V Festival 2013
At the 2013 V Festival, Beyoncé made only her second and third European festival appearances of the calendar year. The other main stage headliner was Kings Of Leon, with headliners on other stages including Jamie Cullum, Basement Jaxx and former Swedish House Mafia DJ Steve Angello.WEB,www.vfestival.com, Line-up, Vfestival.com, 2014-05-20, For the 2013 festival, one stage was renamed: the stage previously known as ‘Virgin Media Undercover Tent’ now became known as ‘Futures Stage’. A poster released by the organisers initially seemed to suggest that the stage previously known as ‘4Music Stage’ had been renamed as ‘Stage 2’, leading to speculation that Channel 4 had ended their sponsorship of the event, however a revised version of the poster released later reinstated the original name of the stage.NEWS,www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-festivals/10250374/V-Festival-2013-day-one-review.html, V Festival 2013: day one review, 17 August 2013, Daily Telegraph, 19 August 2013, London, Helen, Brown, NEWS,www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/music-festivals/10251639/V-Festival-day-two-Kings-of-Leon-Stereophonics-Emeli-Sande-review.html, V Festival day two: Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, Emeli Sandé, review, 18 August 2013, Daily Telegraph, 19 August 2013, London, Rupert, Hawksley, Multiple changes were made to the bill in the days leading up to the festival. Beady Eye were scheduled to headline opposite Beyoncé on the 4Music Stage, however they had to cancel all live shows through August 2013 because of the hospitalisation of member Gem Archer. Thus, their headlining slot on the 4Music Stage was taken over by Steve Angello, whose own previous headlining slot on The Arena Stage was taken over by Ocean Colour Scene. Ocean Colour Scene had themselves previously been scheduled to play an earlier timeslot on the main stage on the opposite day - that slot was taken over by Scouting For Girls, whose previous slot on the 4Music Stage was in turn taken over by previously unannounced act Reverend and The Makers. In unrelated developments, Little Mix were removed from the line-up for undisclosed reasons, and their fellow The X Factor winner James Arthur also cancelled his appearance the very day before the festival, citing a throat infection. Finally, on the official V Festival lanyard offered to festival attendees upon their arrival on site, it was confirmed that four previously unannounced acts had been added to the Futures Stage - these were James Bay, Hero Fisher, Gamu Nhengu and Paul McCartney’s son James McCartney.{{citation needed|date=January 2024}}The majority of the line-up, with day and stage splits, was announced on 30 May 2013.
