The afternoon sunshine has stuck around into the evening here at Weston Park, for the finale of V Festival 2010.

After the antics of earlier, I’ve braved the portaloos - admittedly the ones backstage - and had chance to catch a few more acts this evening.

At the moment, I’m sat watching Florence and the Machine as Miss Welch has just taken to the 4Music stage ahead of David Guetta - tonight’s headliner up against the mighty Kings of Leon. I’m trying hard not to type to the tune of ‘Rabbit Heart’.

My evening has had a distinct lack of Derulo, but nonetheless I’ve caught a couple more of this year’s big V acts. Heading from the press tent, I managed to catch Paul Weller coming off stage kindly and eloquently informing his audience not to throw bottles at each other - “we’re all brothers” and the likes.

Reports backstage were speculating that ever-popular Ellie Goulding had possibly started celebrating the wrong side of her performance. However, Ellie took to the stage and gave a stunning, crow-pleasing performance. She performed the sensual new single, ‘The Writer’, to the accompaniment of many a waving lighter, and gave a stunning extended performance of ‘Under the Sheets’.

Sat watching Florence, you can hardly wonder why she draws such a massive crowd. Resonating around the site I can hear an outstanding rendition of ‘You Got The Love’, the amazing Candy Staton cover, with en-mass audience participation. Without meaning to sound like a gushy critic, Florence (as always) whips up an epic, mesmerising performance.

I managed to catch a glimpse of Stereophonics, who gave V-fans an epic mixture of new and classic ‘phonics. In between Florence I can just hear fans going mad for some old Stereophonics tunes.

Overall V experience - well worth it. Even side-tracking the main stage, some epic sets from chart-topping artists from this year.

Now, just for the decision between Guetta and the Leon. I’ll keep you posted…
