new band stage at V

There's to be a new band stage at V Festival this year, with the idea of giving - in the words of V Festival Director, Bob Angus - "talented but lesser known acts a dedicated platform to introduce their new sounds to music lovers". Acts to appear on the new band stage are yet to be confirmed.

V Festival takes place at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, and Weston Park, Staffordshire over the weekend of 21st/22nd August 2004, with the line-up swapping sites on the different days.

The confirmed line-up so far includes headliners The Strokes, and Dido, as well as Muse, Pixies, Pink, Snow Patrol, Keane, Massive Attack, Kings of Leon, Primal Scream, N*E*R*D, Athlete, Faithless, The Thrills, Badly Drawn Boy, Jet, Jamelia, and Jamie Cullum.
