![Kanye West in for Drake: Kanye West played two Wireless nights on the trot after Drake cancelled his appearance due to ill health. Kanye West ended up being headlining the London leg of the festival two nights on the trot. The rapper who has six consecutive number one albums certainly has a big enough following to double up - but caused a bit of controversy by taking up much of his set time with epic 20 minute rants.]()

![Pulp in for The Stone Roses: Pulp and Stone Roses fans are largely the same breed. Adidas Gazelle's, a spray-on Fred Perry polo shirt, and a Paul Weller hairstyle being the uniform. Pulp as a replacement for Glastonbury '95, therefore, was an educated decision. The Stone Roses pulled out because John Squire broke his collar bone in a biking accident. He left the band not long after. The band continued without him for a few months before splitting in 1996. Pulp's headline slot has gone down in Glasto history as one of the best of all time.]()

![Snow Patrol in for Oasis: In 2009, Oasis were due to perform at V Festival's Chelmsford edition, having played Staffordshire the night before - but they pulled out, blaming viral laryngitis. Rumours were already circulating before their cancellation that Oasis were on the verge of splitting up and a month later they did. Snow Patrol courageously stepped up to fill in for the Manchester indie legends.]()
