The winners of the Road To V have been announced! Currently unsigned Matt Trakker and The Rebs are now set to open this weekend’s UK V Festival in Chelmsford & Stafford. They beat over 2,500 competition entrants and most impressed the judges - Carl Barat included - at the final heats in London and Liverpool. Matt Trakker (named after a character is M.A.S.K - remember that 80s cartoon, pop culture kids?) is a singer-songwriter from Hackney while The Rebs are from Southampton and love a good bit of synth pop. Hurrah. Curious? You should be. So make sure you catch them this weekend - as well as Muse, The Verve, Kings Of Leon, Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, Amy Winehouse, Stereophonics, Pigeon Detectives, The Zutons, Ian Brown, The Chemical Brothers, Guillemots and loads loads more of course…
You can listen to the V Festival as broadcast on Virgin Radio over the weekend via the magical radio pop up thing up in the corner of this very site. And if you miss that then watch the video footage of Matt Trakker and The Rebs on roadtov.com from 21 August.
