Festival Director Bob Angus commented: “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!”
