V Festival 2008 - Gigwise's Definitive Weather Guide

Both legs of this years V Festival look set to be hit by mixed weather conditions, the Met Office has said.

The event, which takes place simultaneously in Chelmsford and Staffordshire, will be headlined by The Verve and Muse.

Speaking to Gigwise, a Met Office spokeswoman said that showers are expected over night on Friday in Chelmsford, which will lead to damp conditions before the festival gets underway on Saturday.

Although temperatures will reach a maximum of 22 degrees on both days, a mixture of “sunshine and showers” are expected throughout the weekend.

In Staffordshire, the outlook “will generally be the same, if not a little cooler”, the spokeswoman added.
