V Festival returns this year with Pink, Jay Z and Stormzy headlining.

Tickets are now on sale and can be bought here.

Marking his first UK show in four years, Renegade rapper Jay Z will headline on a bill which includes Ellie Goulding, Sean Paul and Dizzee Rascal.

Hov hasn’t performed here since a 2013 tour in support of his twelfth studio release, Magna Carta Holy Grail. As such, there’s speculation he may be dropping a new album this year, following a number of surprise tracks with DJ Khalid.

Three time Grammy winner P!nk is also set to headline. The Just Like A Pill singer will be supported by Rudimental, Craig David and Jess Glynne.

London grime star Stormzy is another big act on the bill, following the critically acclaimed release of his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, which he supported with a number of surprise gigs across the capital.

Among the other acts at V this year are The Wailers, Bob Marley's one-time backing band.

The festival will run from August 19 – 20 at Weston Park in Staffordshire and Hylands Park in Chelmsford. For more information, visit vfestival.com
