V Festival celebrated its 21st birthday in style on Saturday (20 August), with Justin Bieber headlining at Chelmsford’s Hylands Park. 

The Canadian superstar hasn’t had the easiest week, but he took to the stage to perform a string of his biggest hits, including a number of cuts from his latest album ‘Purpose’. 

Biebs wasn’t the only one performing though, and earlier in the day, Sia, Jess Glynne, Bastille and Zara Larsson were among the other acts who entertained the crowds.
