Heading down to V Festival this weekend? With headline sets from Justin Timberlake and The Killers amongst others, we wouldn't blame you.
The action is held across two venues, Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex and Weston Park just outside Birmingham on Saturday August 17 and Sunday August 18. If you've been too busy to look into, which bands are on and which days, then fear not, we wouldn't want you to miss a minute.
