The Chelmsford one - this tends to be the one where all the 'celebs' go! so if you fancy mingling with the stars this is the one for you. V always has a sterling line up - and you know what? V is one helluva lot of fun!
V was the first UK festival to operate over two days and swap line-ups overnight. Since 96, some of the world’s greatest performers have graced the stages including Radiohead, Morrissey, The Strokes, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur, Faithless, Razorlight and Kylie…
V It began from an idea shared by Jarvis Cocker who mentioned that he wanted to play two outdoor gigs in two days - the right folk got together and hey presto V was born. Beginning in 1996 V was the first festival to operate a two site option and the first year had a Warrington leg before moving to Temple Newsam in Leeds for the next two years - in 1999 Weston Park became the new home for the V festival in the North where it has since remained and firmly established itself as a festival to be reckoned with.
Many of the world's best bands have played the V festival over the years and the event has brought with it some tremendous and eclectic line ups ranging from pure pop to rock and alternative - V has now become firmly established on the festival circuit and has a well deserved following.
Sponsored by Virgin some have complained that it's a highly commercialised festival but don't let that put you off - V festival is still a great fun festival and it always attracts a cutting edge line up ...
The Weston Park leg tends to be more 'real' for our taste attracting less of the celeb set - but it's horses for courses - if you prefer celeb city and enjoy the chance to bump into someone famous then Chelmsford is the one for you - and maybe that's one of V festivals greatest strengths - although they have the same line up both festivals have a very different feel so you have a choice for which one suits you best. Whichever one you do choose we think you'll have a great time at V.
We do not advise you to buy tickets from anywhere other than legitimate primary sites, there are plenty of sites out there claiming to have V tickets to sell you - this will be a scam and you are likely to lose your money.
If any more tickets go on sale we will have links to buy them from legitimate sources - if in any doubt check the V Festival website.
