Thousands braved the miserably wet British weather for one of the year’s biggest pop events – ‘V Festival 2011!’

Decked in an array of rain coats and trusty gumboots, fans descended upon muddy fields, desperate for a glimpse at headline act and RnB King Eminem!

And while Em smashed it with a medley of hits including ‘The Real Slim Shady’ and ‘The Way I Am,’ it was his onstage reunion with Rihanna that really got the crowd going!



According to MTV UK, the packed-out audience went “crazy” when the pop princess came out on stage, to perform their smash hit duet ‘Love The Way You Lie.’

But that wasn’t the only surprise at the three-day bash…

After belting out some golden oldies like ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’ and ‘When The Sun Goes Down,’ as well as their new single ‘Library Pictures,’ the Arctic Monkeys thrilled fans when they invited The Rascals rocker Miles Kane up on stage to close their 85 minute set to ‘505.’



Meanwhile, Brit songstress Jessie J, who’s been busy recovering from a broken foot, returned to the stage to belt out crowd faves including ‘Do It Like A Dude’ and ‘Price Tag.’

Showing off a fluorescent new purple do, the wacky popstar, who’s still sporting a huge leg cast, was forced to rock out from a padded couch.



But while Jessie was thrilled to be back, Glasvegas couldn’t wait to ‘Come Back Home.’

According to Loaded Magazine, the rockers stormed off stage after just four songs when members of the crowd reportedly started throwing bottles at them.
