POP princess Pixie Lott and guitar band McFly are the latest additions to the line-up for this year's V Festival.

They join a host of acts to be added to the bill for the music festival at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, over the weekend of August 22-23.

Eighteen-year-old Pixie Lott, from Brentwood, went straight to number one with her debut single Mama Do earlier this year.

Other acts to be added include Sneaky Sound System, Asher Roth, Carolina Liar, Bjorn Again and Mike Snow.

They join performers including Oasis, The Killers, Razorlight, Lady GaGa, The Specials, Lily Allen, Snow Patrol, Keane and Elbow.

Festival director Bob Angus said: “V Festival is delighted to add such a range of hot talent to our line up at this late stage.

“We now have over 60 acts confirmed to play at this year's V Festival, and feel confident that all the acts on the bill genuinely offer a fresh and diverse mix of the best the current music scene has to offer.”
