The very first V festival was held in 1996 and was the only event of its kind to be staged at two sites over the same weekend where the artists swap venues overnight.

Previous headliners have included The Strokes, Muse, Dido and Pixies (last year), Coldplay and Red Hot Chilli Peppers (2003), Manic Street Preachers and Suede (1999), Prodigy and Blur (1997) and featured acts such as Travis, The Verve, James Brown, All Saints, Iggy Pop, Macy Gray, Moby, Faithless and Kylie...

The festival boasts the cream of the music crop every year and organisers are pulling out all the stops to celebrate a decade of V!
