The Killers - a popular around these parts rock band from the American sicy of Las Vegas - have been announced as headliners at 2007's twin-site V Festival.

The band - whose singer Brandon Flowers wears a moustache well - will top the bill in both Chelmsford and Staffordshire when the festival kicks off in August. The four-piece will also perform at the Wills-and-Harry-organised Princess Diana Memorial concert on July 1.

Princess Diana's opinion on The Killers is, sadly, unobtainable. Wills and Harry, though, dig them considerably. Apparently.

This news should mean that The Killers will not play at Glastonbury. Indeed, Emily Eavis has already said they won't. And she the boss.

penalise me indie-points and relegate me to Divison Twat if you wish...

...but Sam's Town is awesome. So there.

The V festival tho does bring the suck.

Don't mind their singles...

...but dull as you like live. Hopefully something else dull for the other night and I can save some money.

I went to the Radiohead day at V last year then all of V, and for all of the complaints about 'corporate' festivals, one difference was still apparent - V has NO ATMOSPHERE WHATSOEVER and Reading has it in bucketloads.

V has trees

in the middle of the crowd.

How inconsiderate.

I was a V last year.

Enjoying Radiohead and this bloke comes and stands next to me and starts moaning like "ergghh I can't believe Ive left watching Kasabian on the other stage to listen to this shit!"

He was a proper prick!

Apart from that things like Jamie T, Young knives were pretty good...
