V Festival 2011 poll - Hit or miss?
Published Monday, Aug 22 2011, 09:00 BST | By Robert Copsey | 3 comments
This year's V Festival was another one for the books; Arctic Monkeys made their debut, Jessie J got especially teary in Chelmsford and Eminem did the inevitable and paired up with Rihanna for a performance.
The once predominantly rock festival stayed true to its roots with spots from Primal Scream, Manics, and Wombats, but continued its shift towards the mainstream with showings from the likes of The Saturdays, N-Dubz and dubstep acts Chase & Status and Pendulum.
