Jamelia will perform at the V Festival in August.

Jamelia

Her single "Superstar" was one of the biggest hits of last year and was still in the Top 50 singles chart three months after release.

Speaking about the announcements this week, V Festival Director Bob Angus said: "After The Strokes, Dido, Muse and Pixies we couldn't be happier to secure five more great acts.

"Jet, The Thrills, Badly Drawn Boy, Faithless and Jamelia look set to make the 9th year of the V Festival one of our strongest yet.

"This is going to be one summer music lovers won't be able to forget with the line-up set to get even bigger still!"

V Festival Director Simon Moran said: "Tickets have been selling at lightening speed - breaking all previous records!

"With these additional announcements we would advise music lovers to get their tickets early to avoid disappointment. Particularly Hylands Park Weekend Camping Tickets which are only available in a few outlets now".
