V Festival 2008 rumoured line-up

We print this with a giant oversized warning that it is more than likely 100% bullshit.

The dates:

Sydney - Saturday March 29
Gold Coast - Sunday March 30
Melbourne - Saturday April 5
Perth - Sunday April 6

And the rumoured acts to be performing:

  • The Who
  • Radiohead
  • Arctic Monkeys
  • Bloc Party
  • Klaxons
  • Common
  • Cold War Kids
  • Lady Sovereign
  • The Wombats
  • Operator Please
  • Sneaky Sound System
  • Pnau

As said, this is all just 'word on the street' at the moment but the mere prospect of The Who and Radiohead double headlining a festival in our town makes us fairly excited. Only time will tell though how much truth is behind this.
