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. It was also announced that the festival will be at Chelmsford’s Hylands Park site only and will unfortunately, not be taking place at Staffordshire as its predecessor did.
