Beyonce and Kings of Leon to headline V Festival 2013
Superstar Beyonce will headline this summer's V Festival, delighted organisers have announced.
The former Destiny's Child singer, now a solo star will perform at Weston Park in August, topping the bill alongside US rockers Kings Of Leon.
Jessie J, Emeli Sande, Stereophonics, The Script, Paloma Faith and Ellie Goulding are also among the big names in the line-up announced today.
Organisers say Beyonce, who last week added three dates to her tour of the UK, will perform at V in August in her only European festival appearance during 2013.
Securing the singer – famous for hits such as Crazy In Love, Single Ladies and Bootylicious – is a coup for organisers after the star's headline arena UK tour sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale last week.
The US singer will play a run of shows in Birmingham, London and Manchester. General tickets for her Mrs Carter UK tour were released at 9.30am on Saturday and completely sold out by 9.42am. It begins its British leg in Birmingham on April 26.
This year's V Festival will take place at Weston Park near Shifnal on August 17 and 18, with tickets expected to sell out well in advance of the weekend.
Last year's event saw 90,000 fans fill the grounds of Weston Park to listen to more than 100 acts perform.
Tickets, which this year cost £180 for a weekend with camping, will go on sale on Friday.
