V Festival launches community site to create event buzz LONDON - V Festival has appointed Isobar network agency De-construct as lead digital agency for www.vfestival.com.

V Festival is now in its 14th year and has almost 200,000 registered users. It aims to use De-construct to extend interest beyond the physical event by creating a digital community and festival buzz all year-round.

The website will be developed in the run-up to the event in August and will stream the event online during the festival. Community enhancements will be the focus of future developments, offering users a festival forum, richer profile functionality and enhanced image and video galleries. The site will be complemented by live twitter feeds and news updates aggregated by Cake Group along with artist content.

De-construct will work closely with V Festival's newly appointed digital sales house W00t Media to develop ads on the site.

Well we've already seen the Ads be implemented, So live streaming online for anyone who hasn't gone much like Download festival do on their website, and FINALLY their own official forum, means that we might actually be able to get in touch with the organisors if its anything like the Download official forums, which are just EXCELLENT with their feedback to the fanbase

I look forward to seeing what happens

Sounds good in principle but didnt they update it last year and it didnt improve much.

I did watch a few acts on the Download site and it was great to get a flavour of the action..

could be good, hopefully much better communication with regards to announcements and general site news.

i'll expect it to be crap so if its not it'll be a bonus

Didn't they say that last year?

Sounds like it should be a great website, especially the online streaming.

It just depends on how long we will have to wait for it.

An Official Festival Forum?
