V Festival  2016 Overview

V Festival fully embraced what it had wanted to be for years: an all-out pop festival. The twin festival sites once played host to headliners like Morrissey, Radiohead and Oasis, but for the last half decade, the focus of the festival has slowly shifted from trying to appease indie and guitar fans, instead opting to go for its first pair of pop titans for headliners with Justin Bieber and Rihanna.

But don’t forget over Fab Artists such as Sia, Little Mix, Bastille and lots of others for use we feel this was one of V Festival very best line up especially if you like Pop and chart music

In Total there was 175,000 festival-goers were treated to the hottest pop lineup of the summer with over 100 artists across six stages. Headline performances from superstars Justin Bieber and Rihanna wowed crowds with unmissable performances and production, whilst Australian superstar songstress, Sia, impressed with her soaring vocals and stage presence.

In addition to the scheduled line up, and to the delight of V Festival fans, many artists brought surprise guests to perform with them on stage. Craig David was kept busy by performing with Sigala, Little Mix andLethal Bizzle on top of his own headline TS5 performance at the Dance Arena.

MNEK surprised crowds by coming back on stage with Zara Larsson to blast their smash hit single, ‘Never Forget You’. Global superstar DJ, David Guetta, got the party started and even brought out Bebe Rexhato sing on their hit anthem ‘Hey Mama’.

This year also introduced a number of additions to celebrate the anniversary; BBC Radio 1 hosted a new Summer of Dance stage, bringing chart topping dance anthems from Gorgon City to Eric Prydz to the Friday night crowd.
