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. The festival boasts the cream of the music crop every year and organisers are pulling out all the stops to celebrate over a decade of V! See www.vfestival.com/ for more info.
