New Acts Announced for V Festival 2012

Just when you thought the line-up for this year’s V Festival couldn’t get any better, they only go and add more acts.  On top of that the line-up for each day is announced.

The new acts announced today were Rita Ora, Newton Faulkner, Wretch 32, Gossip, Beverley Knight, Childish Gambino, Sub Focus, The Feeling, Stooshe, Cover Drive, The Rifles and Angel all confirmed to appear over the festival weekend.  Some of those already featured on Music Eyz.  In fact Stooshe were named in our Tips for 2012.

The great news for music fans is that any of you that missed out on the original ticket allocation now get a second chance.  With limited tickets going on sale from 9am on Friday 27th April.  Just go to www.vfestival.com for more info.

Ahead of his appearance at V Festival, Wretch 32 says, “I’m buzzing to be back at V Festival again this year. Last year was big, and I’ll be looking to top it this year by performing my new tracks to the V crowd. I will also be looking to get a little meet with Nicki Minaj…if I’m lucky!”

Soul diva and all round great personality, Beverley Knight comments,”It has been a while so I am chuffed to be back on stage at V this year. I have spent the last few years enjoying all the action as a punter. This year it’s time to do what I do best – and that’s rocking a crowd!”

We also got a comment from London trio Stooshe. They commented, “Really looking forward to V Festival this year. We attended last year so to be performing this year is amazing! The line up iswicked and it feels great to be a part of it. So excited!”

Taking place across the weekend of the 18th and 19th August, music fans will be treated to an exciting line up of legends old and new with the Stone Roses, The Killers, Nicki Minaj, Snow Patrol, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Tom Jones and Ed Sheeran also on the bill.
