V-Festival Review (Sunday)

Lily Allen (Pictured below) No longer known for being Keith Allen's daughter, Lily is a little ray of sunshine for the day's events. Last year's performance was a beer-fuelled two fingers up to George Bush after having a work visa denied. This year, however, steered well clear of the political undertones as Lily got back to what she does best, pop and ska. With crowd pleasers such as LDN and recent hit It's Not Fair, she pulled in a large crowd for her modest hour set.

Kissy Sell Out These guys have something of a cult following in dance circles. They look like rejects from the Kids from Fame, but took to the decks like true professionals.

McFly One of the first bands of the day, helps explain why V stacks so highly in the take-your-mum-along stakes. With a fun-filled half-hour set, they played pop favourites such as Five Colours In Her Hair, and provided a bit of light relief for the day's merriment.

Pixie Lott Best known for her single Mama Do, Pixie threw out a heartfelt-yet-unappreciated performance to The Arena's dwindling crowd. Her performance fell flat as revellers made their way to other stages or the bar.

Noisettes The aptly-named former Brit School attendee, Shingai Shoniwa, was as loud as her outfit. They played a wild set to the heaving crowds.
