The 2014 V Festival was the first to be staged with the new shareholders Live Nation and new broadcaster and sponsor MTV, took place over the weekend of 16–17 August 2014. The main stage headliners were Justin Timberlake and The Killers, as announced at m on Monday 3 March 2014, with tickets on general release the following Friday morning. Other high-profile bookings included Paolo Nutini and Ed Sheeran, who had between them released the two biggest-selling albums of the year up to the festival, and festival debutants included Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monae and Kodaline . in comparison with other British music festivals. V Festival has received criticism for charging ?10 to buy a programme – the only way festival-goers can see what time artists are performing – while others have mentioned the fact burgers cost ?7 and water bottles are sometimes confiscated at the entrance, costing up to ?2 once inside the grounds. Buying four crates on site would cost a person the same price as a ticket.
