New Order live @ V Festival ????????

Well it has sold out completely now.  If they do play before Oasis it is a clever way by Warner i guess of introducing/exposing them to a hoard of teenagers / 20somethings going to see all the latest 'new' bands without it selling out much earlier on just to mainly No fans.  It's a shame that the average No fan might miss out though (if they did not gamble and get a ticket   )

From NME:

"V FESTIVAL 2005 has sold out.

Tickets for this year’s event have all been snapped up in record time for both sites, with Chelmsford camping tickets selling out in three hours.

Festival director Bob Angus said: “With the amazing line up announced so far and it being the tenth anniversary, we’re pleased, but not entirely surprised that tickets sold out so quickly.”

V Festival 2005 will take place at Staffordshire’s Weston Park and Chelmsford’s Hylands Park between August 20-21 with a line-up featuring Oasis, Franz Ferdinand, Scissor Sisters, Embrace, Maroon 5, Ian Brown, Jet, Kaiser Chiefs and The Music."

I got my ticket!

I've got a Stafford one, but didn't get a Chelmsford one in time.

they're not doing either though are they?

pitchfork & the other site say so, but nothing concrete yet.

Well if they aren't, I shall still be able to flog the ticket to some dufus on eBay for a vastly inflated price!

if they are not doing it, why is it on this site as a tour date??? :D

GUTTED :(

Indeed not.

Gutted! It was one of the main reasons why I bought a V ticket on the off chance they would be there! Oh and the fact I only live down the road!

Anyways, its official now, they're not playing V or Reading/Leeds.

Er, or anywhere else it seems UK-wise. :(

hyde park & glasters in england, t in the land of the scoth people & oxygen in ireland - is that it?

OK, so who's up for the French gig?? If that really is the last one of the year, then I feel like I must be there. Mr. Giles and Mr. Jarvis will, of course, be present - but who else for the Order's last hurrah of 2005????

Have they annouced the very special support act to support oarses yet ?

Given that I will be missing Barcelona, Lisbon and Germany, I am duty-bound to attend the French one!
