Yamaha had a massive presence during this years V-Festival in Chelmsford.
Yamaha artists showcased our products in the majority of acts – our drums, guitars and keys never looked or sounded better.
It wasn’t just instruments on stage that helped these artists sound top notch, our digital live mixing consoles also played a huge and important part to the whole weekend with a PM5D used during Razorlight's performance.
Check out below to see a selection of who rocked live during V and what Yamaha artists have released albums and singles ready for you to download this month.
