Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder and Groove Armada have been added to the line-up for this year's V Festival.

The event takes place at sites in Chelmsford and Staffordshire on August 21-22.

Festival director Bob Angus said: “We’re chuffed to bits to be able to welcome a living legend like Shaun William Ryder to the line-up this summer.”

V Festival will be headlined by Kings Of Leon and Kasabian, with other acts confirmed including Editors and Plan B.
