Happy Mondays step on for Amy Winehouse

By Scott Johnson | Published:


After Amy Winehouse's departure from this weekend's V Festival line-up, the organisers have done a quick reshuffle and moved the Happy Mondays into her slot.

Amy was due to play on the 4Music Stage on Saturday 18th August in Hylands Park, Chelmsford and Sunday 19th August in Weston Park, Staffordshire. Happy Mondays will now replace her by moving across from the JJB Arena, where they were originally scheduled to play.

There will be no replacement in their slot.

The dual site V Festivals, which take place at Weston Park, Staffordshire and Hylands Park, Chelmsford, will feature a line-up of over 100 acts, including The Killers, Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Kasabian, Pink, James, Kanye West, Jarvis Cocker, Paolo Nutini, The Fratellis, Editors, KT Tunstall, James Morrison, Basement Jaxx, The Kooks, Manic Street Preachers, Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, Babyshambles, Mika, Primal Scream, Damien Rice, Corinne Bailey Rae, and more. To see which acts play at which site on which day, click for Hylands Park, Chelmsford or Weston Park, Staffordshire.

Tickets for Chelmsford are completely sold out, but there are still some weekend (without camping) and Sunday day tickets available for Staffordshire. To buy click here.
