Calvin Harris Replaces Duran Duran At V Festival - Tickets

Calvin Harris will replace Duran Duran at this year's V festival, it has been announced.

The DJ/Producer will play the band's slot after Duran Duran were forced to postpone their European tour due to the ongoing voice difficulties of singer Simon Le Bon.

The dual festival takes place in Chelmsford and Staffordshire from August 20-21, and will be headlined by Eminem and Arctic Monkeys.

Tinie Tempah, Jessie J, Glasvega, The Courteeners, Bruno Mars, Kele, Ocean Colour Scene, The Wombats and Mark Ronson are also on the bill.
