V2002: MANICS HEADLINE
-Raz- by Raziq Rauf August 3rd, 2002
The Manic Street Preachers are set to headline the NME stage at V2002 following the unfortunate withdrawal of Travis.

Since Travis drummer, Neil Primrose, fractured a vertebrae in his neck, there had been much speculation over their participation in the festival. Since they pulled out there has been further specualation over their replacements and I bet the Virgin folk are dead pleased to have pulled this one out of the bag.

While The Manics will be on in Chelmsford on Saturday 17th and in Leeds on Sunday 18th, The Chemical Brothers will headline the Main Stage.
