Rapper Eminem has been revealed as one of the headline acts at this summer's V Festival.

Arctic Monkeys will also top the bill at the event, which will take place on 20 and 21 August in Chelmsford and Staffordshire.

Both acts will perform at the event, with Eminem scheduled for Weston Park, Staffordshire on Saturday 20 August and Hylands Park, Chelmsford on Sunday 21 August.

Arctic Monkeys will play Hylands Park on 20 August and Weston Park on 21 August.

This year will also see performances from artists including Rihanna, Tinie Tempah, Plan B, Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, Razorlight, The Saturdays, Example and Jessie J.

Bob Angus, Festival Director, said:

"The breadth of accomplished talent performing throughout the weekend on the other stages is also something that we are very proud of, with heavyweight acts including Dizzee Rascal, Razorlight, Chase and Status and Duran Duran joining the party."

Fans that can't face the thought of camping can also choose to pay for luxury camping facilities, such as pop up hotels and tipis, at both sites this year.

Tickets for V Festival 2011 go on general sale Friday 4 March at 9am.
