V Festival playing times

Wed 18th Mar, 2009 in Local News

Will it be The Killers or The Human League? Madness or M83? Now comes the all-important task of planning your V Festival itinerary, so that you can promptly throw it out the window on the day.

In 2009, it’s a one-size-fits-all timetable (except for Perth), with the action divided between This Stage, That Stage, The Other Stage and The Virgin Mobile Stage. Make sure to roll up to the Virgin Mobile Stage early in the day to barrack for your Garage2V State Winner as well as the National Winner – aka the next Little Red. Now hurry along and make a planÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

JackT said on the 18th Mar, 2009

The Other Stage will be my main base, with a wander for Madness and the G2V winner...

unlachs

unlachs said on the 18th Mar, 2009

after soundwave, it's pretty awesome to see a festival give most bands hour-plus sets.

de-tec-tive

de-tec-tive said on the 19th Mar, 2009

okay i just saw the timetable - WHAT THE FUCK. i can't believe Snow Patrol aren't on the main stage with The Killers & Kaiser Chiefs! i was really counting on all three playing on the same stage. and i'll probably have to miss out on Madness =(

Sure am dicklips. You will have to be my friend that evening. Beware, I get drunk and hurl abuse at people and can often be found throwing kebabs.

lak lak

lak lak said on the 19th Mar, 2009

mmmm kebabs....well i do believe steve is comin down too and i was gonna be escorting him also so fun times really

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Kewl-o. Lucky I am dragging Dkos along. He doesn't know it yet, but he is coming.

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 19th Mar, 2009

I still haven't got the day off work yet. Might have to rock up at 6.00 if I end up screwed.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Your coming too??? Farking sweet!!! Slammers all round!!!!

lak lak

lak lak said on the 19th Mar, 2009

i think he means actual v fest, not the sideshow

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 19th Mar, 2009

V festival that is, I am still tossing up the option of Madness at a venue I hate or M83 at the Metro.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Ah! I see. I'll say come to the Madness or if not we shall meet up for slammers afterwards?

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 19th Mar, 2009

To be honest Knate is on the money, I think it was already decided for me.
How long you in town Britt?

When? Now or for then?

I was going to go home today but think I am going to Garage2V tonight which reminds me I must change my flights.

But then, I am down for work on the Thursday and will be leaving on Sat for my birthday (V) fest up here on the Sunday.

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Hopefully we can work something out before you head off home.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

That is what I like to hear.

Btw Lak Lak, Steve and I have decided to a drinking contest, state of origin style. You and Dkos vs. Steve and I. You are both screwed. There will be vomit and it won't be coming from either of us...

Beef jerky

Beef jerky said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Glad I'm not going now.

Madness-M83-Razorlight clash is the worst.

Clashes are always a problem at V Fest. Short timeframe and a short list of bands. Not much you can do.

That said, I 'almost' got to see everything I wanted to see last year.

How come Dkos has to represent us?! I want superbrowny or someone else doing it!

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Find me a proper challenger and I will be more than happy to make them drink till they spew...

Dexter Ramone

Dexter Ramone said on the 19th Mar, 2009

You're just as smug as Tom and his footy tipping.
I'll see you tonight. I have a bunch of drink tokens with your name on them. (actually they say virgin.. Weird.)

Well when my track record is proven it pays to be smug.

What are you saying? I am not pure? Excellent the only thing better than beer is free beer.... Hopefully I am not in the idiot factory till after midnight like last night so I can actually get steady drunk and not end up at a pub drinking 5 slammers at a time.

I think we deserve an extra team mate, I have a friend who is interested.

knate

I'd take up the challenge... beer me up

Actually when is this?

I will represent WA.

dkos

dkos said on the 19th Mar, 2009

It's on then, this time there shall be rules and regulations. None of this casual drinking at a steady pace.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

See I think for your own sake we should stick to the steady pace. You will spew otherwise. It is certain like the sun coming up tomorrow. If it is on my shoes or anywhere near my person I will be pissed and probably make you lick it off. You don't want that now do you??

dkos

dkos said on the 19th Mar, 2009

No maam. Although, you spewed the other day, didn't you? I must have misheard you, surely you didn't spew? Oh wait, that's right, you did, you spewed.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

I did spew. Correct. Someone get the kid a gold star. But this is from the headache and dirty fucking horrible hangover I had the NEXT DAY not actually while in the process of drinking. Alcohol related yes but not the only factor which saw me kissing porcelin.

dkos

dkos said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Oh sorry, I thought you were looking down on me, I guess that would be hypocritical though, wouldn't it, and you wouldn't want to be hypocritical.

brittles

brittles said on the 19th Mar, 2009

Oh my no, no, no. You've met me. I can't look down on anyone...literally...except children...

and midgets.

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon Solo said on the 19th Mar, 2009

okay i just saw the timetable - WHAT THE FUCK. i can't believe Snow Patrol aren't on the main stage with The Killers & Kaiser Chiefs! i was really counting on all three playing on the same stage. and i'll probably have to miss out on Madness =(
dilemma dilemma....

Ha! the fates have conspired against you. Your plans of spending all day glued to the main stage barrier are all for naught.

Loomis

Loomis said on the 20th Mar, 2009

Almost everything clashes this year, which was the same as last year I guess. The Kills v Kaiser Chiefs (ok, probably an easy choice), but who do I want to do the 80s for me: The Killers or the Human League? I had but a simple electric dream...

de-tec-tive

de-tec-tive said on the 20th Mar, 2009

hmm i still might stay there. i'm going to the Snow Patrol sideshow so i guess i can skip seeing them.

snapcrackleROCK

snapcrackleROCK said on the 20th Mar, 2009

Kills + Kaisers + Madness = $140 bucks value.

Those three clashing = utter shit.

interpolantics said on the 25th Mar, 2009

vanilla ice appearing at syd and gold coast v fests... depending on a poll on rightmusicworngs.com, he will either by performing or apologising for ice ice baby...

Dexter Ramone

Dexter Ramone said on the 25th Mar, 2009

I'd like him to perform it and then apologise for it.

tateycakes

tateycakes said on the 25th Mar, 2009

And that would be perfect!!

interpolantics said on the 26th Mar, 2009

For any Killers fans or those interested, the band has covered 'Four Winds' by Bright Eyes as a B-Side for the European release of Spaceman... very synthy, i like it!

Got some time off work at the last minute, so I will be rocking up around 3 instead of 7, thank christ.
