Chatting ahead of the festival, De La Soul's Kelvin Mercer said: "Every time we perform in the UK we get the best reception, from the craziest crowds! V Festival 2015 is going to be the biggest rave of the year, so we're looking forward to being on that stage and joining the party!"

Nick Jonas added: "I'm honoured to join such an incredible line-up at the 20th anniversary of V Festival. My fans have been very supportive of my new music so I'm really excited to perform for them at one of the UK's greatest festivals."

MNEK commented: "This year has been a whirlwind and it's not over yet. I'm so chuffed to be part of such a brilliant line-up and can't wait to get out there."
