I'd love to see the Manics and Eminem play a festival date together, they are both some of my favourite artists! I've always wanted to see Em live! It'd be great!

I did in 2001. Manics were better. I had never heard of Motown Junk.

The Gutless Wonder · #36 01-03-2011, 07:34

I'll be extremely tempted by this, especially when I hear my work colleagues wittering away about it! The Script and Olly Murs though! Ugh!

Didn't see much of Eminem because I went to see Hefner. Iamindietotheverycore.

I hope so too. I was tempted by Eminem but Plan B under Arctic Monkeys sounds too good to turn down so I might have to go for a Sunday ticket.

I've seen bad festival lineups, god knows I've seen some shit fests, but let me say that is the single worst lineup I have ever seen collected on a mainstream festival bill. It's V so maybe to be expected to an extent, but they've surpassed themselves shite wise this year.

Dancing Kirby · #41 01-03-2011, 11:41

It doesn't seem that bad when you consider what V is. Eminem and Rihanna will be huge draws (I do hope the Manics go up against Arctic Monkeys). Pendulum and Dizzee Rascal have an uncanny talent for making morons go crazy and I'm sure Tinie Tempah will add himself to that category this summer.

Then you've got old crowd pleasers like Duran Duran, Primal Scream, Squeeze and Kaiser Chiefs (and I suppose the Manics).

And, oh my god, they've got Jessie J.

I could think of worse festivals to attend.

Loz · #42 01-03-2011, 11:44

I think the line-up is great so far. Lots of bands that I would watch so it's worth the ticket price already for me. If the manics are on at the same time as Arctic Monkeys then I would watch the latter so I hope that doesn't happen as I'd like to be able to watch both.

UEF · #43 01-03-2011, 12:24

Bloody hell, they've done well this year (for V)

I'd go and see almost all of the top acts. Hope they DON'T clash with Arctic Monkeys

Bathtub · #44 01-03-2011, 12:28

Each to their own I guess.

Eminem is nothing special live. When I saw him I'd say that he was only on stage doing anything for about 1/2 of his set.

UEF · #45 01-03-2011, 12:28

Seriously tempted, even if V is somewhere that Essex lads and London daytrippers go to so they can say they've been to a festival.
