The organisers of this year's V Festival have announced their first headline act, the outrageous American disco act Scissor Sisters.

The New York band created quite a stir when they appeared mid-afternoon on the NME stage last year.

Following that extraordinary performance, a massive selling debut single and now three nominations at this week's Brit awards, they will headline the main stage on August 21 at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

The V Festival will see more than 80 bands perform on four stages in Hylands Park.
