Acts That Won't Be Playing Virgin Festival
Far East-side Soweto > VMoFest. Now that the Virgin Mobile Festival headliners have been announced (Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, the Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson and Stone Temple Pilots), the guessing game shifts to the undercard.

Official Virgin Festival Predictions, Vol. 3
At this point I half expect the Coachella 2009 headliners to be announced before this year's Virgin (Mobile) Festival lineup.

All Signs Point To Tough Competition For V-Fest
Are Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs heading West? In opening the Official Virgin Festival Predictions thread last week, David noted that speculating about who's going to play the big summer festivals might be more fun than going to the festivals themselves.

Official Virgin Festival Predictions, Vol. 1
The speculation about who is going to play at big summer music festivals is arguably more fun than the actual festivals themselves. Who doesn't love the guessing game that leads up to the big announcement? Back in high school I'd try to piece together HFStival lineups based on what bands...
