MARK RONSON, EXAMPLE, SCOUTING FOR GIRLS, TOVE LO, MAVERICK SABRE AND MORE TO JOIN THE V FESTIVAL 2015 LINE-UP

V Festival, sponsored by Virgin Media, is proud to announce the addition of hit-maker Mark Ronson, performing a DJ set, Example supported by DJ Wire, Maverick Sabre, Scouting for Girls, Aston Merrygold, Bleachers and Billboard chart-topper Tove Lo to the 2015 bill.

Returning to V Festival following his 2014 appearance, Example said: “I can’t wait to return to V Festival, the crowds never disappoint. A lot of people will be used to my shows with the live band behind me, but this time I’ll be bringing DJ Wire as I want to put on a unique rave with a twist. I've been lucky enough to perform at festivals all over the world but there's always something special about V Festival - it feels like my home turf."

Maverick Sabre said: "It’s been a busy year and what better way to celebrate than playing at one of the best festivals in the UK. I’ll be dropping some new tunes so really looking forward to getting out there and sharing them with my fans.”

Aston Merrygold said: "I'm so excited to be performing at V Festival for the first time, it's going to be great fun! It has definitely been tough trying to contain myself, sitting on my hands waiting to get out there with new material, so I can't wait to finally share my music with everyone...bring it on!!!"

More to be announced soon. Stay chooned. x

I've been away for a while...so anywho...how Many more acts are to be announced? Difficult to gauge since the demise of the futures tent

[Rose-Colored Boy]

There were less acts on the initial poster remember

I haven't done the maths but I don't even know if we've got as many acts as used to be on the initial poster yet

I think we might have about 2/3 of the line up, with stage splits there will be a few new additions and maybe a few left until last minute, but I cant see anyone that big to be left. Its about mid 50's for the acts plus comedians, so we maybe will have about 15-25 maybe? But I arent sure about that

I remember for the 10th anniversary of V, there was 100 acts....admittedly it may have been quantity over quality, but this year, we're lacking in both...
