Welcome
Welcome to the very best unofficial V Festival 2003 site!
Read reviews of the bands who played at the 2003 festival on this website.
V is the UK’s first and only dual two-day festival, occuring simultaneously in Chelmsford and Staffordshire, with the line-ups rotating each day.
Since V’s inception in 1996, Richard Ashcroft, Travis, Manic Street Preachers and Suede have all headlined. Other star acts have included James Brown, All Saints, Macy Gray and Moby.
Both sites have their own special charm. At Hylands Park in Chelmsford there is the 500-year-old oak tree while Staffordshire’s Weston Park has a lake. The two sites annually attract over 120,000 people and 50 bands perform in the 4 main arenas.
V Festival has been voted European Festival Of The Year for the last seven years at the annual Live! Magazine Awards.
