Rihanna and Justin Bieber to Headline V Festival
Get ready for Rihanna and Justin Bieber. The two megastars are joining forces to co-headline the U.K.’s V Festival in August, but they’re not the only ones on the bill.
Big Sean, Rita Ora, Sia, David Guetta, Little Mix, and Halsey are also on the star-studded roster for the 21st annual festival, which has been headlined by Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, and Calvin Harris in the past.

V Festival is slated to take place at two venues (Hylands Park and Staffordshire) over two dates (Aug. 20-21). While many names have been confirmed, organizers promise that even more acts will be announced.
V is also special because it will reportedly be RiRi and Biebs’ only U.K. showings this summer.
