Manchester toe-tapping indie boys Keith and 16-year-old indie poppers Bombay Bicycle Club are the winners of this year's Road To V competition. Won last year by The The Young Knives, this year's competition had over 4,000 entries from bands hoping to open this weekend's V Festival.

Playing alongside Keith in the final were Sunny Day Sets Fire and the hotly-tipped The Holloways, who are supporting Babyshambles and Noisettes on tour this Autumn.

Keith will open the Staffordshire site on the Saturday and the Chelmsford site on the Sunday, vice versa for Bombaby Bicycle Club and you can find out more about them on their MySpace pages: www.myspace.com/bombaybicycleclub and www.myspace.com/keiththeband.
