V Festival - Mark Ronson, Example, Scouting for Girls and more added to the line-up

V Festival, sponsored by Virgin Media, is proud to announce the addition of hit-maker Mark Ronson, performing a DJ set, Example supported by DJ Wire, Maverick Sabre, Scouting for Girls, Aston Merrygold, Bleachers and Billboard chart-topper Tove Lo to the 2015 bill.

Returning to V Festival following his 2014 appearance, Example said: “I can’t wait to return to V Festival, the crowds never disappoint. A lot of people will be used to my shows with the live band behind me, but this time I’ll be bringing DJ Wire as I want to put on a unique rave with a twist. I've been lucky enough to perform at festivals all over the world but there's always something special about V Festival - it feels like my home turf."

Maverick Sabre said: "It’s been a busy year and what better way to celebrate than playing at one of the best festivals in the UK. I’ll be dropping some new tunes so really looking forward to getting out there and sharing them with my fans.”

Aston Merrygold said: "I'm so excited to be performing at V Festival for the first time, it's going to be great fun! It has definitely been tough trying to contain myself, sitting on my hands waiting to get out there with new material, so I can't wait to finally share my music with everyone...bring it on!!!"

The newly announced acts will be joining a 20th anniversary line-up that includes Calvin Harris, Kasabian, Sam Smith, Stereophonics, George Ezra and Ellie Goulding. What’s more, the hottest names in music will be performing alongside an eclectic mix of comedy headliners including Russell Kane, Frankie Boyle, Shappi Khorsandi and Nick Helm, who will all take centre stage in the Glee Club Comedy Tent across the weekend.

In the coming months V Festival will announce additions to both music and comedy line-ups.

Swedish Band Chirping to release new single Ambitions

Swedish Band Chirping to release new single Ambitions

Chirping are an indie pop rock band hailing all the way from Sweden. The boys have been busy working on their new material, performing with Tove Lo and doing various shows all over Scandinavia.

Now they have decided to release their much anticipated new single Ambitions. Taking inspiration from the likes of The Cure, The Smiths, The Vaccines, The Drums and The Strokes, Chirping are all about authenticity, attitude and whooping hook lines.

The four-piece, consisting of Carl, Johan, Björn and Viktor, have a very strong DIY attitude. They spent a long period of time building their own rehearsal room and recording studio from scratch where they self-produced and self-mixed Ambitions. At the very last hurdle they had decided to bring in a mastering professional called Thomas Eberger who has worked with a countless amount of Swedish stars including The Hives.

The result is a clear-cut and straightforward track with a chorus giving way to another rush of serotonin each time it comes on. Carl’s low and quirky vocals are fresh, cool and honest, and he delivers his lines with the heart-on-sleeve sincerity resembling Julian Casablancas and Ian Mcculloch.

As the title suggests, Ambitions has got a go-get-it attitude, and it will be available for sale and download 27th October.
