V Festival Replacement Rize has Huge Names for 2018 Line-up
The long wait is over: Rize Festival will be at Chelmsford’s Hylands Park this August.
Last year, Richard Branson announced Virgin would no longer be sponsoring V Festival and while there was concern from festival fans as to whether there would be a replacement, V Festival tweeted there would be a new festival for 2018.
That new festival is Rize, which was announced on Tuesday along with the events main headliners: Liam Gallagher and Stereophonics.
