic's tickets through the Virgin phone no. given by Virgin radio for people with Virgin phones but they never asked my phone no to confirm i had a Virgin phone so it think anyone could book a ticket through it. This is the no. if anyone wants to try;08701432203
I think the weekend tickets have sold out but i managed to get a day ticket for the 19th at Stafford. Yey, can't wait, all i need now is for him to do the IOW fest, i already have tickets for that festival.

[Littlesue]

Just rung the above number but they asked me for my Virgin Mobile no which I have'nt got, we have to wait till Friday

the tickets aren't on sale yet,how could they be sold out? :confused:

[Littlesue]

when I phoned just now it said that just the Chelmsford weekend ticket had sold out, I suppose a lot of people have Virgin phones or borrow friends phones to get in early

[Charlie Spotted]

the tickets aren't on sale yet,how could they be sold out? :confused:

I wouldn't worry, this will almost certainly mean they're sold out of Virgin Mobile's pre-sale allocation, not the whole thing.

[Louise Mitch]

Yes, that is correct. They said that tickets will be on sale on Friday, so don't worry. :good:

[manic cow]

got tickets through the presale. radiohead and the mozfather are enough for me.

but i'll go and show my support for james, obviously.


to everyone who is saying james is the only good thing on - what sort of music do you listen to if there is nothing else there you like?!


i'm not a huge fan of faithless or paul weller but i'll go and watch them anyway. and i'll probably come out liking them both. hopefully you lot will do the same and not just mope about after james vanishes! :p

[UEF]

Aye - anyone who would go just for James or even the manics would do well to broaden their horizons a little bit and stay for the weekend :)

I agree, i wasn't a fan of Faithless until i saw them at the IOW fest last year. They were amazing.

[Ken]

Got staffs tickets through the presale yesterday. Soooooo glad I don't have to go through all of the stress again on friday of trying to get any tickets. Normally at festivals end up going round all the smaller stages to see bands, and sometimes ones on the main stage earlier on. Then, when the headline bands are playin I just have a wnder round soaking up the atmosphere. This line up is amazing though! I with Louise about Faithless. I wasn't bothered about them untill I saw them at T in the Park a few years back and they were awsome! Im dead excited now, and have started looking at new tents and considering different hats:cool:

[go_buzz_baby]

Im not sure what’s happened to me though its mostly the line-up that’s been announced that I don’t like and part of it is because im either scared of the bands or i've seen them before and they were dull, or partly its just me illogical fear of something (like virgin cola its not right you know im not happy about going)

And I also seem to have got old and grumpy some when between dec 04 and april 05 I use to love going to festivals I went to 3 in 2004 and at least 2 a year between 98 and 2003

And I do like lots of music, but mostly is old punk stuff and 90’s Britpop I also like manics related bands – the glc, super furrys, rilo kiley (although I don’t feel the need
to see rush or whitesnake ever)

although I have recently only been listing to my nicky wire sings cd (ie BOTBKN, watsvil blues, dying breads and IKTZG) yes I know I cant spell and yes I know its not normal

RADIOHEAD – weren’t very exciting last time I saw them
MORRISSEY - I loved Morrissey but he looks like my grandpa – very scary to see your grandpa on stage singing Morrissey songs
FAITHLESS –wasn’t over keen but only saw half there set,
Beck, - oh I liked beck before! didn’t realise he was playing will go see him if I can
Kasabian, - reminds me of a not so good primal scream
Paul Weller, - pictures of him scare me now does he still play jam songs? I liked the jam
Keane,- don’t really enjoy before
Bloc Party, - nooo
Fatboy Slim, -scared of him but I like zoe ball
Groove Armada, - scared again
The Charlatans, - were dull at IOW
The Magic Numbers, - scared
Editors, - no
The Ordinary Boys, - my sister loves them music’s ok, but didn’t like Preston in big brother
Starsailor, - no nonnonononono (really didn’t enjoy before)
James Dean Bradfield, yay
The Go! Team, scared of them too
Sugababes, -no
Orson & The Feeling –never heard of them

[amaranth]

Apparantly JDB is playing on the Morrissey day.
Got that from the efests forum, not sure how accurate it is.

[Cam]

It's been confirmed that James Dean Bradfield will play the V2006 Festival, on the Channel 4 stage, as below:

19th August: Stafford Weston Park
20th August: Chelmsford Hylands Park

Yup, it's the Moz Day

[amaranth]

Any news on whether he'll be playing with any kind of backing band yet, or just him? I've not heard anything...

[al]

I just got weekend tickets for stafford through the presale as well and they didn't ask for a number. According to my husband the law lecturer they can't actually legally restrict the sale to virgin customers, something about restraint of trade or something technical.

who cares - i don't have to panic on Friday morning :D :D :D
thank you soooo much for the link and advice folks!

[Littlesue]

Booked mine tonight as well, nearly £80 with all the extra's on, Thank God for credit cards!!! :mrgreen:

god that's a lot for a day isn't it - it was only about 40 more for the weekend.

look forward to bumping into you and actually saying hello this time!!!

I'm VERY excited because Rufus is playing too now, but I'm also worried in case he's on at the same time as James - I suspect they're both likely to play the same stage though sizewise. I'm also worrie d in case the virgin mobile police find out I'm not really a customer and cancel my tickets. :scared: neurotic? moi?

[Littlesue]

I've just heard that Hard Fi have now been added but not sure which day

Oow, I don't suppose you'd happen to know but he's not playing James' day is he? that would potentially be nice (unless it was earlier on another stage or something) Knowing my luck it will be though - or the other day

[UEF]

JDB confirmed for the morrisey day - playing the channel 4 stage late afternoon

[malcyc]

PLEASE PLAY T IN THE PARK JAMES

you know you like it!

[sparklytiara]

JDB confirmed for the morrisey day - playing the channel 4 stage late afternoon

That means I am going to find it hard to talk myself out of spending the money argh! But its good news too!

[Radiomanic]

Any news on whether he'll be playing with any kind of backing band yet, or just him? I've not heard anything...


Well my mate who heard about the album originally reckoned he had a backing band sorted out months ago including Massey, but he could've just been having me on.

Any backing band must feature Massey, it is the law! Hope Naysmith joins in as well.

[Takk]

I really hope he doesn't have Massey/Naysmith, it would be nice to see him with a completely new band.

[burnleybassman]

Great that theres some developement on the James solo front! I haven't decided whether I am going to get a day ticket for Stafford yet.

I was listening to it today, but I would really love it if he played the song 'Lopez' that the Manics did with 808 State. But it all depends on what direction he is going in, and whether he will be playing solo acoustic or with a band. I just think its a beautiful song and would sound nice live.

The propellerheads remix is the best version tho. That'd sound ace live!

massey is pretty new.


Imagine it was Richey!

[dimerocks]

oh james is the only thing that would get me to oxegen at this stage. the line up is piss poor!

[BloodFlowerBill]

Morrissey, Radiohead and JDB, ok I'm tempted..

[burnleybassman]

The propellerheads remix is the best version tho. That'd sound ace live!

Oh I've never heard this mix before. Does anyone have an mp3 of it they would care to share? :good:

[Jennie Wren]

It is tempting but can't get there ..

[Lucyloo]

Well, I fought against it and tried to talk myself out of it but it was no use...I'M GOING! Gonna get day tickets for the Staffs 19th date - either gonna risk it for tomorrow am or try and pretend to be a Virgin customer tonight...

YAY, can't wait already!! :cool:

[neon girl]

Have just been on V website and all the groups/artists at the bottom of the page are in blue with a link to details about them and apart from JDB'S name anyone know the reason for this?? Is he definitely playing on both days?

[Zinedine_Kilbane]

So when and where is this v thing on? What with it being the best lineup ever and all. What's the story with tickets?

[al]

Oow, I don't suppose you'd happen to know but he's not playing James' day is he? that would potentially be nice (unless it was earlier on another stage or something) Knowing my luck it will be though - or the other day

there's conflicting evidence on the rufus website at the moment and efestivals has unknown day - I'll keep you posted if I find anything out.

[Takk]

Looks like razorlight just got added to the lineup!

[adore failure]

yes he is definitely appearing both days on the Channel 4 stage. a reason for having no details about him is could be because he hasn't got an official website (except for manics.co.uk)

[Radiomanic]

Oh I've never heard this mix before. Does anyone have an mp3 of it they would care to share? :good:


I have it, but i dunno if that counts as commercial release as it's on the single.

[Furbag]

I have it, but i dunno if that counts as commercial release as it's on the single.
I'm sure its alright mate, its a obscure remix of an obscure single by an obscure band that you can't get first hand.

[anhedonia]

I kinda wanna get a ticket, but im tempted to give it a miss and hope JDB plays at Reading instead...JDB and Morrissey are the only two i would really want to see at 'V' anyway, whereas Pearl Jam and Tool are meant to be at Reading this year- both bands ive never seen and wanted to see for years. Damn. Really cant afford to go to both.

[Manicben]

Looks like im going now,yay get to see James

artists don't normally play both - I seem to remember a discussion on the board last year about some kind of exclusion contract? can't you just get a day ticket for V - still pretty pricey mind. :rolleyes:

[everlasting]

Me and my girlfriend really want to go, especially since we read JAmes was playing, but we've looked at coches and they're so crap. We have no way of getting there or back really. Why are festivals in such crap out of the way places?? :(

[Takk]

Well, isn't that usually for big name acts, I don't know if James would qualify?

Certainly the headliners and big bands would probably have exclusivity, but little bands can often play lots of headliners.

Personally I think I'll just wait until he tours rather than shell out for a festival ticket ;).

[Nicola17]

Aargh, the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet, but seetickets has already crashed.

[Amanda]

Aargh, the tickets haven't even gone on sale yet, but seetickets has already crashed.

Well that was all a bit unduely stressful - thank God its not that hard actually getting manics tickets - I'd have a nervous breakdown, and having to use *spit* ticketmaster as it was the only thing working - its all so unfair! But yay £135 to go see a sweaty man with only two t shirts more clevage than me play six songs twice and if we're really lucky we might get sunburnt too :rolleyes:

[Nicola17]

Ticketmaster's still not working for me - it just keeps telling me it's searching, then giving up. And now it's telling me no tickets are available.

[NiCkThErOcKsTaR]

got mine through the nme (last minute partner) worked strait off, always go for the lesser known sites as demand is too high on seetickets etc, who i hate anyway for using that frickin sms mail which is a pain to revieve :twisted:

[Nicola17]

I tried throught the nme, that didn't work for me either.

Ah well, at least I'm saving £120 - more money for a solo tour. And it's only JDB, not all of the Manics. I'm trying to look on the positive side.

[guntrip]

Yeah, you're right - people at V can't play Reading and vice versa.

19th August: Stafford Weston Park
20th August: Chelmsford Hylands Park

sorry :rolleyes:

[relic]

I booked my tickets, pressed return, and the Seetickets site immediately went down, so I had an hour or so of panic until my confirmation email came through. I had to work this morning, and spent all morning hoping that Staffs day tickets wouldn't sell out too quickly.

So YES, I'm going to Staffordshire on the Saturday. James James James James James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*is a leetle bit overexcited*

[UEF]

All the proper tickets are sold out now (weekend + camping) - I hope no one complains about the sellout as the information on presale has been here for ages :)

I might even buy the early bird tickets on the exit this year depending on how I feel about it.

[amaranth]

I got mine this morning, at about ten past 9 - but my mates didn't get theirs til nearly 10. That was so stressful.
I don't think there's much chance of getting any now...apparantly was all sold out by midday, but the odd person seems to be getting lucky and finding weekend tickets.

[Generation Terrorist]

Totally forgot about it, ah well, until it stops snowing I really don't care.

By the way:
James is listed on the NME ticket-sale as 'James Dean Bradford' - poor guy.

[amaranth]

Apparantly lastminte.ie still have tickets.

*calms down*

I'll be at Stafford just for the Saturday. It is clearly the better line-up of the 2 days. I'm not really a fan of either of the main headliners, but Faithless, Paul Weller and JDB will do nicely for me ;)

See you there! :cool:

I'm at Staffs for the weekend :D

I'll be at Chelmsford on the Sunday :mrgreen:

Chelmsford Friday to Monday - no messing.

Everyone will have to go to the lengths of dressing up in a formal black shirt for this one, and then James will probably turn up on stage in a leopardskin skirt with 'you know' stencilled on in pink, look at the audience and go 'fuck...'.

[Miss Oceania]

I had a Chelmsford day ticket for the Sunday all lined up on my pc this morning, and then I decided to flag it! Have a made a tragic mistake? I figured (after adding it all up - ticket, booking fee and postage) that for the same price I could probably see James at two solo gigs, rather than hanging about for hours paying over the odds for food and drink and getting tired and fractious at V. I figure if I HAVE made a tragic mistake I can get a ticket off e-bay closer to the time.

[UEF]

If your sole motitivation is going there to see a gig with James and lots of support acts, then maybe you should sell it on :mrgreen:

[Furbag]

Chelmsford Friday to Monday - no messing.
And in the spirit of this post -

Stafford - Friday to Monday, first festival - no messing!

I am praying i don't have to choose between Weller and Dean-Bradfield

I very much doubt that will happen, people will shout but i would expect james on the second stage mid afternoon time 3/4/5 area. becasue to be fair unless he has something out by then his crowd is going to be pure manics fans (which there are lesser and lesser of nowdays) :mrgreen:

I wouldn't be so sure - I went to a gig last night with a friend on mine, and a group of guys that I didn't know before the evening, and when I mentioned I was a Manics fan, they all started talking about how JDB was playing V and how they wanted to go and see him and how good the Manics were. Which made me very happy.

the second stage will be packed with loads of people watching! I doubt they will all piss off as soon as James appears and the chances are he'll be sandwiched between two bigger acts

i say absolutly my breadbin! :mrgreen:

I think it will be full of a combination of manicsy, radioheady types with the old timers reliving there past (which seems to happen every year at v anyway... well the oldies)

If it's a mixture between Radiohead and Morrissey fans it should make for a very laid back festival. I reckon Weller will reel in a few fans aswell, he's got quite a fan base.

just out of interest, has anyone's money for their tickets been taken out of their bank account yet?

'cos mine hasn't :surprise:

I saw the Manics for the third time at V2002 in Chelmsford. It was bloody amazing and meeting them at the signing was unbelievable too. Who knows, maybe James'll do the same this time round?

[Lucyloo]

Was just wondering what hotels anyone off here's staying at??

I've booked the Travel Inn at Cannock for the Staff festival weekend (going on the Saturday). Was a bloody nightmare trying to find a free hotel for that weekend, is really booked up already!

they're not too bad really - I used to be a real toilet phobic but the V ones aren't too bad as long as you go to one that's not too near the men's urinals - they really smell. I usally take loo roll and that gel stuff you can put on your hands to clean them, but at V they provide this as well.

There's a lot of litter, I hate that bit, but the whole experience is so brilliant it's worth putting up with ;)

[Gusto]

I missed out on tickets :cry:

A friend of mine who lives in Chelmsford was able to get tickets on Saturday. He got them direct from the Civic Centre.

I finally have the chance to go to anything this year, and yet NOONE will come to V with me. Missing Radiohead and Jamesy! It might as well be an Apocolypse!

Probably end up on the bill for Wireless as well - that's basically the same as V anyway, but for those whose "high flying" city careers won't let them venture outside of the M25 unless it's for a "wine & dine" with clients.

Al, I asked a few weeks ago when they'd arrive, and they said 'before the 7th August'. I guess you need to arrange for your mail to be forwarded from the post office?

[MSPKYE]

Oooh hes on after Delays :D:D I should be going so I'll be at the channel 4 stage most the afternoon then :P

Our Chelmsford ones arrived a week or so ago, but I don't think we've had the Stafford ones yet if thats any help - Sam ordered those though not me so I could be wrong.

Thank you for the link to the line up by the way and he's on the same day as Rufus which is rather cool, and getting to watch the delays beforehand might be a bit weird de ja vu.

i'd planned to do the mail thing but I'm not sure if the tickets will be sent by courier? I ordered via the V mobile site so I'll give them a ring. Fortunately so far we have maintained good relations with our buyer so far!

Ouch. All those bands bar the Charlatans have supported MSP in the past and theyre higher up the bill. That must be feel pretty strange :(

Oh what a pity, I'll have to miss Hard Fi and Weller, what a shame

[relic]

*sobs*

I was afraid of that, Weller was the only other act I wanted to see. Still, if it wasn't for JDB, I wouldn't be a V anyway, so it's not as if it's a difficult choice.

[looke]

Paul weller, James Dean Bradfield and Gomez (fantastic festival band) all on at the same time, I'd be really stuck as to who to watch. i'd probably watch JDB out of long standing loyalty and keep an ear out for 'That's entertainment' floating across the arena.

[burnleybassman]

Thats a bit of a blow. I'm still going to watch all of James' set but really wanted to see Weller and had hopes of catching Gomez as well. :rolleyes:

[MSPKYE]

I'm not sure I'm trusting it, looks very dubiosu and it was on myspaz as well, probably wont know for sure till youre there. If it is true it looks like I'll be infront of the Channel 4 stage all day, not many people on the main stage that I can be bothered with, was hoping to catch Gomez since my mates a big fan and Id promised I'd give them a listen, ah well just hope that timetable is bollocks. Which headliner to watch is still a bit of a pickle though...

[manic cow]

that timetable was done by someone on the efestivals forum. they've based the times on last years times so it might not be exact but it should be pretty close.

rufus v faithless is the worst clash for me. hoping i can see a bit of both, but it depends if i can get in the tent just before rufus comes on!

I wanted to see rufus, Faithless and the Dears so will have to some serious legging it around the site!!!!! Got my tickets about an hour ago though:lol:

[covfan]

Slightly off-topic here but I didn't realise that Lovebites were playing V Festival. Brilliant. :mrgreen:
