Ronson joins Example, Scouting for Girls, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Essex’s biggest music event.

Roy Stride, lead singer of Scouting for Girls, said: “We’ve always loved V. It’s always been the best crowd of the summer for us.

“It’s one of those festivals where people go to just have a real party.”

Other names on the bill so far include George Ezra and Ellie Goulding.
