V Festival Weather Forecast Is For 'Heavy Showers' At Hylands Park

Festival-goers who will be heading to this weekend's V Festival in Chelmsford stand a chance of heavy showers, the Met Office has said.

The dual festival is set to take place in Chelmsford and Staffordshire from August 20-21 with headline performance from Eminem and Arctic Monkeys. Rihanna is also on the bill at the event.

A Met Office spokesperson told Gigwise the opening day of the festival will see the best of the weather, with sunny spells and temperatures up to a high of 24 degrees.

But despite warmer temperatures on Sunday, “there is also the chance of some heavy showers at times”.

Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Glasvega, The Courteeners, Bruno Mars, Kele, Ocean Colour Scene, The Wombats and Mark Ronson are also on the bill for V Festival.
