The Road to V could mean the road to stardom for Colchester band Rosalita.

The five indie pop specialists are set to play their biggest gig to date at Chelmsford's V Festival this weekend after a spectacular victory in Virgin Mobile's competition for unsigned artists.

For their prize, Rosalita will play on the same bill as the Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Kasabian and The Killers.
