It’s that time of year again and V Festival is back for another barnstorming weekend spread out over the two epic locations of Hylands Park & Weston Park. Drawing from its illustrious beginnings as the brain child of Pulp’s front man Jarvis Cocker this year looks like it is going to be another vintage V Festival. How vintage? If we were to describe the 2011 line up in one word, dangerous. Eminem, Rihanna, Plan B, Arctic Monkeys, Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah, Bruno Mars and the list just goes on. You will be hard press to find a better spread of pop delicacies gracing any festival set this year and with V Festival you’re guaranteed to feast to your heart’s content.

That’s not to mention the return to the festival scene of some massive names like the Manic Street Preachers, Duran Duran, Primal Scream and Cast. Primal Scream, you can’t put a price on that kind of audio gold. As if thats not enough for you all there is a fantastic undercard featuring bands like Pendulum, Razorlight, Chase and Status, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson and Ellie Goulding. If you've still got the energy, why not watch Katy B, Squeeze, the Saturdays, and of course Olly Murs of X Factor fame, Ocean Colour Scene and Wiz Khalifa. Rounding the weekend off will be Hurts, N-Dubz, Glasvegas, KT Tunstall, Imelda May and You Me At Six.
