What I love about the VFestival is the mash up of the best old and new acts. This gives a chance for old and young to experience the bands they love and be introduced to new sounds at one gig. 

 

This year you will experience The Killers, Snow Patrol, Elbow, Madness, Kaiser Chiefs, The Human League, Duffy, Razorlight, The Kills, M83, The Do, Louis XIV, Jenny Lewis, Jackson Jackson, Howling Bells, Tame Imparla, Wof & Cub, Children Collide, The Temper Trap and Cannons.

 

Don’t miss VFestival at Claremont Showgrounds April 5.
