Victorious will take place in the English seaside town of Southsea in Portsmouth in Hampshire from August 25 to August 27. The organisers of the festival have revealed that Stereophonics and Elbow are to top the bill for Saturday and Sunday night respectively, having previously stated that Madness would headline on Friday night.
Celebrating their long career, which began when they formed in 1992, Welsh rockers Stereophonics, who put out their first album, Word Gets Around, in 1997, are expected to deliver a strong set on Saturday night. Jake Bugg, Feeder, Frightened Rabbit, Sundara Karma, Lady Leshurr and Palace will be providing the support.
The Mercury Award-winning band Elbow will close the proceedings on Sunday night. Also appearing on the third and final day are Franz Ferdinand, Slaves, KT Tunstall, Tiggs Da Author and Crows.
With their nearly 40-year career still in full flow, Madness truly need no introduction. Expect to hear hits including “It Must Be Love,” “House of Fun,” “Our House” and “One Step Beyond,” alongside newer material from their most recent album, the acclaimed Can’t Touch Us Now.
The schedule for the event is as follows:
Friday, August 25, opening party from 6pm to 11pm.
Saturday, August 26, from 10am to 11pm.
Sunday, August 27, from 10am to 11pm.
With Friday night tickets costing only £25 and Saturday and Sunday £32, a day at the Victorious Festival is surely one of the best value festivals in the UK.
