V Festival 2011 Weather Forecast 'Dry And Bright' At Weston Park

Music fans heading to V Festival in Staffordshire can expect a dry weekend, the Met Office has said.

The festival takes place in Chelmsford and Staffordshire from August 20-21, and will be headlined by Eminem and Arctic Monkeys – like the rest of the line-up, both acts will play at both sites.

A Met Office spokesperson told Gigwise that rain is only expected on Friday (August 19) the day before the festival kicks off.

“On a brighter note the rest of the weekend is looking dry with sunny spells,” a spokeswoman said. “Temperatures will also increase over the next few days up 23 degrees on Sunday.”

The Courteeners, Bruno Mars, Kele, Ocean Colour Scene, The Wombats and Mark Ronson are also on the bill for V Festival.
