V Festival is a music festival held in England during the penultimate weekend in August. It is held every year at Hylands Park in Chelmsford and Weston Park in South Staffordshire. The sponsors of this event is virgin mobiles, The "V" represents the Virgin Group. The V Festival is held at two parks simultaneously which share the same bill; artists perform at one location on Saturday and then swap on Sunday.
The concept for V came in 1996 when Pulp's front man Jarvis Cocker declare that he would love to play two outdoor venues in two days. Pulp's promoters got together and came up with the idea of putting the music performance into Victoria Park Warrington and Hylands Park Chelmsford giving fans in both the North and South a chance to see the band. Then came the idea of adding more bands to the bill, putting on a second stage and letting people camp for the weekend. In the end Victoria Park was just too small for 3 stages and camping. So in August 1996 there was one day of artists in Victoria Park and 2 days at Hylands Park with camping. The northern leg of V97 was switched to Temple Newsam, Leeds to provide room for camping and three stages. In 1999 the Northern leg of the festival was moved to Weston Park in Staffordshire, and has remained there since.
In the Past it had been held at Temple Newsam in Leeds, before being replaced by Carling's Leeds Festival. Originally, the festival took the name of the current year, with the first festival being named "V96". Since 2003 it has been known as simply the V Festival. Its weekend format, low queuing times and professional organisation have given it a loyal audience. The festival sold out in record time in 2006.
The first V festival took place on Saturday August 17 and Sunday August 18, 1996, and had two stages and one tent. V Festival 2011 was held on 20-21 August 2011 and was headlined by Eminem and Arctic Monkeys, while Plan B and Rihanna sub-headlined. Other performers for V 2011 included The Script, Dizzee Rascal, Pendulum, Kaiser Chiefs, Duran Duran, Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, Razorlight, Chase and Status, Tinie Tempah & more acts.
The first V Festival was held on 1996. V Festival 2011 is just finished and V Festival 2012 is announced so get ready for this eye-captivating event on 17-19 August 2012. It has been announced that The Killers and Oasis will headline at V 2012. Festival goers get your V Festival Tickets from Gigsport at low cost.
