This year’s V Festival went off without any major hitches, with thousands of people turning out to see performances from Foo Fighters, the Chilli Peppers, Ash, Moloko, The Hives, Coldplay and CMU faves, Michael Franti & Spearhead.
Essex Police say the Hylands Park festival ran smoothly with only 11 arrests reported by late Sunday, and most of them were drugs related. Similar story up in Staffordshire, though not completely clear whether it was the local police force’s anonymous ‘report a crime by text message’ service that helped keep the peace!
