And the award for best headliners goes to the V Festival 2017.

The annual extravaganza has scored quite the coup for its latest line-up.

For, both Jay Z and Pink have signed on to top the bill for the August spectacle.

Full story below…

The US heavyweights will take turns main-eventing both the August 19th and August 20th shows, alternating between the Hylands Park (Chelmsford) and Weston Park, (Staffordshire) venues.

Naturally, in booking the high profile gig, this will only intensify rumors that fresh music is near from Jigga – who will become the first rapper ever inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame this Spring.

As for Pink, a new album is already on her label’s calendar. Hence, this perhaps points to a timeline of release. Or does it?

Other names tapped to perform across festival include:

Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding, Stormzy, Craig David, Rudimental, Sean Paul, Pete Tong, Jess Glynne, Clean Bandit, Madness, Dizzee Rascal, Gorgon City, George Ezra, James Arthur, Anne-Marie, Jonas Blue, Sigma Live, The Vamps, The Wombats, Calum Scott, JP Cooper, Jack Savoretti, Scouting For Girls, Busted, Krept & Konan, Hannah Wants and Raye.

And more are set to be announced in due course.

Interested? We thought as much. Tickets go on-sale March 3rd at VFestival.com.
