V Festival

The Killers and Oasis are both making a welcome return to Hylands Park this summer as headliners of the 2009 V Festival.

Razorlight back for the 2009 festival

A number of acts returning to Chelmsford include Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Keane and The Ting Tings.

BBC Essex Introducing presenter Mike Bromfield says:  "I think the line-up is quite well put together, it's a little predictable."

However, Mike is a little disappointed and he was hoping to see some of the bigger names, including Muse.

"I'm glad Elbow are on there considering their recent success at the Brit Awards," says Mike. 

The Killers return to Chelmsford

"The best bands on the line-up this year?  Definitely The Killers who I saw at Reading last year and they were amazing, The Script, one of my favourite bands at the moment MGMT, The Enemy and Biffy Clyro," adds Mike.
