Since its inception 12 years ago in the UK, V Festival has prided itself on creating line-ups that combine an intangible, eclectic hand-picked mix of the absolute iconic with the new and the cutting-edge, and in true V style you’ll witness first time visitors popping their Antipodean musical cherries alongside star-spangled and seasoned tour veterans.
Tickets on sale from 6 December for $125 + booking fee.
More info at the V Festival website.
1 dollar from every ticket goes to Virgin Unite, the charitable arm of the Virgin Group.
