V Festival Director Bob Angus Comments: "Building the V Festival line up is without a doubt one of the best times of the year for us and securing The Killers and Foo Fighters - two of the biggest and best live bands - as headliners is a real achievement. In addition to these and the other great acts announced today, we’re building the momentum and are confident that it won’t be long before some more great names are announced. Watch this space!"
