The headliners and the first batch of acts for V Festival 2009 were announced yesterday. I posted back in January how Seetickets and V Festival organisers emailed a survey asking What acts you would like to see at V2009 - well I guess they didn't listen to my suggestions.
Even by V's standards, this years line-up seems particularly boring and there's a huge feeling of deja-vu all round with half the acts returning from two years ago and the lack of any surprises on the stages so far.
I reckon the upstart Green Man festival on the same weekend has a lot to do with this - it would be ridiculous to say it was a direct competitor, but what it does do is pick up many of the curios that would occasionally pop up to enliven the V line up of previous years.
This year offers Bon Iver and Wilco - and is a good bet to join Bestival and Latitude as a highlight of the alternative festival circuit.
