The Great Outdoors

So I'm going to V Festival. Well, one day of it to be precise. Interestingly, it's almost exactly the kind of line-up I'd expected from Glastonbury. Given that I'll get to (with any luck) see Alanis, Duffy, Muse and Amy Macdonald, that pretty much accounts for the ticket price.

But answer me this - why the hell are The Verve (who had the sum total of three songs that anyone can hum - and one of those was by the Rolling Stones) headlining at least three major festivals this year? It could only be worse if it was Maroon bloody Five.
