Eminem And Arctic Monkeys Take London's 'V'


LONDON (VIP NEWS) — The 'Not Afraid' rapper tops the V Festival 2011 bill alongside the 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor' rockers at this year's event.

This year's festival takes place across two UK sites, Hylands Park in Chelmsford, and Weston Park, Staffordshire UK, on the weekend of 20 and 21 August.

Other acts confirmed to perform over various music stages so far include Rihanna, Tinie Tempah, Kaiser Chiefs, Jessie J, The Script, The Saturdays, Manic Street Preachers and Plan B.

Festival Director Bob Angus said, "We've got two supremely talented acts headlining this year's V festival in Arctic Monkeys and Eminem and the likes of plan B, Kaiser Chiefs, The Script and Manic Street Preachers just adds to the strength of the main stage line-up.

"The breadth of accomplished talent performing throughout the weekend on the other stages is also something we are proud of, with heavyweight acts including Dizzee Rascal, Razorlight, Chase and Status and Duran Duran joining the party."

As well as seeing some of the world's biggest acts perform, fans will also be able to experience new 'V Style' camping, meaning it will be possible to stay in ready built Pod Pads, Cloud Yurts, Healthworks Tepees and pop-up hotel rooms, rather than traditional self pitched tents.
