Set over sites in Chelmsford and Staffordshire, the V Festival has grown into one of the most anticipated events on the summer festival calendar – and this year's edition proved why.
Over 160,000 festivalgoers packed both sites to see headlining performances from Muse and The Verve, as well as sets from Amy Winehouse, The Prodigy and Duffy.
Throughout today (August 18th), Gigwise will be bringing you extensive photo coverage from both legs of the event.
