Speculation is growing that V Festival may be about to abandon its Staffordshire leg.
Music Week reports sources claim that organiser Festival Republic still plans to hold a festival at the Chelmsford site next year, but it’s unclear if it’ll be under the V banner.
An announcement is rumoured to be coming next month.
V Festival is yet to announce its 2018 dates – which puts it out of step with other major festivals, most of which already have tickets for next year on sale.
This year’s V Festival line-up featured the likes of Jay-Z, Ellie Goulding and Stormzy, with ticket sales reported to be significantly lower and 2 for 1 offers available in the weeks leading up to the event.
