International pop superstars Rihanna and Justin Bieber are taking over the main stages at V Festival this weekend.

Tens of thousands of music fans are expected to flock to the festival in Weston Park in Staffordshire over two days.

Canadian superstar Justin Bieber will make his festival debut at Hylands Park before moving to the site in Staffordshire alongside other acts like Jess Glynne and Stormzy.

Rude Boy singer Rihanna will share the stage with David Guetta and Little Mix before closing the festival in Chelmsford on Sunday.

Bieber is planning to make a splash with his set. He has requested 800 gallons of purified water at exactly 40 degrees as part of a huge spectacle happening during his show.

The festival said the production is one of the most challenging in its 21-yearhistory.

The event is expected to bring an estimated £93million to the local economy.
