The idea for V came in 1995 when Pulp's front man Jarvis Cocker announced he'd love to play two outdoor venues in two days. Pulp's promoters got together and came up with the idea of putting the gig into Victoria Park Warrington and Hylands Park Chelmsford giving fans in both the North and South a chance to see the band. Then came the idea of adding more bands to the bill, putting on a second day and letting people camp for the weekend! In the end Victoria Park was just too small for two stages and camping. So in August 1996 there was one day of artists in Victoria Park and two days at Hylands Park with camping. The northern leg of V97 was switched Leeds Temple Newsham to provide room for camping and three stages. In 1999 the Northern leg of the festival was moved to Weston Park in Staffordshire and has remained there since.

The "V" represents the Virgin Group, and began as another means of promoting Richard Branson's companies. The event is sponsored by Virgin Mobile, with Virgin Radio the official radio station.

The festival generally takes place during the penultimate weekend of August. Its weekend format, low queuing times and professional organisation have given it a loyal audience. The festival sold out in record time in 2006.

Atmosphere and reputation

The festival has been noted for its commercial nature^[3] in comparison with other British music festivals. This has been referred to by both the mainstream media and festival fans, comparing it to its rivals^[4]. However the New Statesman argues that this may have some advantages: The New Statesman is a left-of-centre political weekly published in London. ...

"Yet there are undeniable advantages to the [commercial] environment. V is a remarkably non-threatening festival, with few of the rougher edges prevalent at other large-scale gatherings"

^[5]

These "rougher edges" include crowd trouble, alcohol and drug use, mud-bathing and pelting of acts at other festivals such as Reading - although this does not mean these festivals are anarchic or non-commercial. Recently, the festival has begun to include more "edgy" acts, some of whom have made comments such as "Can we get paid now?"^[6].

Gatecrashers

Increasingly, the festival has experienced non-ticket holders attempting to enter the venue illegally via insecure fence boundaries. Also a popular scam is for a member of a group of attendees to "lose" their camping wristband (which allows them entry to the camping area) whereupon a replacement is issued by the organisers. The "lost" band is then distributed to non-camping ticket holders. Other attempts in the past as weekend wristband was blue at the time included attempting to enter the venue using a wristband of the previous year, using electricians tape, (that was until the event introduced the cloth wristband in 2005 which made it less prone to tampering). Common scams includes touting weekend wristbands off to concert goers. In British English, a tout is any person who solicits business or employment in an importune manner (generally equivalent to a solicitor in American English). ...
