V 2006

[edit] V2006

Main Stage at (Not so dry) Stafford Park - 2006
The 11th V Festival took place on Saturday 19 August and Sunday 20 August.
Tickets for the festival went on sale on Monday 27 February, exclusively to Virgin Mobile customers, and went on general sale on Friday 3 March.
There were complaints from festival-goers in 2006 due to the excessive price of food and merchandise, and lack of prior information about the band schedules, the only timetable available being a programme sold at the festival. Despite knowing the numbers attending, the print run of programmes was sold out.[1]
The "Road To V" competition for 2006 was won by Bombay Bicycle Club and Keith.
