Securing Beyonce for an exclusive European Festival appearance and Kings of Leon as headliners is a great achievement. These acts, along with one of the strongest bills in V Festival’s 18-year history, is something we are very proud of. We have a reputation for bringing fans the best world class acts and breakthrough artists; 2013 is set to be another sensational year.”
