Eels and the Magic Numbers Join V Festival Lineup

Eels and the Magic Numbers have been added to the lineup for this August's V Festival, along with pop stars Robyn and Gabriella Cilmi.

Rapper Tinie Tempah, whose track 'Pass Out' was a recent UK No. 1, has also joined the bill for the twin-site festival, which takes place in Chelmsford, Essex; and Weston Park, Staffordshire, on Aug. 21 and 22.

Other additions to the bill include 'X Factor' finalist Diana Vickers, Irish rock stalwarts the Saw Doctors, electro duo Hurts and rapper Example.

Brit and NME Award winners Kasabian have already been announced as headliners, along with Kings of Leon.

Stereophonics, the Prodigy, Paul Weller, the Kooks and Florence and the Machine are also on the bill, as are Faithless, the Pet Shop Boys, Madness, Editors, White Lies, the Charlatans, Shed Seven, La Roux, Ellie Goulding, Kate Nash and Pixie Lott.

Eels' appearances at V are, at the moment, Mark Oliver Everett's only planned live shows in the UK. His recent album 'End Times' -- largely made on a four-track recorder -- was a favourite with critics.

The Magic Numbers are preparing for a June tour to support the release of their third album, 'The Runaway.' They are also due to play Kent's Hop Farm Festival on July 3.
