V2001 (Staffordshire) Reviews

V 2004 at weston park in Staffordshire was my first festival, I do regally go to gigs and I've seen bands like Funeral for a Fiend, Turin Brakes, Ash, The Distillers, New Found Glory and Hundred Reasons live but I've been looking forward to the V festival ever since booking the tickets in April, back then the whole line up was not ...  Read the complete review

The eighth Virgin music festival was a triumph earlier last month, despite late cancellations by bands (I'm still gutted about Kelly Osbourne? does sarcasm not work in text?) it was a massive turn out and a superb event. Here is a look at the best bands and their performances, I also brought fellow movie critic Mary and her twin sister Helen ...  Read the complete review

Finally on August 17th, I packed up my car and battered up the motorway, picking up the miss's on route for ...  Read the complete review

I was supposed to be going with a group of friends but they couldn’t make it so I just went with a very close friend of ...  Read the complete review

V2001 is probably the most commercialized of all the festivals, but also one of the best organized.

On one of the few rainy weekends of the summer, I ventured over to Staffordshire's Weston Park for the V2001 festival. Despite the criticism of being far too over-commercialised, it turned out to be an excellent couple of days, with the headlining acts including Texas, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, David Gray and Coldplay. SATURDAY ...  Read the complete review

As I sit here typing away, smelly, muddy, scruffy, it's blatantly obvious I've just been to a festival (slightly less obvious why I chose to write this before cleaning myself up). But I'm rather less smelly, muddy and scruffy than I would have been had I just come back from Reading/Leeds or Glastonbury. V2001 is very much the ...  Read the complete review
