V Festival announce headliners

Radiohead, Morrissey and Keane are the headliners for this year's V Festival, which runs 19-20 August across Hylands Park and Weston Park, with tickets on sale 3 March.

Get your happy pills out, Morrissey, Radiohead and Keane have all been announced as headliners for this year's V Festival - phew, now that's heavy going. The Magic Numbers are going to have their hands full cheering everyone up.

Still, it's a stellar line up for the two site festival, which takes place from 19-20 Aug in Hylands Park in Essex and Weston Park in Staffordshire. Paul Weller, Starsailor, The Charlatans, Groove Armada, Bloc Party, Faithless, Kasabian, Editors, Fatboy Slim, The Go! Team and The Ordinary Boys will also appear. Oh yes, and the Sugababes. Hurrah, happy music.

Announcing this year's line up, V Festival director Bob Angus told CMU: "We're very proud to be presenting Radiohead, one of the most important bands in live music today, as headliners for this year's V. To secure Morrissey, a man that has influenced so many great artists, as the other main stage headliner ensures yet another excellent V line up. It's acts like these that give our festival its unique eclectic feel and keeps our audience coming back for more, we are expecting tickets will fly out!"

Tickets go on sale on 3 Mar, though those lucky old Virgin Mobile customers can buy them right now - yes, right now. So, all you anti-corporate anti-capitalist Morrissey and Radiohead fans better go and buy yourself a Virgin Mobile, hadn't you?
