We cannot believe that ANY event organiser could overlook the draw of the top 5 acts (Smashing Pumpkins, Duran Duran, The Presets, Queens of the Stone Age and AIR) and be so ignorant to schedule them with overlapping times, so you either miss the the whole begining or end of each of those acts. Its so disappointing considering the cost of the ticket, and the quality organisation of similar events (BDO, Homebake, Good Vibrations) We absolutely agree with Melissas comments - we are from Sydney and flew up to QLD for the V Festival 2008 too, so its like a mini holiday.

What a waste of time and my money considering the event goes for 9 hours and the 3 best bands are all playing at the same time, I am going to try to sell my ticket!!  I would just to say that I have been looking forward to going to the V festival for ages as it is my first one I have been to heaps of other events like Big Day Out and Homebake, but never had this problem, I have just seen the timetable for the V festival 2008 in Sydney and and I can’t believe that the Smashing Pumpkins and The Presets are playing at the same time and Duran Duran are pretty playing the same time as both give or take 15mins, I am so disappointed as I spent $136.00 for ticket so that I could see all of those bands play and now I have only the option of seeing one.
