I presume they will be playing both V festivals on alternate nights?

How far apart are they?

this is good news

Oasis to headline? :skeptic:

I must ask, did Oasis had any succes in the UK since Be Here Now? Because seriously, the last song I heard from them is D'you know what I mean, after that it was radio silence for them over here.

Crystal had a better impact!

Nic, Oarses are absolutely MASSIVE in the UK. They're already playing various 'stadia' sized gigs of their own this summer. You probably couldn't get a bigger British band.

BTW, on the official V Festival site, they say tickets are not on sale.. but google returned this site...

Al, sorry I didn't know, I was just asking... seems to me Coldplay or Radiohead are biggers act right now on our side of the pond... but Oasis hit it big with Morning Glory, but became invisible after that... Wonderwall is still in my top 20 fav tracks of all time though :D

Funny though, as Oasis did support for New Order a few years ago ;)

Travelling to the two V sites would be nigh on impossible. Unless of course you have a car

*When did it happen? Anyway it's true the rest of the world doesn't care anymore about Oasis, their crap retro joke isn't funny anymore, except for the British who keep on shitting on the world more and more crap revival bands, and still get away with it (when once they were at the front of the innovation, what a shame...). At least V has also the only really funny retro band, The Darkness, they're dead kitsch, but at least they don't take it seriously at all, the joke is funny AND rocks at the same time! Not many hopes to be there this time unfortunately, but you never know...

No, he's not. Following in Julio's illustrious footsteps, he's only gone and put his back out trying to give himself a BJ to celebrate the gig news!

3 Feb 2005, 15:58

Great news about the V2005 folks. Seriously I only live 3 miles away anyone who wants to stop over let me know. Be so good to meet some of you guys.

Also if you want any info about trains, bus etc and where to stay please e mail me.

Its so exciting to think that I could sit in my back garden and hear New Order play live!

I will of course be going!

*Oh yeah, forgot about that (especially because I was thinking of New Order...), read it a looong time ago... Those were the very early days of Oasis, one year before they forced Alan McGee of Creation to hear them. I don't know if Noel Gallagher was already in the band. Apparently Liam was desperate because Oasis were shit and asked the help of the older brother, who already had some experience in music, having been a DJ at the heighth of Madchester, then (I think) a member of a rock-dance band who sounded like Jesus Jones, and then a roadie of the Inspiral Carpets. Noel accepted to enter the band but only with absolute powers, forgot his musical past and pretended he hadn't lived in Manchester 1989, but Liverpool 1965, and that's how Oasis inexplicably became famous, after McGee himself forgot that Creation wasn't a revival label but in fact was at the front of innovation with the best shoegazers like Slowdive and Swervedriver, he just turned back the clock of 30 years... The only problem is they still were, are and always will be shit!

i have been to the staffs V every year since it moved there in 1999...its not a bad festival...more about them making money than anything else but a decent enough knees-up...new order and oasis both on would be fookin bang on...they are 2 of the best bands britain has produced in the last 25 years!!! bring it on!
