Beyonce and the Kings of Leon have been announced as the two acts to headline V Festival this summer

Beyonce Knowles has one hell of a busy summer in front of her. Not only is she embarking on a massive world tour, the singer has now been announced as the headline act at this year's V Festival.

Great news for all those fans (us included) who failed to get tickets to her Mrs Carter world tour. Tickets sold out in 10 minutes when they went on general sale over the weekend.
