Performing exclusively at his only UK festival this summer, Bieber, who shares his age with the event, will treat festivalgoers to a sneak peak of his upcoming tour ‘Purpose’, with Rihanna returns to V Festival after five years away.

Adding to V Festival 2016’s international superstar line-up and will be Australian superstar songstress, Sia, and superstar DJ, David Guetta – who are both UK festival exclusives for V Festival 2016.

Also performing on the Virgin Media stage are British indie rock favourites Bastille, the world’s biggest girl group Little Mix, Grammy winner Jess Glynne and party starter, John Newman.
