SOLD OUT
V Festival:
JJB Arena:
Ian Brown (1) + The Pogues + Jamie T + The Twang + Sugababes + David Jordan

At Hylands Park, Chelmsford

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.

More Information

Jamie T -

Jamie has been described as sounding like Kings of Leon covering a song by The Streets. His unique style of confiding humorous urban tales accompanied by his bass have had Virgin rushing to sign this young performer.

Sugababes -

A three-piece all-girl pop group whose original members were all under 17 when they first hit the charts. Their chart smash reworking of the Gary Numan classic Freak Like Me got to No 1, and also earned the sassy trio a Q Award for Best Single. Since then they have taken the pop world by storm with a top 5 platinum album (Angels With Dirty Faces) and a Brit Award for Best Dance Act in 2003. Although only one founder member remains, the current line-up of Keisha, Heidi and Amelle will no doubt continue to delight.

Ian Brown (1) -

Former Stone Roses frontman pursuing his groove-edged funky solo career. The monkey man of Britpop is still flying high while those around him have crashed and burned; Ian's stars have never burned brighter.

The Pogues -

By demonstrating that the spirit of punk could live in traditional Irish folk music, the Pogues were one of the most radical bands of the mid-80s. Famed for their wild and exciting live acts, lead singer Shane MacGowan's relentless drug and alcohol abuse meant the cult Irish folk punksters were forced to disband in the mid 90s. Now reformed with charismatic rogue MacGowan back in tow, the band are back on the road well over 20 years since their inception.

The Twang -

Birmingham based indie group declared by the NME as 'the next big thing'. Sounding like a cross between The Stone Roses and The Streets, The Twang are rock'n'roll at its best. 'Swaggering, big hearted rock'n'roll mischief...' - NME.
