Music festivals are always a sure hit. With the artists being able to perform at one stage, the spectacular crowds and the genius behind putting up such an event to promote the love of music and fun surely had cemented music fests as one of the avenues to bring out the prolific music fan in you. Bordering hysteria and endless eargasmic sessions, people, in particular those who are on their teenage years, frequent these annual events.
We all have seen bagshot music festivals such as Coachella and Glastonbury to bring about pandemonium and harmony at the same time. It is through these events that everyone can be an instant fan, and music saturated the air without anyone complaining. The United Kingdom is known to have been huge lovers of fests and one of the most noted and most awaited is the V Festival happening every year.
V Festival is predominantly a rock music festival, which happens annually on two different venues, which are the Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park, Staffordshire. This fest had started in 1996 and is a continuing ritual for music lovers in England and all around the world. The letter V in V Festival stands for the event’s sole sponsor, Virgin Media. V Festival happens every penultimate weekend in August and slowly hugging other types of music genre ranging from pop to R&B.
What makes V Festival a cut above the rest is the fact that its being held at two different locations simultaneously, with the same set of artists to perform and the quirky rule of swapping the acts on two consecutive days which are Saturday and Sunday. Technically speaking, Artist A would be playing in Hylands Park on a Saturday only to repeat it in Weston Park the day after.
For 2015 installment, the whole of V Festival grounds are subdivided into three areas, namely the Main Stage, The Dance Tent and The Glee Club Comedy Tent. This music fest is said to be one of the best in the entire world as Virgin Media put in a lot of budget to make this annual event one heck of a success. Some of the few artists who have graced the V Festival stages are Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Alesso, The Killers, Adam Hills, Rita Ora, Ceelo Green, Eminem, Kings of Leon, David Guetta, Oasis, Keane, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lily Allen, Mika, Radiohead, The Charlatans and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The line-up set to put the Main Stage on fire would be Sam Smith, Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding, The Script, Chvrches, Paloma Faith, Tom Jones, Hozier, Lawson, Nick Jonas, Kasabian, Kodaline, Duke Dumont, Clean Bandit, Stereophonics, Oily Murs, Nero and Labrinth. The Dance Tent would be entertained by Alex Adair, Hannah Wants, Goldie, Moxie, Philip George, Toddia T, MistaJam, Monki, Marvin Humes, DJ EZ, Sam Feldt and LuvBug. Selected artists would be filling up The Glee Club Comedy Tent which includes Frankie Boyle, Russell Kane, Nick Helm, Seann Walsh, Shappi Khorsandi and Gary Delaney.
