Now in its 17th year, V Festival returns with a huge line-up including The Killers, Nicki Minaj, David Guetta and Ed Sheeran.
The organisers of the festival could not have picked a better weekend to have the 2 day festival. It was possibly one of the hottest weekends of the summer, which makes a change compared to earlier years. While most people dressed as minimally as possible to keep cool, there was still the annual V Fest attenders who like to go dressed in crazy outfits - an example this year being a group of 15 Flintstones!
Although it was impossible to see everyone, I saw some really great acts, my favourite being one of half of The Last Shadow Puppets, Miles Kane. After seeing him join Arctic Monkeys on stage at V Festival 2011, I was really excited to see him again after hearing his album ‘Colour of the Trap’. And, despite being under the blazing sun and stuck in a sweaty crowd, everyone was singing and dancing along to hit songs like ‘Rearrange’ and ‘Inhaler’.
A minor down-point to the weekend was Nicki Minaj cancelling her set last minute due to a throat infection, which left some disappointed fans. Although, it wasn’t all bad. DJ Fresh did an extra set in order for LMFAO to take Nicki Minaj’s place, which brought most peoples moods back up. With dancers pouring champagne on the crowd, LMFAO got the whole crowd dancing too hits ‘Champagne Showers’ and ‘Sexy and I Know It’ , which for me, was a great way to end a really memorable weekend.
