===Best of V Festival (Mini V) 2007===
*Demo (cassette 1996)
The promoter of the festival, [[Michael Coppel]], declared [[Melbourne]] a "festival graveyard", and did not book a venue for the festival in the city, despite the fact that several very successful [[Big Day Out]] festivals had been held in Melbourne since 1993. [[Adelaide, South Australia|Adelaide]] also missed out on the festival, disappointing many Victorian and South Australian fans who were hoping to see [[Pixies]] on their first Australian tour.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/music-fans-on-the-move-in-melbourne-festival-morgue/2006/12/05/1165080946609.html |title = Music fans on the move in Melbourne festival morgue |accessdate = 2007-11-28 |author = Donovan, Patrick |date = [[2006-12-06]] |publisher = ''[[The Age]]'' }}</ref>

===with Ginnungagap===
To make up for the omission, a "Best of V Festival" series of concerts was organised, also called "Mini V", in which the Pet Shop Boys, Groove Armada, Gnarls Barkley and The Rapture would play in Melbourne (at the [[Sidney Myer Music Bowl]]) on [[3 April]], while Pixies, Jarvis Cocker, Phoenix and New York Dolls play in Adelaide (at Memorial Drive) on the same night. The following night ([[April 4]]) the line-ups swapped cities with Pet Shop Boys playing in Adelaide and Pixies playing in Melbourne.

The move was controversial, however, with tickets for one night at the Melbourne show costing only slightly less ($110 in Melbourne, $99 in Adelaide) than a festival ticket ($124), and double that to attend both nights. The promoter responded that the similar cost was to do with the economics of scale regarding the smaller capacity venues in Melbourne and Adelaide.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2007/02/13/1171128943647.html |title = Festival gives fans the big V |accessdate = 2007-11-28 |author = Northover, Kylie; Rennie, Reko |date = [[2007-02-13]] |publisher = ''[[The Age]]'' }}</ref>

The Best Of shows will not return in 2008, for several reasons. Firstly, Melbourne has been given a full V Festival for 2008, due to the availability of the newly renovated Showgrounds.
