This weekend V Festival is taking place in Chelmsford and Staffordshire. As usual there will be non-stop pop music with an infectious Top 40 line up featuring every chart-topper from Lily Allen to Justin Timberlake. Read below for our pick of the things to look forward to at this weekend's festival. We even tell you how you can get someone to put your tent up for you...

1. First things first... Mr JT!!!

Justin Timberlake is headlining at this year's V Festival. He will play in Chelmsford on Saturday night and Weston Park on Sunday. Justin rarely makes it over to UK festivals, so this is one not to be missed.

2. The weather Making the most of your wellies

The weather forecast is a bit mixed this weekend, but being typical Brits we're focusing on those pesky rain clouds which are showing up for both festival locations. But who cares anyway? We're not going to let a little rain come between us and the Sheeran. What's a festival without Hunters, eh?

3. Listen to All Saints perform Never, Ever

Justin Timberlake is great and all, but the Appleton sisters, Shaznay Lewis and Melanie Blatt aka ALL SAINTS will be performing on the Arena stage. Get ready by listening to them on loop...

4. Alan Carr

Yes that Alan Carr - the one off the telly with the glasses and the squeeky voice - is performing on the comedy stage. It'll make a nice break from all that pop.

5. Katie B and Foxes intimate performances in the Carling tent

After their sets Katy B and Foxes will be heading stright to the Carling tent, for an acoustic, intimate performance. It'll be a treat for your ears. Speaking of Carling, they will also have a team of 'roadies' who will be on standby to help you with any V-mergencies. All you do is use the #CarlingRoadies and they'll come running. Yes, they'll even pitch your tent for you.

6. The potential celeb spots in the Louder Lounge

Last year we spotted Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Rita Ora, Samantha Barks and Ellie Goulding in the VIP areas at V Festival.

7. Lily Allen

There aren't many festivals this year without Lily Allen on the schedule. We're as excited for her rainbow wardrobe and cartoonish set, as we are to hear 'Smile.' One to put glitter and rave paint on your face for.

The V line up reads like the top 40. As well as The Killers, Lily Allen and Rita Ora, this year you can see Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Bastille, Tom Odell and George Ezra.
