V Fest
I hardly care at this point who gets booked. I didn't necessarily care for the bands during the first one and I had a great time. When they expanded it to two days and threw together a lineup of bands that I personally enjoy, I had a great time again. I now have complete faith in the Virgin people that next year will be fantastic based on those two experiences. Any of the bands that have been mentioned would be fine with me.
I also think its hilarious the idea that Daft Punk might not play a dance tent due to the fact that "their pyramid is too big". I am laughing picturing the negotiations breaking down and the Daft Punk guys storming out of the meeting over the size of their pyramid. It all just seems very Spinal Tap-ish. Anyway, I'd love to see them next year too.

The great thing about Daft Punk was that their appearances were rare and therefore special, we're coming close to borderline DP fatigue at this point. Be happy that Portishead is coming back, and add them to your petition for both V Fest and a club gig.

Get the Manic Street Preachers to fly over here to play and I'll blow $$$ on a one day ticket just to see them.

**clearly i have different taste in music than a lot of others on here, but i think that the diversity of the line-up was one of the real strengths of the Virgin Festival and i hope that tradition will continue. (would love to see more reggae, latin, world music flavors - and a few good hip-hop acts as well!)
My requests…
Pearl Jam (if only for the chance of a fan club only warm up show at the club), The Dirtbombs, The Features, The Romantics, Idlewild, Franz Ferdinand, James, The Shazam, Middle Distance Runner, De Novo Dahl, Little Man Tate, The Sugarplastic, Paul McCartney, Everything But The Girl, Jason Falkner, Underworld, Crowded House, Earl Greyhound, The Hold Steady, Style Council, The 1990s.

how about:this is a great choice. i was fortunate enough to see him at coachella and would love to see him again….
Manu Chao
how about getting my bloody valantine to reunite and play vfest.
Oh look, another wish list: Wire, The Books, Autechre, The The, Tommy Keene, The Hives, fennesz, David Sylvian, Glenn Branca, Dälek, The Cramps, Noxagt, Moog Cookbook (would they tour?), Bangles, The Saints, Stereolab, Mission of Burma, Pansonic….
And here's a dream suggestion, kind of a "roots of trance" act for the dance tent: Steve Reich and Musicians (or Ensemble Modern) performing "Music for 18 Musicians."

I second on the cramps, AC/DC, and Massive Attack!!!!
I think it would be rad to get new order, but someone told me that they're bad live.
How about for the rave tent we get the chemical brothers and underworld. that would be amazing.

But, alas, that will never happen; however, I would be quite happy with Massive Attack along with Portishead. God Is An Astronaut would be good too. I've heard nothing but very good reports regarding their live shows.
Originally posted by beetsnotbeats:Ha, not so sure he'd be a good festival act, but I would certainly fall all over myself to see him.
David Sylvian
Also a big thumbs up for Tommy Keene – get a local boy in the house!!!!!!!!
Forget all those recommendations. Just bring Pearl Jam and Weezer and we'll have a rock show.
Get rose hill drive to play.
