Tickets for the UK based festival are set to go on sale this Friday, which will be February 26th, from 9:30am on wards.
V Festival works as an annual music festival every late August; with musicians performing at two separate locations, either Hylands Park in Essex, or Weston Park in Staffordshire. V Festival first started up in 1996 and has continued to grow over the years, with 2015 managing to pull in a phenomenal 270,000 people.
V Fest has always managed to pull in huge names for performances, even in its inaugural year having the likes of Paul Weller, Supergrass and The Cardigans. Last year saw Kasabian, Stereophonics, Calvin Harris and Olly Murs headlining. In recent years V Festival has also had a stand up comedy tent, again with big names performing with comedians like Frankie Boyle making appearances.
