Top acts to headline V Festival

The V Festival in Essex continues on Sunday with thousands of music fans set to rock to The Verve, Kings of Leon and Muse.

The two-site event takes place this weekend at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, and Weston Park, in Staffordshire.

A total of 150,000 people are expected at the event, which will also feature music from Duffy and Kaiser Chiefs.

Both legs of the festival look set to be hit by mixed weather conditions, according to the Met Office.

Lenny Kravitz, Maximo Park, the Charlatans, The Hoosiers and Alanis Morissette are also on the bill at the festival, which is now in its 13th year.

On Wednesday, headliners The Verve denied reports they were set to pull out of their V Festival slot.

The announcement followed claims that guitarist Nick McCabe was suffering from exhaustion after the band's recent appearance at the Summer Sonic festival in Japan.

Kanye West, the Foo Fighters, Mika and the Killers were among the acts who appeared in 2007.
