V Festival Staffordshire

Richard Branson's answer to the popular music festivals held during the British summer offers many of the biggest live acts from around the world. The festival is noted for its professionalism, and low queuing times ensuring its sold-out status every year. Like the Carling festivals, this one has a sibling festival too, with acts playing on alternate days, held in Hylands Park, Chelmsford.
