Tony Christie's unlikely comeback shows no signs of slowing down. The veteran crooner, still at number one in this week's singles chart, is to play the V festival in August. The singer, who has now spent seven weeks at the top of the chart with the
Amarillo song, said: "V will be my first ever festival and I am really looking forward to playing to a festival crowd."
Other acts so far confirmed for this year's V Festival include Oasis,
Franz Ferdinand, Scissor Sisters, The Prodigy, Athlete, **Joss
Stone, Kaiser Chiefs** and Texas. The event, which takes place at Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Weston Park, Staffordshire, is already sold out.
