The main stage looks great. Haven't been to V since 2005. My festival days are over (except for old farts festies like High Voltage).

Stone Roses refuse to be on TV... think Ian is actually nervous. At the gig itself you sound great, on TV it's a completely different thing.

Gutted we can't see Aussie Pink Floyd due to a clash but we saw them recently and yes they were as good as seeing the real Pink Floyd. It's gonna be hot too. P

Nicki Minaj has apparently pulled out due to vocal issues - LMFAO will now headline the 4Music Stage instead, and DJ Fresh will play an additional set before them to fill the gap.

Did Nicki pull out because she didn't get her wig trailer?

Nicki being replaced by LMFAO isn't a big deal, I don't think most people are going to be able to tell the difference between Starships and Party Rock Anthem anyway. Even the breakdowns in Starships rip-off the ones from Party Rock Anthem.
