Bibi Bourelly, co-writer of headliner Rihanna’s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’, will be performing at V Festival ahead of the release of her debut studio album later in the year. Bibi will be showcasing her new songs as well as performing her smash hit ‘Ego’ which made the Spotify viral charts in both the US and UK.

Angel, the West London rapper and record producer, will also play the festival. The hip-hop artist has previously collaborated with the likes of Wretch 32 on ‘Go In, Go Hard’ as well as Fuse ODG on ‘Leyla’ and Wiley on the vocals for smash song, ‘Lights On’.

Jonas Blue, Lightning Seeds, JoJo, Bibi Bourelly and Angel will join V Festival’s all-star line up that includes Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Sia and David Guetta.
