GIGS & TOURS
V Festival has announced its return for a one-off virtual event to be broadcast on ITV2. Artists including Olly Murs, Anne Marie and Dizzee Rascal will film performances at the festival’s old Chelmsford site, Hylands Park. It should be a vast improvement on the original event, as you won’t actually have to be there. It’ll all take place on 21-23 Aug, hosted by Maya Jama and Joel Dommett.
Charli XCX will perform her ‘How I’m Feeling Now’ album live in a virtual performance with Boiler Room on 15 Aug. Tickets cost $5 and are on sale now, with all proceeds going to the LA Alliance For Human Rights.
